The followers of the English virtual band, Gorillaz, have been extremely active in recent days since the new song that they will release with the Puerto Rican Bad Bunny has been leaked, and now it has been confirmed that the film that was in the works by Netflix has been cancelled.
It was in October 2020 when Damon Albarn, leader of the band, confirmed that Gorillaz was working on a movie.
“I’m on Netflix because we’re doing a full Gorillaz movie with Netflix,” he said at the time. Yes, we are having a writing session in Malibu this afternoon. It’s really exciting to do that. It’s something we’ve wanted to do for a long time. It’s been through so many incarnations… this Gorillaz making a movie. Honestly”.
But due to a cut at the streaming platform’s animation division, Albarn has now confirmed that it will “never happen.” In a new interview with Belgian publication HUMO, he added: “The streaming platform we were making the movie for has pulled out. They started to panic because they were making too much content and decided to reduce their movie offers.
