Man, when you actually hear this chunk of news, chances are you’ll nod your head in agreement, convinced that you’ve already heard it somewhere, but no.  You heard it here, folks–there’s going to be a special appearance in Tron: Legacy by vaguely electronica group Daft Punk.

No, seriously.  Daft Punk.  You know, that club band everyone was listening to back in the late nineties, early two thousands or so?  They’re not just appearing in it, either, they’re also scoring it.

Just for reference’s sake, I’ve attached a video directly below courtesy of YouTube to give you a better idea who these guys are and why it’s actually terribly appropriate that they show up in a movie like Tron.  Like I said, this is actually a pretty good idea; so much so that you’d almost be convinced you heard it already, it’s just that rational a fit.

Tron: Legacy hits theaters this Christmas where it will likely pound holy hell out of its competition.

A Christmas Carol is taking shape nicely.  I am impressed with the second trailer offering more information about the film and insight into the making of the film. The animation looks awesome with even more detailed work in the background.

tron legacyWell, it’s official, folks–Tron Legacy has a release date and that release date is December 17, 2010.

Its upcoming competition?  You’re going to love this–it’ll be taking on Yogi Bear, The Smurfs and The Green Hornet, which means it’s almost certain to be the top movie of that weekend if for nothing else than it’s based on the most recent source material?  Or was it the Smurfs that’s most recent?  Well, anyway, they’re both almost thirty years old at least, so chances are the adventures of Kevin Flynn’s son Seth will not be the overlooked one at the box office next Christmas.

I don’t hold out anywhere near so much hope for the Smurfs, however.  Or for Yogi…or for the Green Hornet for that matter.  But either way, I know which one of the four I’m actually hoping to see, and if my opinion is shared by any decent number of people, it’s gonna be a bloodbath.

Bob Anderson, who played young George Bailey in “It’s a Wonderful Life,” passed away today.   “It’s a Wonderful Life” is a classic Christmas movie that friends and family love to mention or pop in the DVD player when the holiday arrives.

Bob Anderson went on working behind the camera, mainly,  assistant director or production manager.
