More Daft Punk More Daft Punk

French electro luminaries Daft Punk are set to be the subject of a one-hour TV documentary produced by BBC Worldwide Production France.

The documentary, which is due to air next year, was commissioned by French pay channel Canal Plus, Variety reports -- BBC Worldwide's first for the station -- and announced at non-fiction conference Sunny Side.

It will be directed by Hervé Martin Delpierre, with Marina Rozenman serving as co-writer, and will canvass Daft Punk's ascent from anonymous nobodies to almost anonymous somebodies over the course of about 20 years.

“We are proud to announce our first commission with Canal Plus Group on such an original and creative film,” BBC Worldwide Productions France's Jean Louis Blot said in a statement.

“BBC Worldwide France stands as a major French producer of documentaries with stunning production values and universal appeal.”

Since forming in the 1990s, Daft Punk - which consists of DJs Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo -- have notched up more than 12 million album sales and netted six Grammy Awards. Their most recent release was last year's acclaimed Random Access Memories, featuring the once-ubiquitous singles Get Lucky and Lose Yourself To Dance, both featuring soulful hip-hop darling Pharrell Williams.
