Opening in limited release is the documentary Gimme Danger directed by Jim Jarmusch about the rock-n-roll band The Stooges. The movie doesn’t feature any original score and no soundtrack album has been released. The film recounts the hard-rocking history of Iggy Pop and The Stooges, who burst out of Michigan in the late ’60s with a savage and endlessly influential fusion of rock, blues, R&B, and free jazz. The documentary premiered at this year’s Cannes Film Festival and is being released by Magnolia Pictures and Amazon Studios. Visit the official movie website for more information.
Opening in Los Angeles is the indie drama King Cobra directed by Justin Kelly and starring James Franco, Christian Slater, Garrett Clayton, Keegan Allen, Alicia Silverstone and Molly Ringwald.

King Cobra centers on a porn star who creates a slew of wildly successful videos, triggering the turf war with rival producers.
