“Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem” has returned to our solar system.
The Japanese animated feature, built around Daft Punk’s 2001 breakthrough album “Discovery,” was released back in 2003 and has long been unavailable. But all that changes this week. After a series of special screenings (including one earlier this year at the Tribeca Festival in New York), the movie will have a wide re-release – in over 800 cinemas in 40 countries.

TheWrap spoke to Pedro Winter, the former manager of Daft Punk (nee Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo), about the creation of the movie and its long overdue return.
