Get on the Grid to Sochi
The 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics are underway — and The Wall Street Journal reports that in the midst of the elaborate opening — Disney’s TRON provides inspiration for the ceremony. As blogged by Gregory White for the WSJ: “The last element before the torch-lighting is called ‘Olympic Gods’ and takes its theme from the movie TRON, complete with Daft Punk’s ‘The Game Has Changed.’ Rollerstakers with LED-lit costumes swirl around the stadium under giant sculptures symbolizing winter sports and watching over the Games.” We’ve just gotten some pics in from that performance and you can check them out below.
