I think the most exciting footage I saw at comic con last week (besides the Heroes premier) was the teaser for TR2N, the much anticipated sequel to Tron.

It's online here in bootleg form, tough to see, but you get the idea. http://gizmodo.com/5029479/tron-2-trailer-...s-wet-worldwide


A few things have this project headed in the right direction. Jeff Bridges, without Flynn, the movie wouldn't work IMO. Pixar involvement. Tron was the first CGI movie, I think for the sequel to work, it needs to be a next gen. computer animated flick with some live action, like the first. From the footage we saw, that's exactly where they are headed (young Flynn, cgi to make Bridges young again in the computer world....unreal!). Pixar tends to do things right, so I hope that's the case here.

Tron was a movie that made me love games and computers at a young age, it tied the two together better than any other film (yes, better than the Last Starfighter). I look forward to a new one, and hope it can do justice to the monumental first film.

Kickass. Looks pretty sweet! I love the audience's reaction to seeing Bridges onscreen. Very cool.

[ShakestheClown]

Oh hell yes!

[lawtoned]

Didn't know this was happening. Awesome. My favorite movie when I was a kid.

[Mr. Beermug]

Awesome!!

I bet this guy (and his man-camel-toe) is stoked:

I can't describe how big of an erection I have for this movie. I fell in love with Tron the first time I watched it on my parent's BetaMax. Similar to Damon, I loved video games and arcades and Tron delivered all around. I can't wait for this to come out.

Its kind of funny too b/c Bridges looks a little like The Dude in the trailer. I hope I can watch TR2N without thinking about bowling and caucasians.

Yeah, he had a very scruffy but buddhist like appearance. Meditating while his virtual self is riding the light cycle.


The reaction from the crowd while it showed was awesome. When it came up there was silence and collective holy fucking shit gasps. Then bridges hit and everyone wanted to bust out of their seats, but didn't so they could hear what was said. The CG bike footage was awesome, and looked exactly as it should now without "redoing" the first movies look. Then the last shot of Bridges looking young in the Tron world...perfect.

[Mr. Beermug]

Btw, I meant to mention outside of my whore post that this trailer looks sensational and the movie is going to crack some serious skulls.

[Lynndog]

Oh yes. Yes. I fucking love Tron. I hope this doesn't disappoint. I have high hopes.

the whole "2 for an O" thing is really annoying. i read it as "Tur-two-n"

edit= apparently somebody has already made a comic about this.

Another site with a more blown up and centered version of the trailer. It has better sound too.

I meh your meh. :lol:


To add to the kickassery of the Tron world, Tron 2 is being done entirely in 3d (real D).

Quote

Tron 2.0 is going to be shot ENTIRELY in 3-D. They are really excited about what they are going to be doing with the Tron world in 3-D.

With new technology, they can actually wear the glasses at the monitors as they shoot & it will show them exactly how the 3-D will look so that they can get exactly what they are looking for.

If there has ever been a world that 3-D would totally embrace, I think it would be the world of Tron. Specifically, we are going to get a first person view from inside of a light cycle in the film. That should be a lot of fun.

They also cast Olivia Wilde (from Touristas) as a "a worker in the virtual world who tries to help fight Master Control Program, the villainous intelligence protocol that was the nemesis in the original film." Another actor from Touristas, Beau Garrett, was cast. The only other confirmed actor so far is of course, The Dude, Mr. Jeff Bridges.

Release is 2011.

She was also the ripper hot lesbian that made out with Mischa Barton on the OC.


And this movie will be awesome.

[CushionConvector]

I'm thinking it will be a flop.

For the box office, the fans, or both? Marketing can achieve the former for any piece of shit, really.

Uh, you're a flop... :hmm:

Don't be rainin' on my parade, yo. :biggrin: Actually, I guess I don't care if it's successful, I just want to get in touch with my inner child...wait, that expression sounds a little creepy--touching, children...

Never mind, it's gonna be flop. :uhoh:

[CushionConvector]

All I'm saying is I'm not gonna get my hopes up.

[LoungeFunk]

I'm ready for a proper trailer to watch. This film is going to kick so much ass.
