There is no doubt that a lot of people are going to watch Tron: Legacy online. For one, it is a sequel of the 1982 cult classic Tron, a film made beyond its time. Second, Kevin Flynn will once again be played by Jeff Bridges, who just picked earlier this year his first and long-awaited Oscar trophy for his role in Crazy Heart. Second, it marks the return of the iconic Light Cycle, which has now become a lot sleeker and way flashier than the original vehicle. The landscapes are now more visually-stunning and the special effects grander given a reported estimated production cost of $200 million. Plus, the Daft Punk has been chosen by Walt Disney Pictures and director Joseph Kosinski and was given total creative control to score the highly-anticipated neon light-fest film. The Grammy-winning French music duo was responsible for dance club hits like Around the World, One More Time, and Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.
Now, Disney has released the first and official full video of Derezzed, a track which you can hear while you watch Tron: Legacy online. Derezzed is a term coined when the player of a game in the virtual universe loses, or, in short, digital death. The video pays homage to the first film with its retro look and old school CGI effects. The fanboys would surely love to see the Light Cycles racing through The Grid. There were no clips featured from any of the scenes from the upcoming sci-fi flick but the first showed a re-imagining of the Flynn’s Arcade scene. Except for Sam Flynn, the Daft Punk was seen being transported to the digital world. And on the last part of the clip, just when DP fans would finally get to see the identities of the duo, when the rider takes off the helmet a digitized Olivia Wilde was revealed. House star Wilde plays the warrior Quorra in the movie.
You listen to the hypnotic beats of the Daft Punk when you watch Tron Legacy online. The film also stars Bruce Boxleitner, Garrett Hedlund, Michael Sheen, and Beau Garrett. The film will be released in both 2D and 3 D on December 17, 2010.
