Daft Punk Unchained will be released in the UK courtesy of the BBC, and will feature a string of stars. Collaborators, Nile Rogers and Pharrell Williams will ponder the impact the inigmatic band have had on electronic music.

Both artists' appeared on the phenominally successful Random Access Memories. 'Get Lucky', featuring Williams and Rogers, was one of the biggest hits of 2013, and reached the in 10 in 32 counrties.

A host of other well known names, like Giorgio Moroder, Michael Gondry and Pete Tong, are also expected to to make an appearence in the film.

The trailer for the feature is unsuprisingly epic, and features Kanye West considering the bands status in the pop canon: “Who revolutionized dance music the most? I think you’d say, ‘Daft Punk’.”

The documentary was directed by Hervé Martin Delpierre, and we can hope for an insight into Daft Punk's world. The trailer teases with an scene in which one of the band appear to be removing their famous head wear.

They may be 'Unchained', but unmasked?
