The band is back at work in 2005, with new musical intentions: after two albums of pure synthpop, Celluloide want to take a way on their own, and include more of their influences in their new songs.
To define this new genre, Celluloide self-labels it self as Bodypop with an upcoming 6 track CD, showing a new face of the band's style: halfway between their usual bleepy electronic tunes with charatetistic cold female vocals and danceable EBM influences.
Due to technical problems, the Bodypop EP announced for 2005 is released in 2006 and helps the band to adjust their new style into a more clearly modern electronic pop, preserving their personality while showing the direction for the new album to come..."Passion & Excitements".

In addition of the 12 new tracks of the new album "Passion & Excitements", is a limited edition of "Bodypop EP", called "Bodypop Clubmixes".

In late 2007, all the covers from the band previously released on several tribute compilation and some unreleased track are completing the 2003 Naphtaline EP, for a CD release in a remastered version.
This brand new Naphtaline LP is now a full length album, with 13 tracks (an exception in Celluloide's discography) and is released in 2008.
