West acknowledges conflicted feelings about L.A., where his mother died and his daughter was born. "The city took my mother, but the city also gave me my child," he says.
Olivia Wilde, Ashley Olsen, Lily Collins, Juliette Lewis, Alan Cumming, Shaun White and Corey Feldman are also among the stars appearing in the simplistic short.
Recalling her first impressions the city, Wilde dreamily says: "I thought it was the most magical place I'd ever been. It's the promised land."
30 Seconds To Mars fans were treated to an early showing of the documentary short at the band's Hollywood Bowl show earlier this month.
"City Of Angels is a short film about this wild, weird, and wonderful land, Los Angeles, California. A place that has left its mark on the world's imagination and a place where dreams can actually come true," Leto said in a statement. "I made this short film so I could share my thoughts on this incredibly special place and talk to others about theirs. It's not so much about this particular city but more about the people who inhabit it. This is for the dreamers who know that sometimes the impossible is indeed possible."
"City of Angels," the song, is the second single off 30 Seconds To Mars' fourth album, "LOVE LUST FAITH + DREAMS." Leto, currently on tour with his band, will also hit the big screen on Friday opposite Matthew McConaughey in "The Dallas Buyers Club." An acoustic version of "City of Angels" is featured on the film's soundtrack.
