74-year-old Jeff Bridges has confirmed he’s going back to the grid with an appearance in the upcoming “TRON: Ares” currently shooting in Canada. Appearing on the Film Comment podcast (via The Playlist), Bridges says: “I’m heading off this Saturday to play a part in the third installment of the ‘Tron’ story. Jared Leto is the […]

      First thing I thought of as well. The Tron Legacy soundtrack is one of my favorite soundtracks of all time. I’ve watched the movie over a dozen times because of it. It’s one of the few soundtracks I listen to as is.

      I’ve been thinking the same. I could see big names like Justice or DeadMau5 being tossed out there if they wanted to maintain the electronic feel and use a big act. It’s gonna be hard to top Daft Punk…

      I also think Skrillex could be on that list of potential Electronic artists.

        Skrillex would be a great choice. He’s way more versatile than just the “dubby wubs” people think of him for.

          Not to mention that he’s basically the whole reason that people mostly listen to electronic music now, or use electronic music as the background music to vocals. He’s one of the biggest producers, and especially after he dipped off making new music for a decade and just basically travelled around doing warehouse shows. He’s honed the electronic music craft for sure. I just don’t know if he can do sound scape music like Daft Punk did. It’s why I threw DeadMau5 out there. He’s done one movie already (possibly more?) and he’s also iconic. I just find the same sound scape wall to be hit.

          Justice is the closest 1:1 of Daft Punk in all of Electronic Music. Skrillex is arguably more versatile musically than Daft Punk and is credited with bringing electronic music main stream. Whether you like it or not those are two absolutely MASSIVE names.

          Unless you hate the last Tron music sound track… which is iconic and one of the best movie sound tracks of all time.

            Justice actually would be a good alternative but jeez talk about a tough act to follow. Yeah that Daft Punk album was fucking flawless.

              There’s for sure something about those fat bass lines and those chord holds that just tickles the back of my brain while I’m listening to it. The album is like a movie within a movie. The opening of “The Grid” is beyond incredible. It sets a tone and it’s perfect.
