Rumours were circulating at this time that the Gorillaz team were busy preparing a film , but Hewlett said that the film project had been abandoned : " We lost all interest in doing it as soon as we started meeting with studios and talking to these Hollywood executive types , we just were n't on the same page . We said , fuck it , we 'll sit on the idea until we can do it ourselves , and maybe even raise the money ourselves . " The album '' Demon Days '' was released on 11 May 2005 . The album debuted at No . 1 on the UK Albums Chart . The third single was " Dirty Harry " , which had been released as a promotional single earlier that year . It was released in the United Kingdom on 21 November . The fourth and final single was the double A-side , " Kids with Guns " / " El Mañana " . It was released in the UK on 10 April 2006 . In December 2005 , '' Demon Days '' had sold over a million copies in the UK , making it the UK 's fifth best selling album of 2005 . '' Demon Days '' has since gone six times platinum in the UK , double platinum in the United States , triple platinum in Australia and has sold over 8 million copies worldwide .
