Goddamn. Goddamn. This actually makes me happier than the Iron Man 2 trailer, and no, I don't think I can explain. Admittedly, I think the trailer could have been two minutes of Jeff Bridges flipping me the bird, but as long as he held a disc or a lightcycle zoomed by in the background, I would have been delighted. But this? This is so much better. The kid seems fine, the computer world seems familiar and perfectly Tron-like while about 44x more awesome, Jeff Bridges, Bruce Boxleitner, Olivia Wilde, the fucking gun... oh, I may need to lie down for a little while.

I'm sure every old nerd, geek, and gamer just came collectively. And if the younger crowds know whats good for them they've just done the same thing. Beyond that there's no actual words to say besides after 30 years i can wait nine months....
-
1:42 Is it my imagination but is that guy "rocking out" with a cane, Jared Leto? God I hope I'm wrong because he ruins every movie he has a speaking role in.
-
After that game years ago, rumors floating around forever, and even all the legitimate news lately, it just dawned on me. There is an actual TRON sequel coming out. With Flynn, no less. Its real. Bizzare and amazing. Geeks win.

I'm referring to the spoof music video, not the movie. The former not only featured superior casting, but clarinets. You should have been briefed on this already. http://www.toplessrobot.com/2009/08/the_ballad_of_gi_joe_will_break_your_heart.php

Until now I had no idea they'd gotten Bruce Boxleitner to join the cast. I'm now officially sold! This is awesome on so many levels. I rewatched Tron a few months ago and was a tad disappointed. It's not just that it hasn't aged well, the performances were rather weak. Bridges still hadn't come into his own. But he's at the top of his game now and this movie looks like 1,000 lbs of awesome!

No one's going to top GalvaTRION's comment at the top, as he just might be onto something there. This trailer was so promising, I'd actually go see this movie INSTEAD of Iron Man 2, if given the choice... so in that sense, Galva, it's more like Vida Guerra rocking MY cock all night... and then in the morning she has to go to work but leaves me alone with her more attractive 19-year-old sister. Who is a virgin. And bi-curious. For the first time in the history of the internet, the following words will appear: ... Bruce Boxleitner, FTW.

given how long its taken for a sequal to tron to finaly get made if the rest of the film is like the trailer it was worth the long wait. and Jeff Bridges back as the master controller never thought i would see Disney ever revist tron again

Sienna Miller played the Barones in GI Joe: ROC, not Olivia Wilde.
-
So how much of the movie, in fact, features albino David Bowie playing air-guitar while Hans Zimmer plays Taiko drums on my skull? (I just want to plan my day) And...that was Olivia Wilde as not-Cortana? Jeez, this, after the Baroness...is she going to play Princess Daphne next?

oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god

depends on what DP does with the soundtrack. If it's like their album stuff, then yes: it may suck. If it's like their live shows - or better yet, an actual movie score, like this trailer - then it could be righteous. I just hope it doesn't end up like what some commenter elsewhere said: "hot teenager saves his dad by playing video-gladiator." I hope there's more to the story than that. In the first one, the games were just because the MCP needed some AI for a gaming program, and thought it would be a convenient way to eliminate an intruder. Here, I'm not so sure.

Nerdgasm aside, it's really good tasted sci-fi, made with elements from our times. It excels in so many aspects, that even the bunch of mongoloids who think they've got it all in Matrix just won't figure what's going on in Tron - which is not about wearing expensive clothes and sunglasses at night.
-
RE: less neon on the suits That was addressed in a Q/A with the filmmakers in LA. They're using REAL light emitting fabric instead of film-tricks (unlike the first one). I think as busy as the sets look, a bit of understatement doesn't hurt - in the first movie - the sets were hyper minimalist / sparse - so the only detail in-frame were the suits (pretty-much). Now it looks like the other way around.
-
You know, I just kinda thought that the original Tron was just ok. It had great potential that it just didn't live up to. However, that might be the reason I'm getting excited for this, because this sequel looks like it could live up to everything the first one could have been...
-
Ok, Yeah... I guess I'm seeing another 3D movie in December, 2010.
-
Where the Hell is Wendy Carlos and her freaking awesome Moog?? It's just not TRON without Wendy and Journey.
-
Your name is teknopunk and yet you don't like Daft Punk?!?
-
"I'll be in my bunk."
-
Can someone explain whats the appeal of this...and for that matter the appeal of the original? I respect the fact it changed special effects technology, but beyond that it was pretty bad.
-
I forgot about the daft punk connection, that is a total buzz kill for me.
-
So, now imagine this in 3D, with a Daft Punk soundtrack (was that them in the trailer?). Done now? Shall I get you a kleenex or a towel or something?
-
so by "lie down for a little while" do you mean "masturbate to completion"?
-
Joy-gasm!
-
seen this damn thing about a hundred times now and i am still fucking excited to see it. is the sequel necessary? probably not, but it still looks like it will be a stunning edition to the Tron saga if you would call it as such. i'm all for it and can't wait till the end of this year to see it!
-
Wow! Just...wow! That looks really good. Disney I am impressed. Definitely one to catch on Imax. (or in my case wait for the Bluray as I don't have an Imax nearby.)
-
YOU don't look right.
-
I really don't know about this... I liked the first one, but I really didn't think a sequel would be necessary.
-
The Dude abides.
-
Hrm. I can't quite place it, but somehow this doesn't look right...
-
Here here!
-
She grinds the damn beans herself, man. Whole cream. In a coffee cup with the Batman logo on it. She is wearing an apron that says "Kiss the Kook", and nothing else. We then settle in and watch some Godzilla movies. Tron Legacy in a nutshell.
-
Last Sunday, America realized something us nerds figured out a long time ago: Jeff Bridges is awesome.
-
Goddamn you Rob, I keep hassling you with all the news about the viral binary code shit that led up to the release of the trailer and shamelessly plugging my Tron Legacy blog, and now that I've got a newborn daughter and don't have time to post anything you FINALLY do something Tron related. Go forth and multiply, as they say round my way. But hell's teeth does this trailer look amazing - dark and totally authentic, too. Can't. Fucking. Wait.
-
Whoa. To coin a phrase. Addendum: Disney can now officially promote this movie as featuring "Academy Award Winner Jeff Bridges".
-
So where does this put TRON 2: The Game from a few years ago? Bruce Boxlietner and his son fought the data corruption in the system and the evil corporation trying to subvert it. Has none of that happened? Can anyone explain? Have I gone mad? Has my TRON boner diverted too much blood from my brain?
-
That may be the best comment ever.
-
Good thing I go to work wearing a condom b/c I just jizzed in my pants... clean up is a synch!
-
Tell me that she brews a pot of awesome coffee, too.
-
This, this I can not wait for. My mind may explode with anticipation.
-
Wait, so is Flynn the new MCP? Why's he wearing red? The suits don't seem to have as much circuitry in them though.
-
Iron Man 2. And then... this. That's like... Vida Guerra rocking your cock all night, and then she gets up and makes you the best godamn waffles, eggs, and bacon you've ever tasted in your entire life. Or at least that's what I imagine it to be like. I think I just shed a tear. DECEMBER!? AWWW!!!
