When news outlets caught wind of the fact that Daft Punk will be scoring the sequel to Tron, people didn't flip because the original Tron was such an amazing success, and the sequel's been hotly anticipated. In fact, the original Tron is a wholly campy affair, primarily because of special effects that are weaker than the story line. People cared because it's Daft Punk scoring a mainstream movie (which, God willing, means a chance for Daft Punk to play the Academy Awards). At any rate, some rambunctious fan has gone ahead and made a trailer for Tron, featuring the French robots' "Aerodynamic." The track manages to liven up the pretty lame special effects, which should give you an idea of how great the soundtrack can be if the movie is done right.

I don't know what that "trailer" was more insulting to: Daft Punk or the art of home video editing.
