According to Scarface composer Giorgio Moroder, there's a new Tron game on the way, and he's writing the music with Skillrex...
NewsItalian electronic composer Giorgio Moroder's music was all over the place in the 70s and 80s, from his disco hits like I Feel Love (which he produced for Donna Summer) to his score for Brian De Palma's Scarface.
In a recent interview, Moroder's revealed that he's working on a new Tron game - one as yet unannounced by Disney. The music, he says, could also have the involvement of singer-songwriter-producer Skillrex.
"I'm going to meet Skillrex next week when I'm back," Moroder told Clash Music. "I'm doing music for a game for Disney's Tron. We have about five themes, electronic stuff and let's see if he's interested in remixing or re-working one of the songs."
The last Tron games - Tron: Evolution and Tron: Evolution - Battle Grids - appeared in 2010, and coincided with the release of Disney's Tron: Legacy movie sequel.
Given that a sequel to Tron: Legacy has been talked about for years, it makes sense that the preparations for a game is part of a plan to make a new movie. It would certainly make sense if Moroder's music appeared in both game and film. Series star Bruce Boxleitner said last year that a sequel to Tron: Legacy could be moving ahead in 2015, but Disney have remained quiet about the whole situation.
Moroder's appointment could mean, then, that Tron: Legacy's story will continue in videogame form instead of a movie. We'll just have to wait and see.
