Upcoming Film Scores reports the French electronica duo Daft Punk are signed to score Walt Disney’s upcoming sequel to the groundbreaking 1982 animation cult hit. Tron 2.0 will be 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. Joseph Kosinski is set to direct Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde, Jeff Bridges for a 2011 release.

Daft Punk is my favorite electronica band so this is great news. I can’t wait to see what they come up with.

What do you think of Daft Punk doing the Tron 2.0 soundtrack?
