ON THE ROAD trailer

Finally appearing from the development limbo it's been in for the last 50 years, we now have our first look at the adaptation of Jack Kerouac's classic Beat Generation novel, On The Road. Based on Kerouac's more-than-semi-autobiographical account of a jazz infused trip across America, this long gestating project has finally come to fruition under the direction of Motorcycle Diaries' Walter Salles.

For a film that stars the unlikely combination of the cinematic Ian Curtis, the girl from Twilight and the guy from Tron Legacy, I'd have to say that the casting looks perfect. Suitably sweaty and sexy in equal measures, for god's sake I hope they get this right. From what we've seen in the trailer it looks promising to say the least.


Will it be the ultimate road movie? No, that's Planes, Trains and Automobiles... but this still looks pretty good.

TRON: LEGACY - The Soundtrack

We may have to wait just over a week to see how Tron: Legacy has turned out (I got to see the 20 minutes of preview footage and was very impressed with the visuals), but we can experience the soundtrack in all its glory now.


The music for the film was created by Daft Punk, who are themselves life long fans of the original Tron and have sneaked a cameo in this sequel. This soundtrack is pretty awesome stuff that meshes well with the electronic world created by Jeff Bridges Kevin Flynn. Here's the video for 'Derezzed' as a taster. See if you can spot Daft Punk.

If you fancy catching yourself a bargain, you can currently download the whole album for just £3.99 from Amazon's MP3 store. It's a limited time offer that runs out this Sunday (12/12/10), so don't hang about on this one folks.

Tron: Legacy Preview

The other night I was lucky enough to get to see 23 minutes of 3D footage from the soon to be released Tron: Legacy. In short, it was glorious. The whole event was part of a preview that Disney had organised across the country, and I was fortunate enough to receive some tickets from Adam at the excellent film site, hopelies.com. If you want to know my feelings on what I got to see from the film, I recommend you head over to hopelies.com to check out my report.
