TRON Run/r Original Soundtrack to be released on May 31

By: Michael Goldtrap
The TRON Run/r soundtrack, composed by Giorgio Moroder and co-composed by Raney Shockne, is getting a release date of May 31st.
In a statement by Christopher Nicholls, executive producer, he says "TRON spans several decades of really innovative music, whether it's Wendy Carlos in the first film or Daft Punk. So we wanted an artist who could really span those generations in a legitimate way. If you go back to the sound of original electro disco in the '70s, Giorgio is right at the heart of it. He's been pushing electronic music his whole career. We wanted to nod to the first film as well as the later incarnations of the series."

Breaking: Disney Interactive announced the discontinuation of the Disney Infinity



Breaking: Disney Interactive announced the discontinuation of the Disney Infinity toy/game line. In a statement on the official Disney Infinity site, General Manager John Blackburn stated that it was a "difficult decision" and thanked the public for supporting the game. There will be 2 additional play sets; Alice Through the Looking Glass and Finding Dory. 
"By now you may have heard the news that we have made the difficult decision to discontinue production of Disney Infinity. From the beginning, Disney Infinity was built for you—our fans—and I wanted to take a moment to thank you not just for your support over the years, but for creating a community that made Disney Infinity more than just a game.
UOur goal for Disney Infinity was to bring the best of Disney storytelling to life in homes around the world, and with your support we accomplished that. We hope you had as much fun playing the game as we had making it.
So what’s next for Disney Infinity? We have two final retail releases coming, including three new characters from Alice Through the Looking Glass later this month, and the Finding Dory Play Set launching in June.
And as we turn to the next chapter in our story, I want to thank everyone who helped bring Disney Infinity to life, particularly Disney’s Glendale-based production and publishing teams, our external development partners, and of course the incredible Avalanche team for their tireless dedication to this project.
But most of all, I want to again thank you for making Disney Infinity a part of your lives—and for adding to the Disney legacy by being a part of this community."
