Daft Punk Unveils Trailer for Iconic Anime Film

Daft Punk has released an exciting trailer for their acclaimed 2003 anime film, Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar. This new trailer comes just in time for a special one-night-only event scheduled for December 12, where fans will have the chance to experience the film on the big screen at over 800 theaters worldwide.

The film, directed by Kazuhisa Takenouchi and produced under the watchful eye of legendary Japanese manga artist Leiji Matsumoto, serves as a stunning visual companion to Daft Punk’s groundbreaking 2001 album, Discovery. This album has achieved remarkable accolades, including being certified Gold in the United States, 2x Platinum in the United Kingdom, and 3x Platinum in France. It has also earned a spot on Euronews Culture’s list of Best European Albums of the 21st Century.

Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar has recently been remastered in 4K, and the screening will feature an additional six iconic music videos by Daft Punk, directed by renowned filmmakers such as Spike Jonze, Michel Gondry, Roman Coppola, and Warren Fu.

This dialogue-free masterpiece is a space opera that tells the captivating story of the Crescendolls, an alien band that is abducted and must thwart the sinister plans of an evil human. The narrative was crafted by the brilliant minds behind Daft Punk, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo. Initially, the film had a limited theatrical release in 2003 following its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, where it was featured in the Directors’ Fortnight section. Since then, it has only been available on home media.
