Damon Albarn has dropped hints about a Gorillaz movie before, some over a year ago, but it’s always been very vague. Well sort of good news, because while not much appears to have happened, it’s been confirmed something will now be happening:
“I’m at Netflix because we’re making a full-length Gorillaz film with Netflix,” Albarn told Apple Music, “Yeah, we’re having a writing session in Malibu this afternoon. It’s really exciting to do that. It’s something we’ve been wanting to do for a very long time. It’s been through so many incarnations…this Gorillaz doing a movie. Honestly.”
“But Netflix, I don’t know. I mean, apart from them kind of running this city now, I mean, it’s just extraordinary to see how ubiquitous they are now. Yeah. They just seem like they’re a good creative team, you know?”
Okay, so Netflix are doing it. Any more details? “But I can’t say anything more about it, obviously, because… No, no, no.”
