Tickets are available now at interstella5555film.com for Daft Punk’s Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, a one-night-only event that brings the space opera anime to the big screen at over 800 cinemas across the globe, remastered in stunning 4K, plus six of Daft Punk’s most iconic music videos. The event’s official trailer debuted today.
Brought to life with the help of manga and anime legend Leiji Matsumoto (Space Captain Harlock, Galaxy Express 999), Interstella 5555 is an animated journey through Daft Punk’s album Discovery, which is certified Gold in the U.S., Platinum in Japan, 2x Platinum in the U.K. and 3x Platinum in France.
Originally conceived during the creation of their sophomore album, featuring hits like “One More Time” and “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,” the film offers a deeper narrative to the music. This sonic and visual odyssey follows the story of the Crescendolls, an abducted alien band, as they fight against an evil human with a dark plan.
Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem was created by French electronic music duo, Daft Punk (Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter) and Cédric Hervet in collaboration with Leiji Matsumoto and Toei Animation and directed by frequent Daft Punk collaborator Kazuhisa Takenouchi (Dragon Ball franchise, Vampire Wars).
The special theatrical presentation also features music videos directed by Spike Jonze, Michel Gondry, Seb Janiak, Roman Coppola and Warren Fu. The global event is presented by Trafalgar Releasing.
As previously announced, the album Discovery: Interstella 5555 Edition is available in limited quantities on vinyl and CD, and a special line of Interstella 5555 Collection merchandise is available at daftpunk.com.
