Video: TRON: LEGACY - NEW LIGHTCYCLE REVEAL

"What should I be for Halloween? I'm thinking daft punk.. but give me your ideas!!" - Jon Asher Daft Punk likes to play dress up. The Euro electronica duo is basically never seen in public without spaceman helmets clamped to their heads. It's a look that would not be out of place in a sci-fi flick like, say, "Tron Legacy," Disney's mega-budget remake of the 1982 original about artificial intelligence, a computer-generated world and Jeff Bridges in a skin-tight neon suit.

Either way, the music that played underneath the reveal of the forthcoming sequel's lightcycles is right behind the MORE link. Try to not get any nerdgasm on the furniture, OK?
