Cleopatra Entertainment has set a release date for ROOM 37 – THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF JOHNNY THUNDERS, a supernatural horror-thriller written and directed by Vicente and Fernando Cordero Caballero. The film features Leo Ramsey, Devin McGregor Ketko, Timothy Lee-Priest, and Jason Lasater, and includes the infamous Johnny Thunders song “Born to Lose,” along with a vocal appearance by legendary New York Dolls member Sylvain Sylvain.

Famed rock and roll guitarist Johnny Thunders arrives in New Orleans to begin a new chapter of his life by following a new musical sound and staying clean from drugs in order to see his kids again.  After he settles into the St. Peter’s Guest House Hotel, things go awry. His room is robbed which contained the last of his money and his only methadone supply.  Johnny’s journey to recovery quickly turns dark when he takes desperate measures to get better, all which propel Johnny deeper in chaos that ultimately leads to his unexplained mysterious final hours.

Room 37 - The Mysterious Death Of Johnny Thunders (Official Trailer)

Leo Ramsay, an actor that has mainly only starred in short films, plays the titular character; in the trailer alone his performance is raw, sympathetic, and realistic. It’s an interesting take on the death of the iconic musician, and since nobody knows for sure how it happened, it doesn’t seem that offensive to offer a guess of supernatural forces or something even weirder. New York Dolls was a band I got into early as I delved deeper into the punk rock world, and I’m excited to see what this film has to offer.

The film is set for its UK premiere on March 24^th at the second annual Sound Screen Music & Film Festival at the Regent Street Cinema in London, England, which runs from March 22nd thru March 27^th. Cleopatra will debut the film on Tuesday, May 21^st worldwide on all VOD platforms.

The limited-edition Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Soundtrack format will be released on May 24^th, 2019, including performances by the real Johnny Thunders as well as his former bandmates Walter Lure and Sylvain Sylvain.
