When You’re Strange: A Film About the Doors – out on DVD and Blu-Ray
Just a friendly reminder to all you Doors/Jim Morrison fans out there. The DVD and Blue-Ray editions of When You’re Strange: A Film About the Doors will be released here in the U.S. on June 29th. I like the fact that director Tom DiCillo decided against including the typical talking-head interviews with the remaining Doors members. Instead, the film focuses primarily on vintage footage from the late 60′s and early 70′s with running commentary/narration by none other than Johnny Depp.

here’s the official press release:
Eagle Rock Entertainment, the UK based independent, has licensed the North American DVD and Blu-Ray rights to “When You’re Stange: A Film About The Doors” from Rhino Entertainment. The documentary uncovers historic and previously unseen footage of the illustrious rock band and provides new insight into the revolutionary impact of its music and legacy.
Directed by award-winning writer/director Tom DiCillo and narrated by Johnny Depp, the film is a riveting account of the band’s history. Produced by Wolf Films/Strange Pictures, in association with Rhino Entertainment, the 90-minute film is the first feature documentary about The Doors. Additional credits for the film include producers Peter Jankowski, Dick Wolf, John Beug and Jeff Jampol. “When You’re Strange” had its theatrical debut on April 9 and will be released through Eagle Vision on standard DVD and Blu-Ray on June 29th.
Terry Shand, Chairman of Eagle, said, “We are delighted to continue our visual programming connection with The Doors and to build further on our co-operation with Rhino.”
Mike Carden, President of North America Operations, said, “We are very excited about marketing this film and will work hard with our sales and distribution partners to promote the DVD as well as work closely with Rhino to cross-promote the soundtrack album.”
