So there was a Comic-Con related party last night for “Tron Legacy,” at a place called Flynn’s Arcade, but apparently there was a big secret in store for Con-goers, which was an early sneak-peak at light cycles and whatnot from the new “Tron” movie.
Can’t say the Playlist EIC cares much for “Tron” frankly (other members clearly disagree, but then again, they’re not writing this are they…), but more of interest it what appears and sounds like the new Daft Punk score written for the film. Throbbing, snakey electronic score? Sure sounds like it. Take a listen, but wait until around the :25 second mark when it finally starts to kick in (the second clip has the same track pretty much right from the beginning). If you want to know more about the event, First Showing seem to have a fairly comprehensive recap. Thanks to the reader for the tip about the music.
Update: here’s the “Tron Legacy” teaser trailer. The visuals are admittedly excellent, near-stunning at some moments. But will there be an actual story? As one of our contribs says, “the original ‘Tron’ is far more boring than most nerds are willing to admit.” 100% true. You tried watching that thing now? It’s like playing the original 2-bit Pong.
