Daft Punk to score Tron Legacy

The word is out. Daft Punk will be composing the official soundtrack for the upcoming Tron Legacy epic. Here is the first officially named track off the OST, Fragile, we like.

Disney has stated the following about Daft Punk and the Tron Legacy soundtrack:

Grammy Award-winning electronic duo Daft Punk — who takes music as seriously as TRON fans take computer references — is scoring the upcoming film TRON: Legacy. It’s no accident that the group’s two visionary musicians, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, are TRON fans too.

Having grown up with an admiration of the ground-breaking TRON film of the 80s, Daft Punk took on the scoring of the next chapter of the story with extraordinary thought and precision. Old and new fans of the music duo don’t have to wait too much longer to hear how these digital musicians interpreted this long-awaited and much-anticipated digital story.

The rest of the tracks (still unnamed) are very cinematic, and a little unexpected from Daft Punk. Check them out on YouTube here:

Plus here’s the latest theatrical trailer for the film which drops on December 17. It will be screened in 3D and IMAX in cinemas worldwide. Hells yeee!
