Damon: "We're making a Gorillaz film, and Terry Gilliam is involved"
Gorillaz co-creator Damon Albarn has spoken out on the progress of the Gorillaz movie idea. In an interview in the latest issue of UK music magazine uncut, Damon says that acclaimed director (Twelve Monkeys, Brazil) and Monty Python member Terry Gilliam is involved:-

" [Gorillaz] has been a fantastic journey which isn't over, because we're making a film. We've got Terry Gilliam involved. But as far as being in a big band and putting pop music out there, it's finished. We won't be doing that any more."

I'm sure there will be new music, just in the form of a soundtrack. I'd really like to see Damon do a score for a film. And I'm sure it will have plenty of new songs, too.

I find it a little sad as Damon's saying that there will be no more band or music things for them in the future. But the film sounds great!

HOLY MFING SHIT! I'M GONNA SEE THAT!!!! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SO EXCITED!
But it really is sad...no, DEPRESSING...that Gorillaz will be coming to an end. But ya know what, peoples? Lets not be TOO upset about it. I mean, Gorillaz fans everywhere will be sad about it, but let's let the depression state begin AFTER Gorillaz end, okay? I mean, if Gorillaz are gonna die, lets let 'em die with insane fans who adore them.

I know they'll make more music! Don't fool us, Albarn!

As for the movie, interesting. Is it possible that recent Kong Studio events (El Manana, 2D operation, Russel's army, and Murdoc 6/6/06) are basically like a prelude to the movie?

Gosh, I hope that Damon is high as a kite whenever he says no more Gorillaz music. 'Cause as much as the idea of a film makes me go "w00t", the idea of no more music simply squashes that joy and turns it into sorrow.

I think it's pretty stuppid when people bitch about no more Gorillaz albums. It started out as a side project in between Blur albums and comic books, remember? Two extremly awesome albums, two interactive DVDs, A BOOK! How many bands have put out a BOOK?!?! Not many. They're so original and genious, and I think its safe to say that it is time to just let it go. Oh, wait, I forgot, there's a FEATURE LENGTH FILM COMING OUT!!! In my opinon, a feature length film should be enough to hold fans and non-fans alike...

Relax, Damon kinda announced the "demise" of Gorillaz MONTHS ago and then said something along the lines of, "But isn't it really hip hop to retire and then come back?" Gorillaz will return.

Finally, a movie!

Many bands/projects have said they're Not Gonna Do It Any More, and Did It Again anyway, so I wouldn't recommend give up hope on seeing a "Gorillaz reunion" completely. I mean, aren't the Eagles on their "I Swear To God, And On Our Mothers' Graves, This Is Our Last Tour, Really Mean It This Time, No Foolies, For Sure" tour?

I sincerely hope to god that Mr. Gilliam doesn't screw this one up, like he did with the Brothers Grimm. I mean, good movie, but God, could it have gotten ANY weirder?
But him w/ a Gorillaz project... this is gonna be good. FIngers crossed and long live Murdoc.

I really hope they are not over. They are what I am. I cherich them more than life itself. Damon Albarn is like the center of all which is music. He can't just quit making music like THAT. The gorillaz must live forever and I don't care if they are a ARE a cartoon band for all you gorillaz haters out there. THEY ARE NOT OVER. QUIT TRICKING US DAMON AND JAMIE. VIVA LA GORILLAZ.
VIVA LA DAMON.

I am however glad that they are still working on a gorillaz movie. I really hope it will turn out great.

But I have a few questions:
1. Didn't someone say that this is only phase 2.5? and I think I heard someone say, that the gorillaz were also working on a phase 3.

2. Would the movie either be in theaters? or just go directally to DVD or something? I'm mostly thinking DVD.

Can anyone answer these?

Thank you all....

1. Nobody knows what's going on in the heads of those two. If they are ending the band then the release of the DVD and the book is probably the end of phase two.
2. Not sure. I guess depending on the budget, hype, and promoting of the film will we see if it goes in theaters or on DVD.

Frankly, i'm not getting worried about this whole thing at all. They stated in the Essentials showing that they "are tired of it FOR THE MOMENT."

pff.. i'll believe it when i see it... its either real, or another fluke...
and even if it is real.. it'll probably be 4 years or some crap before it is released.

and what!? Damon is killing the Gorillaz? well, if no more music they better produce other shit. i don't know why Jamie lets Damon wear the pants in their Gorillaz relationship. or has Jamie let Damon take all control and Jamie just draws the art..? bullshit i say! i'd slap Damon if i could. >:E

Tchh...! Load of shit. It's cool a movie is coming out, but i hate getting pissed about this whole split up thing again. If he really is going to stop the band I'd really like to know what BS reason he has for doing it. Hypothetically speaking, if they do break up and he doesn't give out a reason, then he's giving up too easily and not thinking of the fans. I still don't like how Jamie and Damon simply called Gorillaz "just an idea" in the "Essential: Gorillaz" documentary, since there are a lot fans who see Gorillaz as a real band. Still though, i'm not going to get too worried about this because in the Essentials interview Damon said "We are tired of it FOR THE MOMENT."
