More Tron. C’est bon. Needs more Jeff Bridges.

I am very much looking forward to this, so finger crossed that they have treated the Tron world with respect.
And a soundtrack by Nine Inch Nails to boot!

Oooooooooooh that's harsh. NIN have a LOT to live up to, as Legacy's soundtrack is easily one of the greatest movie soundtracks of all time IMHO! But if the trailer is anything to go by, we might be good

Looking forward to this, and will absolutely be watching this at the cinema. Some trepidation though - Jared Leto is one of the biggest ifs. Will hold judgement until I've seen it!

It's OK, but not a "great" OST IMHO.

 

Different topic: Where's Olivia Wilde?

Well it's Reznor and Ross under the name NIN.... So composer wise, its the people behind The Social Network, Soul, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Bird Box, Patriots Day, Challengers, Empire of Light, Gone Girl. I like that they're moving to a more industrial harder sound as they enter the real world from the grid.

Though I agree, the trailer looked really good (and I'm not a huge fan of the first film, and the second film is a brilliant album with a movie attached as far as I'm concerned) and then of course, you see Leto and you think "Urgghhh... I hope this is Blade Runner/Dallas Buyers Club/Requiem for a Dream Leto and not DCEU/Morbius/House of Gucci Leto!"

She's moved into directing.

She's acted more recently than directed, though has more upcoming directing gigs.

You may well be on your LeOwn there mate

 

It's a bomping sountrack.  That and the Dark Knight - I can wack the volume up and listen to all day till plasterboard dust starts falling

I totally agree, sometimes he can be great, and other times totally off-putting. Hopefully he's a fan and will get behind it totally.

Nah. To me, soundtracks aren't just about having banging tracks - they should transport you into the film. I'd rate almost anything by John Barry, but especially Somewhere in Time and Dances With Wolves, John Williams (Star Wars, Superman, Raiders) or Hans Zimmer (Inception, Gladiator) and certain scores from other composers well above Tron: Legacy. Heck, I'd rather listen to Andrew Powell's much maligned score for Ladyhawke before Daft Punk. I'm in a very small minority with the latter, though. Mind you, it did used to get used a lot during ice dancing performances back when that was more in the public eye.

No need to sell me on NiN - introduced to them mid 90's thanks to Quake  

Still, there's only 2 ways to know if this film will be good.

1. Go and see it and think "Yes, that was good"

2. Wait for the Guardian to review it. If they give it 1 star and call it utter tripe, it will be the best thing since sliced bread.

I'm very tempted to go and see what they have said about the Minecraft Movie now. My son went to see it last night and to say he was unimpressed would be an understatement.

1/5 from The Guardian.
But then again, they gave Chernobyl a 3/5 so expect the same level of review consistency that the Grauniad gives to sub-editing. 🤣
