An animated musical from Daft Punk will be screened at the Cannes Film Festival this weekend. The movie - called 'Interstella 5555: The Story of the Secret Star System' - has been over three years in the making. They came up with the idea while recording their second album. In 2000 they came up with a concept and then teamed up with Japanese animators Leiji Matsumoto and Shinji Shimizu. The story is based on four musicians from another galaxy who are kidnapped by an evil manager who wants to make them the biggest band on earth.
