Tron 2 trailer

This is almost too good to be true... a Tron 2 (Tr2n) trailer featuring Jeff Bridges was shown a few weeks ago at Comic Con. Someone was able to film it, and although the bootleg has been hosted at a variety of sites, Disney has forced them all to remove it. Thankfully it is still available from RuTube (thanks, Russia) where I found it via the unofficial Tron 2 Trailer Blog.

Tron (1982) was the very first movie to use computer graphics, and it was one of the movies that turned me onto computers as a kid. It has a large cult following that has eagerly wanted to see a sequel for years. It looks like we are finally getting our wish.

Now, the quality of the trailer isn't great, but you can still see the dueling lightcycles and later on Jeff Bridges. Make sure you are sitting down for this. ;-)



Program 1: "It's just a game!"
Program 2: "Not anymore..."

End of line.

  1. WOW, that trailer quality was really lousy... but COOL!!

    It actually looks cool without being too corny. A nice balance of "new look" and old 80s Atari gamer look.

    Not sure I'm happy to see Bridges (gettin' old!), but he's been on a tear lately, so should be good.

    There are no new ideas in Hollywood.
