Damon Albarn's Gorillaz Film Will Never Happen

Jamie Hewlett has said that a Gorillaz film will never happen.

The artist has dismissed rumours that a film will be made based around the Gorillaz characters.

"Of course, when Gorillaz is around and in the public eye we get a lot of people phoning up and wanting to talk about making film," Hewlett told MTV.

He added: "Often it’s a waste of time and a waste of your efforts because you spend months talking to people who don’t really understand what you’re about and they’ve only phoned you up because they’ve heard what you do is pretty cool."

"They don’t really get it and they’re just wasting your time so I tend to not bother. I think the videos are supposed to be our version of a film whereby the videos all led on from one another and every link on the website was part of the storyline."

Meanwhile, Gorillaz have now got a new member thanks to fans.
