Daft Punk will give the world an early holiday gift on December 12, when their 2003 anime film Interstella 5555: The 5story of the 5ecret 5tar 5system screens in more than 800 theaters in 40 countries around the globe.

Fans of Interstella 5555, created by the French duo and Daft Punk creative director Cédric Hervet in collaboration with Japanese artist Leiji Matsumoto and Japanese animation studio Toei Animation, will know the film is soundtracked by every song on Daft Punk’s 2001 album Discovery, which includes “One More Time,” “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,” “Digital Love” and 11 other all-time classics.

As the film was cut into individual music videos to become a visual album, it hasn’t been widely screened in its entirety in theaters, until now. As a big time bonus, the day after the screenings Discovery: Interstella 5555 Edition will be released, with 5,555 copies of the album to be released on gold vinyl, along 5,555 numbered CDs and a limited run of black vinyl available worldwide with the original Japanese edition artwork.

The screenings are happening in partnership with Trafalgar Releasing, which specializes in special event cinema distribution and also worked on the 2023 cinematic releases of Taylor Swift‘s The Eras Tour concert film and Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé. Tickets for the Interstella 5555 screenings go on sale November 13.

“We’re excited to bring Daft Punk’s iconic Interstella 5555, now fully remastered in stunning 4K, to cinemas for this one-night-only global event,” Trafalgar Releasing CEO Marc Allenby says in a statement. “This is a rare opportunity to experience the film on the big screen, along with accompanying Daft Punk music videos, and we can’t wait to share it with audiences everywhere.”

Lil Wayne Breaks Silence On Kendrick Lamar's "Wacced Out Murals" Reference

The Lil Wayne and Kendrick Lamar conflict has been a fascinating addendum to the Drake and Lamar battle. Lamar has made it clear that he does not respect the 6 God in any regard. Lil Wayne, on the other hand, is someone he grew up listening to. He even rapped about the irony of letting Weezy down on the first song of his new album, GNX. Fans have gone back and forth as to whether the reference was meant to be a diss towards Wayne or a tacit acknowledgment of the fact that he will be playing the Super Bowl Halftime Show in Lil Wayne's hometown. Well, Weezy has finally given his two cents on the matter.

Lil Wayne went on The Skip Bayless Show to explain what transpired between him and Kendrick Lamar. He absolved the Compton rapper of any fault in the upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show. He did not feel slighted by the fact that Dot referenced him by name on "wacced out murals." "Used to bump Tha Carter III, I held my Rollie chain proud," Lamar spits. "Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down." Lil Wayne clarified that he had not actually heard the song prior to the Bayless interview. Upon having the lyrics read to him, however, he took it as a sign of mutual respect.

Lil Wayne Took Kendrick Lamar's Lyrics In Good Faith

"He's a fan like I'm a fan," the rapper stated. "He saw like everybody else, he saw how much it meant to me. I think that's all he mean." Lil Wayne went to say that he understood what Lamar meant, especially with regard to his hard work. "I understand those words," Weezy assured the host. "He made it there... His hard work is the reason he made it there." Wayne's good faith read of the song makes a lot of sense given that Kendrick Lamar dubbed him the "greatest" in a 2022 interview with The Coveteur.

The Compton rapper, who worked with Wayne on 2018's "Mona Lisa," told the outlet that Weezy's impact on hip hop culture is immeasurable. "We was just huge, still to this day, huge Lil Wayne fans," he explained. "Lil Wayne is the greatest. Not only because of his music but also because of the culture he put behind it. It was a big part of what he was talking about, so we always hold Wayne in high regards." Wayne responded to the interview by calling Lamar a "real one" on Twitter.
