At this point, I think I’m as excited for Daft Punk’s Tron: Legacy score as I am for Tron: Legacy. From what I’ve read (in an Empire feature that, frustratingly, doesn’t seem to be online), Daft Punk’s score has been heavily integrated with the film from like the preproduction stage—a pretty rare occurrence that I’m insanely curious to see the results of.

(I’m also curious to see if Disney and first-time director Joseph Kosinski—who, until now, has pretty much been known only for his great ad for Gears of War—can turn 1982’s snooze-tastic Tron into something that’s halfway interesting aside from its stunning production design. But hey, at least they’re getting some good help, and if nothing else, Legacy promises to be gorgeous to look at.)

ANYWAY: Daft Punk’s video/trailer/ad (do these distinctions even matter anymore?) for “Derezzed” from Tron: Legacy is below! I recommend accompanying it with drugs. Also, I don’t care if that’s real David Bowie or not. That dude should introduce every trailer.

With honor and distinction, Erik Henriksen served as the executive editor of the Portland Mercury from 2004 to 2020. He can now be found at henriksenactual.com.

  1. I feel a strong urge to watch that movie whilst shoving fistfuls of pills into my mouth. Of course, I get the same urge for PTA meetings.
