Have You Heard Of Daft Punk?? They're Scoring The TRON Sequel..
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.
Daft Punk is known to repeatedly conceal their faces, sometimes performing in robotic masks & even hiding their appearance in interviews (where they might be digitally blurred, etc.) Here's a picture of what they really look like:
UpcomingFilmScores says Daft Punk's involvement with TR2N has been confirmed by Disney.
Here's a a sample of their music:
No word on whether Daft Punk will cannibalize any of Wendy Carlos' work from the original film.

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