An amusing YouTube viral for the opera ‘Two Boys‘ that has a poke (pardon the pun) at Facebook and underlines the issues of online life.
Daft Punk’s soundtrack for TRON: Legacy will be officially released on November 22 via Walt Disney Records.
Its release on CD, deluxe CD and digital download heralds that of the film itself: it’s set to open in the UK on Friday 17 December. The largely electronic score – some of which appeared to leak onto the web earlier this year – was composed, performed and produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, with contributions from a 100-strong orchestra recorded at Air Studios in London.
“It’s a new direction for them that they’re really excited about,” said Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski, “And it’s so tied into the film because we developed them both together…”
Disney have just launched an interactive website for the soundtrack over at tronsoundtrack.com, where you can pre-order the digital and deluxe editions of the album. The deluxe edition is comprised of the album on CD and high-quality download, along with an exclusive Daft Punk Tron poster and a bonus download of a new track that’s not on the CD. The pre-order digital edition also boasts the bonus track.

Disney are to remake the 1982 classic, Tron. A difficult one to beat, as the original was years ahead of its time, using a stylish mix of CGI and real actors. It also tapped into an era when computers and video arcade games were becoming commonplace and were a hint of the future technology.
The new version, Tron ‘Legacy’ probably won’t be as ground-breaking, but is guaranteed to be a visual spectacle. Unfortunately, there will be an agonising wait until December this year to see it in 3-D on the big screen.
