“We watched some clips and talked about some of the scenes that they needed some music for, and Brad Furman, Alberto Bof, Johnny and I started talking about ideas on what I could add.
“There was always something going on at Johnny’s place, so it wasn’t unusual for him to give me a call to come down and join in,” says JOE. While the film was in production, Perry - who was staying at Johnny Depp’s house working on his last solo album Sweetzerland Manifesto (2018, Roman Records) - was invited by Depp to view some clips from the movie. Together they explore why the case remains cold - and why a secretive division of the LAPD is seemingly set on keeping it that way. Depp stars as determined LAPD detective Russell Poole (who spends nearly 20 years trying to solve the murder) with Forest Whitaker as Jack Jackson (a journalist who teams up with Poole in search of the elusive truth). Released earlier this year in theaters and VOD and starring Perry’s Hollywood Vampires bandmate Johnny Depp, City Of Lies was released on Blu-ray and DVD June 8.īased on the book LAbyrinth by Randall Sullivan and adapted by Christian Contreras, City Of Lies (Saban Films) is a dramatic crime thriller that follows the investigation into the infamous murder of iconic rap artist Notorious B.I.G.
Aerosmith guitarist and songwriter Joe Perry has contributed five songs to the Brad Furman-directed City Of Lies film.
