With their techno synth-pop sound and penchant for shiny helmets, Daft Punk felt like the obvious choice to compose the score for 2010's Tron: Legacy. Nine Inch Nails doing the music for Tron: Ares seems like a massive curveball, then, but producers Sean Bailey and Emma Ludbrook insist the rock band are the "perfect fit" for the upcoming sci-fi sequel.
"Daft Punk had set such an extraordinarily high bar, and we really thought and talked a lot about who it might be to do [the music for] this film," Bailey tells GamesRadar+. "We thought that what Trent [Reznor] and Atticus [Ross] do was just such a perfect fit for this Tron, which is a little more industrial, a little more on the Dillinger side of things; a little heavier, a little darker. I think they've created something that's, you know, a wonderful blend of that Tron signature and what Nine Inch Nails do so well."
Starring Greta Lee, Evan Peters, and Jared Leto, Tron: Ares picks up 14 years after the events of its predecessor, with the former's Eve Kim having taken over ENCOM following the resignation of Garrett Hedlund's Sam Flynn. Elsewhere, at family-run rival company Dillinger Systems, gifted coder Julian (Peters) has created his own Grid – and discovered how to print highly sophisticated Programs in the real world.
