It\u2019s not an atonal, punishing score, but we spent a lot of time thinking about the undertones of what\u2019s happening in the story. The concept of artificial life infused with feelings and emotions and a sense of questioning their purpose and their replaceability, their lack of soul, in some ways. We kind of riffed on that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The movie stars Jared Leto, Jeff Bridges, Greta Lee and Evan Peters in the follow-up to 2010\u2019s\u00a0<em>Tron: Legacy<\/em>, itself a long-in-the-works sequel to the classic 1982 original film.
