From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.With Daft Punk's soundtrack album for Tron: Legacy released yesterday, December 7, a music video for their track "Derezzed" was premiered on MTV and can now be watched online.
In a departure from most music videos for soundtrack songs, the footage does not include direct excerpts from the film. Instead it replicates a light cycle race on the grid with a "good guy" in blue and a "bad guy" in orange - as seen in Tron: Legacy.
The video opens with the two French house DJs entering Flynn's arcade and getting transported into the "Derezzed" game and entering the world of Tron. The duo's faces are not revealed, as usual. The song title refers to a digital death when the player of a gladiatorial game loses.
The visuals are reminiscent of elements from the original 1982 Tron, a film that Daft Punk has stated was an influence on the act. The cycles then morph into robotic raptors with jousters. Actress Olivia Wilde ( House, MD) from the film has a surprise cameo.
The sequel, Tron: Legacy, starring Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund and Michael Sheen, follows the son of a game designer who went missing 20 years ago when sucked into his virtual world. The film hits theaters December 17 in 3D.
