Daft Punk to score Tron 2.0

Wednesday, March 4, 2009
Talk about a match made in heaven. Upcoming Film Scores is reporting that the French electronica duo has been tapped to score the upcoming film starring Olivia Wilde, Garett Hedlund, Beau Garrett and Jeff Bridges (!) reprising his role as super genius Kevin Flynn. It will be directed by Joseph Kosinksi and written by "Lost" screenwriters Eddie Kitsis and Adam Horowitz.

The film is a sequel to the 1982 cult classic (kind of refreshing in these remake/re-imagining crazy times) and will feature Wilde's character battling the Master Control Program. Bridges will play the villain (you can tell because leaked footage show him with a beard ala Iron Man).

Daft Punk have written music for films in the past but this will be their first shot at composing a complete score.

I'm in as long as they find a role for this guy:
