1st Look at Daft Punk's cameo in Tron Legacy; Tron Night ticket details

We've got the first photo of French electronica duo, Daft Punk, as they'll appear in Disney's Tron Legacy coming up on December 17th. This is the kick off to Tron Tuesdays in which new on the sci-fi sequel will be released every single Tuesday for the next 10 weeks. Included is 90 seconds of "The Game Has Changed", a new track the duo produced for the film. Not exactly my cup of tea but I can imagine it sounding prettty sick during the movie itself. You can check out the track at the bottom of the page.



Today also marked the first day fans will be able to get tickets for Tron Night. On October 28th, Disney will be presenting 20 never before seen minutes of footage from Tron Legacy in select IMAX 3-D theaters worldwide. You can click here for further details and to check ticket availability. Tickets are on a first come, first served basis.  Yes, this is the same marketing strategy we saw with Avatar last year, and you saw how well that worked out. If Disney snags even a fraction of the Avatar audience they'll be so happy Mickey might crap his little red trousers.

Unfortunately for those of us in the Washington DC area the tickets are already sold out. They were gone within a few minutes, too quick even for me. Pretty stupid to have only one theater(Tysons Corner? Really??) available but oh well.
