Cat Power, aka Chan Marshall, has been announced as the narrator of Janis, a forthcoming documentary about Janis Joplin. In particular, Marshall will read letters written by the late singer.

Janis was made with the support of Joplin’s estate. The movie was directed by Oscar-nominated Amy Berg (Deliver Us From Evil), and will premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September.
