Daft Punk is a pretty groovy band and a perfect fit to be scoring Disney’s Tron Legacy, but a soundtrack credit is not going to be their only involvement. Apparently the French duo will also be appearing in the film as well.
the groundbreaking French duo’s responsibilities don’t stop with the music. “They were in the movie,” Wilde says without adding any further details. That’s to be expected, I guess. Big movie and all.
Still, Wilde admits that Disney thinks having the band on board lends a certain credibility to the film (was it lacking in that department?) and that there are already plans to use Daft Punk to help promote the film down the line, closer to TRON’s December 2010 release.
Its very likely they will be very minor characters or sidekicks, but likely will feature in posters or some sort of commercials – in some dayglow blue jumpsuits.
I look forward to seeing how this shapes up!
