It wasn't a film so much as it was the world's longest music video.

They have done that before, with Inter Stella 5555.

They only directed Electroma; they didn't do the music.

Can't watch it from the U.S.:

Not the best quality, but it works.

Interstella 5555 was co-produced by Leiji Matsumoto (Space Battleship Yamato, Captain Harlock, Galaxy Express 999...), by the way, who Daft Punk were huge fans of as children. Need I say any more?

I'm not sure if you are saying that just because or because you know that what you say is actually true. Tron: Legacy was actually the first movie where the soundtrack was made before the film was finished, and the film was actually edited to fit the music (all other movies are scored after the final edit and the music is fit to the film).

In theory yes, but it happens more often than you'd think. A lot of editors cut to music - if the score isn't available, they'll often cut to some classical piece that can be freely used as a basis for the score without copyright worries. It's an easy way of making sure your edit has rhythm.

You have a source for that information?
Re:Daft Punk Didn't "Get Lucky" When It Created This Summer'... by jedberg on Saturday July 06, 2013 @11:44AM (#5999131)
I don't have a linkable source. I heard it directly from an industry insider and apparently no one seems to have talked about it publicly. :(

I guess you'll just have to take it with a grain of salt.

I'd agree with this.
