Status: Lost
Gorillaz is a British virtual band created by Blur frontman Damon Albarn and Tank Girl artist Jamie Hewlett, which consists of four animated members: 2-D, Murdoc Niccals, Russel Hobbs and Noodle.
Shortly after the release of their self-titled first album, Hewlett announced that a Gorillaz film with the working title of Celebrity Harvest was in its early stages of development, along with a second album that would serve as the film's soundtrack. It was further teased in Blur's 2003 album Think Tank, which had the words "Celebrity Harvest" printed on a corner of the booklet.[1][2]
Very little is known about the movie itself. Hewlett described it as "a very dark film", however, it appears that a definitive plot had never been established. In a 2005 Trax Magazine interview with the band, it was revealed via the fictional characters that the movie had been scrapped.[3] According to Hewlett, big animation studios such as Dreamworks were unwilling to produce the movie, likely because it would've been too mature for a child audience (though Gorillaz, by themselves, were far from being child friendly).[4]
