Gorillaz To Release Documentary Film

Gorillaz have revealed they are to release a documentary film that goes behind the scenes of Damon Albarn's animated band.

'Bananaz' will be the first film to capture the reality behind the multi-platinum band that was created following a late-night conversation between Albarn and animator Jamie Hewlett in 2000.

The film is being made by the band's longtime friend Ceri Levy, who produced Blur's 1994 documentary 'Starshaped'.

It will be sold and distributed internationally by HanWay Films.

A release date is yet to be confirmed.

Thanks for the info to NME.com.

I'm pissed that they aren't gonna have any more albums...and I'm still hoping it's just a publicity thing... But I'll definitely pick this up, I know it'll be interesting.

Hellyeah for Gorillaz, they rock

[Jastul]

looking forward to it

[qotsa1998]

they already have 2 DVDs, even tho im not objecting to a 3rd one. Damon hasnt done any more Gorillaz b/c hes been touring and recording with his new super-band, The good the bad and the Queen. But i do hope he comes back and does another album w/ Gorillaz.

Cool, I love Gorillaz.

[Sound Mind]

gimmie!

I think I heard Blur is getting back together too. Gorillaz 2nd album was ok, but I like the first better.

[LazyLatinoRocke]

I didn't know that unreal animated people can release their own documentary

[Son_of_Kyuss]

Yes! The world needs more works by the Gorillaz! Demon Days and the first album are easily some of the best albums to come out in the last 10 years in my opinion. They effortlessly intertwined so many styles into one great listening experience. The song "Last Living Souls" and "Dirty Harry" are unreal. I hope they make more albums in the future after the Blur reunion.

[Nerdo-sez-bo]

They never said anythign about not releasing any new stuff. Damon said that if he feels inspired or compelled to in the future, he will. But that could be anywhere from like, a week to a year. So who knows.

that sounds pretty damn cool. gorillaz are awsome

[MentalityBand]

I never liked them.
The idea was clever, but I just never liked the music.



I-E-A-I-A-I-O

gorillaz are insanely awesome, but currently my favorite animated band is Dethklok.

Checked.

To all those people who said they'll never release another record, think about the whole Gorillaz back-story. Phase Three hasn't happened yet, so there will be another album. All those articles saying otherwise were fabricated.
