Tron


Disney invested $170million in Torn which was seemed as risky as the original was a box office disappointment taken $33million having cost $17million. To ensure their investment they pulled out all the stops on marketing the film.  Disney designed an exciting line up plan for the movie, some highlights: 3d experience, midnight screening, behind the scene clips, tech gadgets, clothing, toys and more and video game based on the Tron. A new poster was released on December 19, 2009 and banners were released on October 19, 2010 for the second still movie and combining segments from the original Tron poster. The first trailer was released on March 5, 2010 with Alice in wonderland, the second trailer was attached to step up 3D, and another was attached to resident evil and jackass. A new trailer was released on November 9 2010, it was previewed on air on November 5 during episodes of the suit life on deck. It was soon in the Disney theme park as a sneak peak in 3D. The Legacy of the River" that is found in ice hotel in Disney, a high-tech suite inspired by “Tron Legacy”. There was a 23 minute preview screened on IMAX theatres over the world.
The film starts with the main character entering the grid and the film changing from 2D to 3D which shows the audience the computer made world, it shows how it’s changed over 28years. The technology for landscapes had some what changed since 1982 when it was released. Tron was the first film to use computer generated backgrounds and special effects, very basic vector graphics. Clu the character was fully computer generated and was played by Bridges but looks younger this time as feat achieved with motion capture and CGI trickery. The audience was left enthralled, prisoners of the virtual world. It was in cinema on 17 December.
The soundtrack used daft punk for the green screen for the Tron legacy movie.  They get third bill on the trailer after the title and the fact the movies in 3D; also they get their own promo poster. Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Wood and Trent Reznor worked on the social network to help create the mood and understanding menace. Metal band mastodon recorded the music for the DC comics. They use the right artist for the theme of the soundtrack so it fits and sounds good with the movie, but financially doesn’t always follow when a studio hands a entire score to a act, by doing this it would have hit the box office peak. Disney Tron blow the budget $170million. There is no harm going for the synergy music and movie in the case of Tron, which meets sci-fi Sonics.

By using rock power it can take a scintilla in one scene to transform the whole movie. Rock can convey ennui just as effectively like the climax to the graduate. Movie makers and musicians during the 1960s and 70s put a great deal of effort into the soundtrack, even if they had to get an artist to compose the music from scratch. These days artist like to make their soundtracks from scratch as it’s more original. Film music can be compilation of jukebox classic across all genres also cutting edge ambient atmospheric or high-energy electronica. As well as new neo-classical themes or blend of original and off the shelf music which can pull the movie together.
