Daft Punk Scores Tron 2.0

quote:
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 is helmed by Joseph Kosinski and will feature Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde and Beau Garrett. According to industry news reports, 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. The assignment of Daft Punk to score Tron 2.0 has been confirmed to Upcoming Film Scores by Walt Disney Pictures.

OOOoooOoO...also they're scrapping the name "TR2N" because it's stupid, it's still technically Tron 2.0...they could make it T2ON...at least that makes sense in l33t.

Hope they do a good job with it.

I can hear it now....

"I am Man.
I am digital.
I am transcoded in digital.
I am digital man."

As much as I love Daft Punk, I can't see them suiting this film at all. I'm going to reserve my judgement until I've seen it.

they might be too good for the job. they might overdo it and make the music too good to be used as a soundtrack. they will have to hold themselves back from being overly melodic and sampling heavily from 70's funk records.

I need to refamiliarize myself with the stylings of Thomas Bangalter's solo work. So good.

The score of Tron (1) by Wendy Carlos was awesome!

Posted by Seppuku on Mar-07-2009 03:25:

This could be either really awesome or really not. Will definitely be interesting to hear.

I love Daft Punk, I also love the original Tron. For some reason I just wouldn't put Daft Punk on the top of my list for the new soundtrack.

I'm sure what they manage to produce will be brilliant, but whether it works well with the film or not is what I'm reserving my judgement about. Just have to wait until I see it.
