Watch a New, Extended Trailer for the Doors Documentary ‘Break On Thru: A Celebration of Ray Manzarek’

On Feb. 12, a special documentary from The Doors will screen in theaters for one night and one night only.

Break On Thru: A Celebration of Ray Manzarek is a cinematic toast to late keyboardist Ray Manzarek, and looks to be a grand affair commemorating the beloved musician, who passed away in 2013. A short teaser trailer surfaced in December, but now a longer, full-length trailer has made its way online as a more substantial preview of the film to come.
