As first tipped here in May, the Doors documentary "When You're Strange" will premiere Jan. 17 at the Sundance Film Festival.

Written and directed by Tom DiCillo, "Strange" utilizes a wealth of previously unseen footage to chart the band's beginnings at UCLA's film school through to frontman Jim Morrison's mysterious death in 1971.

Describing the movie to Billboard earlier this year, Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek said it was "the anti-Oliver Stone," in reference to the 1991 film "The Doors." "This will be the true story of the Doors."

Rhino will release a soundtrack to "When You're Strange" next summer.
