They were speaking with them about potentially scoring Legacy and the challenges that they faced, not the least of which would be scoring a film which they had never done before, and certainly not one of this size or kind, and also working with an orchestra which they had never done before. Some people I had worked with on multiple occasions know Thomas (Bangalter) and Guy-Manuel (de Homem-Cristo). Joseph Trapanese: I was really lucky, or how should I put it…it was really serendipitous. For starters, I’d like to know how you got involved with TRON: LEGACY. ScoreKeeper: I’d like to thank you for taking the time to talk with me today. There’s a lot of mystery and conjecture surrounding this score. Daft Punk routinely declines interviews (believe me, I tried) so I opted to talk with Joseph Trapanese who worked intimately with them for two years. It was difficult sorting through what was fact and what was fiction. The problem was, there were a lot of rumors floating around out there. Not long after viewing the movie, I wanted to know more about the score and how it was created. The score ended up being my favorite of 2010 (read my review here). Finally, the angel on my other shoulder told me to just shut up and enjoy it.

I was in awe of it, yet I could hear the devil on my shoulder coming up with excuses to justify hating it.

When I finally experienced the movie for the first time, I was pretty taken aback. Was this the right choice? I dismissed their selection as just another paltry scheme pandering to popularity. I longed recognized them as great musicians, but were they great filmmakers? Film composing has more to do with the art of filmmaking than it does music-making.

What few positive spikes piquing my interest were completely eroded away when it was announced that Daft Punk was composing the score. I’m a fanatic of the original TRON (1982) and every direction Legacy was heading communicated to me that this was nothing more than a blatant cash-grab cannibalizing another beloved franchise from my youth. Nobody who writes publicly about film or music (or both) wants to admit having made up their mind to not like something before experiencing it however, that’s pretty much where I was with TRON: Legacy. Watching this film for the first time back in 2010 was an incredible learning experience for me. My final “lost” interview is with Joseph Trapanese who collaborated with Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Cristo (better know as Daft Punk) for two years helping them bring their score for TRON: Legacy(2010) to the big screen.
