It was perhaps always Daft Punk's destiny to soundtrack Tron: Legacy, but Thomas Bangalter's latest film project could hardly be more different.

The robotic-headed producer has provided music for First Point, a short film by Richard Phillips that stars Lindsay Lohan as a surfer. The five-minute movie premieres this month at Switzerland's Art Basel fair.

The trailer features Lohan walking on a beach in a variety of swimsuits as Bangalter's soundtrack drones ominously along.

Phillips told ABC News: "This tackles a different part of who she is and how she projects herself. It's not fashion photography, it's not mainstream film." The paparazzi featured chasing Lohan around the beach are, apparently, real, and Bangalter's soundtrack is intended to give the piece suspense and surrealism. "It's difficult to believe whether or not they're actors. That was her way of showing us what that dimension is like."

Daft Punk, however, are reportedly working on a more conventional project – their first studio album since 2005's Human After All.
