WHEN YOU'RE STRANGE - A FILM ABOUT THE DOORS, uncovers historic and previously unseen footage of the illustrious rock band and provides new insight into the revolutionary impact of its music and legacy. The film also features scenes from "HWY," Jim Morrison's unreleased film from 1969, which he starred in and made with a group of filmmaker friends. Directed by award-winning writer/director Tom DiCillo and narrated by Johnny Depp, the film is a riveting account of the band's history and the first feature documentary about them.

The film reveals an intimate perspective on the creative chemistry between drummer John Densmore, guitarist Robby Krieger, keyboardist Ray Manzarek and singer Jim Morrison -- four brilliant artists who made The Doors one of America's most iconic and influential rock bands. Using footage shot between the band's 1965 formation and Morrison's 1971 death, WHEN YOU'RE STRANGE follows the band from the corridors of UCLA's film school, where Manzarek and Morrison met, to the stages of sold-out arenas.

WHEN YOU'RE STRANGE captures the zeitgeist and upheaval of an era while providing insight into who The Doors were, what they became, and what they mean to our culture, especially today.

Produced by Wolf Films/Strange Pictures, in association with Rhino Entertainment, and released by Abramorama. Additional credits for WHEN YOU'RE STRANGE include producers Dick Wolf, John Beug, Jeff Jampol, and Peter Jankowski. The film is written and directed by Tom DiCillo ("Johnny Suede," "Living in Oblivion"). Narrated by Johnny Depp. More info here: whenyourestrangemovie.com

Rhino will also celebrate The Doors' legacy as one of America's most influential rock bands with the release of the film's soundtrack, which combines studio recordings and live performances with newly recorded readings of Morrison's poetry by Depp. WHEN YOU'RE STRANGE: SONGS FROM THE MOTION PICTURE will be released Tuesday, April 6.

The soundtrack contains several selections of Jim Morrison's poetry as read by Depp, 14 songs that survey The Doors' six landmark albums with original studio versions of classic tracks ("Touch Me," "The End," and "L.A. Woman") along with rare live performances from The Ed Sullivan Show ("Light My Fire"), Danish TV ("When The Music's Over"), and the Isle Of Wight Festival ("Break On Through [To The Other Side]"). The set also features interview clips with all four band members.‬
