Daft Punk fans are about to get lucky: BBC Worldwide is producing a documentary about the elusive dance-music duo, set to air in 2015.

The film, commissioned by the French pay TV channel Canal Plus, promises to finally shine a light on Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, the electronic DJs who rarely remove their robot masks in public.

The French band has sold 12 million albums worldwide in their two-decade career and won six Grammy Awards in the process.

Daft Punk is responsible for four critically-acclaimed studio albums, including 2014’s “Random Access Memories,” which won them a Grammy for Album of the Year and spawned the megahit single “Get Lucky.” But according to producer Patrice Gellé, this would be the band’s first ever “independent movie.
