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. 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.

    Big for them, but they loose cult status points.
    Maybe the Tron 2.0/Daft Punk ride at the Disney Park will sweeten my
    taste. The partnership doesn't sound right, but schitt its a new world anything
    can happen.

    With the exception of Terminator 2, sequels to cult hits almost always suck. Who is the director? His only credits include "Tron 2.0" and the remake of "Logan's Run" (both future releases) -- I assume he's probably from the music video realm?

    I will also say this, the Daft Punk soundtrack won't be the worst thing about the movie...

    Ah, wow, he's done Chevy commercials and "Gears of War"? The game is certainly changing...

    Oh, HELL, yes.

    Under normal circumstances, I'd be like "F*ck a remake" and likewise any lazy attempt to resurrect a decades-old idea and turn it into a "franchise", but my first thought upon hearing "Discovery" years back was, this shit sounds like the Tron soundtrack on ecstasy. I cannot wait to hear this.
