Daft Punk’s robot saga Electroma will finally show in North America! The movie first screened at the Cannes Film Festival an entire year ago, and I’ve been stoked to see it since! The plot revolves around two androids on their quest to become human. The entire film was shot in a mere 11 days, mostly in Independence California.
Here is a few minutes from the reel, with music by Todd Rundgren:
Actually none of the music in the movie is by Daft Punk themselves, the duo have their hands full with directing and acting!
Electroma Cast:
Peter Hurteau as Hero #1
Michael Reich as Hero #2
Ritche Lago Bautista as Robot Groomsman
Daniel Doble as Robot Pastor
Athena Stamos as Robot Waitress

Sweet! There just aren’t enough android movies in the US. This looks like Wild Zero with androids instead of Japanese rockers. Can’t wait! Keep me posted if this screens anywhere in the States besides LA.
