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.

I would say the score by Daft Punk might be a bad idea. Movies like this should have amazing soundtracks, music makes much of the mood in the movie (ie Star Wars). The test footage was phenomenal and had a great aura about it. If what was seen will be the style of the movie, I don't think the quirkiness of Daft Punk will fit

we'll see

I'm pretty excited about the news. I'm just hoping the movie is better than Electroma.

I'm a bit worried considering second parts usually suck.

Did it really suck that much? I haven't seen it yet, but it seems everyone agrees about it being awful. =/
