We’re fans of all things music and movies here at Splendid, so when those two worlds collided back in March with the oh-so-perfect news that Daft Punk (http://www.myspace.com/daftpunk) had signed on to soundtrack Disney’s Tron ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084827/) sequel, we were very excited indeed.

For those in the dark (i.e. without bits of blue glowing piping stuck all over them), the sequel was announced last year with footage of a digitally rejuvenated Jeff Bridges returning as the original film’s hero Kevin Flynn. Daft Punk were subsequently announced as composers of the score and the blogosphere promptly exploded in a massive fit of geek. Disney FTW indeed.

Now news reaches us from this weekend’s Comic-Con (http://www.comic-con.org) in San Diego where the newly named Tron Legacy’s director Joseph Kosinski revealed that “…there would definitely be Daft Punk Tron-themed events on the horizon.” The film is two years away from release so this declaration should be taken with a pinch of salt, but were the mooted tour (which would only be the duo’s third in 14 years) to go ahead, Splendid may have to add a new section to the website next to ‘Splendid Loves’ entitled ‘Splendid would sell it’s granny to go to this’!
