A close second in awesomeness to
Evil Dead 4 is this massively bootlegged footage of the
Tron 2—or, more accurately and stupidly,
Tr2n—teaser trailer, which is a thing of beauty. It really does look like the original flick, with only slightly updated light cycles, but animated with today's technology. The guys in the computer are CG-animated—which is fine, since 1) they are in a computer, and 2) Jeff Bridges isn't necessarily at his physical peak. But speaking of Bridges—what the hell is going on in this trailer? Has he gotten old and turned evil, like so many before him? Is he just a dick, one of those bad winners who cruelly kill his opponents and electronically teabag their corpses, a la
Halo? He's
yellow, for god's sake!
Anything is possible!

Posted 07/28/2008 at 07:39:29 AMI'm usually the first person to poo-poo all over remakes/sequels released years after the original, but even this low-quality footage makes me a happy man indeed.
Posted 07/28/2008 at 08:42:51 AMI love the new, evil Jeff Bridges. First Iron Man, now this! They should remake "The Big Lebowski" and have him be totally evil in it. When Lebowski doesn't give him the rug, the Dude should kidnap Bunny and keep her in the basement of the bowling alley, sending the occasional body part to her husband. "This, the dude cannot abide!" The musical "Gutter Balls" dream sequence would be quite graphic.
