Online reports are suggesting that Daft Punk are well on their way to completing the soundtrack to the forthcoming Tron Legacy movie.
Back in March we reported that Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo had been signed to write and produce the film’s soundtrack, but nothing else had surfaced about the project until last week’s Comic-Con event in San Diego. Coming Soon are reporting that a panel discussion about the movie was held, during which it was revealed that the duo had already recorded 24 tracks for the soundtrack.
