The UpcomingFilmScores blog is reporting that French duo Daft Punk has been signed to score TR2N (or whatever it'll be called).
Daft Punk is Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter. THIS detailed Wiki entry will tell you more about the artists and their music. You may've heard some of their work on Kanye West's "Stronger" not too long ago.

Thanks go out to Daniel & Bob's Bitch Tits for calling this to our attention.
