Daft Punk Tronic
Posted by: | Comments
As a boy born in the 70s, Tron (1982) was a massive, MASSIVE cinematic event in my early life. It was up there with Star Wars as a visual spectacle that shaped my childhood imagination and indirectly steered me to where I am today – i.e. a graphic designer with an unhealthy obsession for science fiction and bad ass special effects.
I mean come on, there are two words that send a lightening bolt up my spine…
Well, unless you’ve been living in a cave this past year or so, or don’t have any interest in Tron – in which case, what the hell is wrong with you and get off my god damn website!! There is a Tron sequel out this December – 28 years after the original. Oh my bleeding god!!!
Daft Punk are the providers of the film soundtrack and apparantly they are making a brief cameo appearance in the movie – above is a teaser image released by Disney of the French Musique Maestros in their Tronic garb.
If that image alone doesn’t wet your whistle for Tron Legacy, there must be something wrong with you!

This week’s purchases include The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo and [Rec]2
Interestingly, both these movies share something in common. No, I don’t mean a predominately black cover with splashes of red or the fact that they are both 18 movies (very rare nowadays).
Both these movies are in fact European… and therefore prime targets for a US Hollywood remake!! In fact, I think they are currently filming a US remake of The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo and I know there was a remake of [Rec] called Quarantine. Only a matter of time before they rehash this one.
Jaws in Japan

I’m not saying this film is going to be any better but you have to love the poster and homage to the original poster.
Great Poster
Posted by: | CommentsHave to admit, I’m not a big fan of M. Night Shyamalan. I liked the bit in Signs where the alien walks past the back garden gate at the kid’s party and Unbreakable was just about bearable because of a) Bruce b) Sam c) comic books.
And that’s probably about it.
But I’m totally loving this teaser poster for ‘Devil’.
