Tron Legacy + Daft Punk = Awesome!

tron daft punk

French electronica duo Daft Punk has been signed to write the original music score for Tron 2.0, Walt Disney’s upcoming sequel to the groundbreaking 1982 animation cult hit which was scored by electronic music icon Wendy Carlos. Daft Punk’s members Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter have been involved in various films before, but Tron 2.0 will be their first complete feature film score. The film, scheduled for a 2011 release, is helmed by Joseph Kosinski and will feature Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde and Beau Garrett.

Check out the trailet! It says 2o1o, but like I just mentioned…it’s set for release in 2011. Enjoy!

And for those of you old school Tron fans, you can still find some of the toys online. You can also find the 20th Anniversary Collector’s Edition on DVD. I need to watch it all over again, seeing as I have forgotten a lot of the plot. I think I’ve got a bit of time to catch up. LOL

Tron 2.0 will play as the “next chapter” after the first film, with Wilde starring as one of the heroes trying to help fighting the Master Control Program, the evil intelligence protocol that was the nemesis in the 1982 film.
