Daft Punk TV Doc Teases Helmet-lessness, Kanye West Interview
Update (6/10): Almost a year ago, we got news that the first-ever Daft Punk documentary was in the works. Now, we have a release date, details about special guests and more.
Daft Punk Unchained is an hourlong TV doc that follows the rise of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo aka the French robot duo we know and love today. Produced by BBC Worldwide, the special will air June 24 on Canal+, a channel in the act's native France. International release dates are expected soon, but don't be surprised if this one ends up as another Tidal exclusive as the guys are partners in Jay Z's streaming service.
Some highlights being teased so far include viewers getting to see what the guys look like under their helmets (!!!) as well interviews with Kanye West, Pharrell, Nile Rodgers and Giorgio Moroder.
The last juicy bit we learned was about the doc's accompanying theme song will be composed by Joseph Trapanese, the man who worked on the Tron 2 soundtrack with the robots.
