I gotta admit, even though I was interested about TRON:Legacy for nostalgia's sake and my interest in Disney movies, 70% of my interest and hype for it was due to Daft Punk's invovelment (you can obviously tell I'm a hardcore fan). Like, how could they possibly top the best night of my life (Alive 2007)? I mean, I even bought the collector's edition of TRON:Evolution and have been keen on any news regarding a sequel or post-promotional content (when's that tour gonna happen?).

On a sidenote, yeah the OST was over-hyped to heck and it definetely was blown outta proportions but it compliments the movie well (not to mention the remix album kinda makes up for it). I always wondered how Derezzed would showcase in it prior to watching the movie and boy oh boy did I headbang like a concert attendee when it came up. Epic moment. The theater's soundsystem made it all the more sweeter.

Mind you, I'm not the "Daft Punk made the movie was it is" kinda fan. But as I stated I was significantly hyped due to their involvement.

Your title is a statement, yet you put a question mark at the end.

Strange, I'm watching Tron: Legacy right now. I found out that daft punk did the music for it the day i went to go see it. I haven't even seen the first Tron as well.

Unfortunately, the movie was just okay, the 3D was limited, and the music was scored pretty much on only 3 occassions, and they just used pieces of the extended score in other spots in the movie. So, essentially, Daft Punk made 15 minutes of music that got used for about 75 minutes worth of sound. The best part of that movie was Olivia Wilde's leather suit.

I'm asking OT if their hype for the movie stemmed from Daft Punk significantly. You can't deny it was a huge Marketing boost for the film.

It was a major reason I saw the film. I wasn't expecting much from the film itself.

Who is Daft Punk? I really liked the movie anyway; for the story, visuals, 3D and the music was good too. My hype was based on the first movie.

No most people I know wanted to see the movie for the movie's sake.
