Just recently, everyone freaked out when they heard that Daft Punk would be scoring the upcoming sequel to Tron; however, it seems that Thomas Bangalter, one-half of the robot DJ duo, couldn't get his film-scoring kicks soon enough. It's just been announced that Bangalter has provided the score for director Gaspar Noe's new film Enter the Void, in competition at the Cannes Film Festival.

This isn't the first time that Bangalter has worked with Noe; he also provided the soundtrack for 2002's Irreversible, a film so violent and bleak that it could scare sunshine out of a greenhouse. How does the mood of Enter the Void compare? Read the official synopsis below.

"Oscar and his sister Linda are recent arrivals in Tokyo. Oscar's a small time drug dealer, and Linda works as a nightclub stripper. One night, Oscar is caught up in a police bust and shot. As he lies dying, his spirit, faithful to the promise he made his sister that he would never abandon her - refuses to abandon the world of the living. It wanders through the city, his visions growing evermore distorted, evermore nightmarish. Past, present and future merge in a hallucinatory maelstrom."

Yikes.
