http://www.movieweb.com/movie/...Would Disney keep banning it to build hype?It's pretty ridiculous, but so freakishly well done.

Now, when I say "pretty fucking awesome" you need to take that with a grain of salt, as I'm far too Tron-obsessed to be objective in any way, shape or form. I will say the effects are excellent, the lighting and set design is ludicrously accurate to Tron: Legacy, and the core concept -- which I shan't spoil -- is one that I fully expect Disney to explode in the actual Tron 3 movie, to at least some degree. However, I think we can all agree that the real Tron 3 would probably not star total unknowns, and Disney probably has enough Tron projects going on already that it's more like this is a fan trailer, and not some new official Tron thing.
That said, if you think I'm not still masturbating furiously to what happens at 4:33, you are wrong. So, so wrong. Infinite thanks to Alice R. for the tip.

Also, people keep saying this is fan-made. As a film student who's seen plenty of fan-made stuff I will tell you that the actors were chosen for their amateur style, but the shot compositions, lighting, steady-cam shots and special effects lead me to believe it was professionally produced. There are always tell-tale markers of fan-made films (even the very good ones): poor editing, unbalanced lighting, no camera movement (still shots are much, much easier than tracking shots such as the one at the back of the lecture hall), and cheap looking props.
The attention to detail in this vid is phenomenal. It tried to look amateur, but it's real. It's a viral video that will be completely ignored by the studio/director/producers, but lays groundwork for expectations for the next Tron film.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to Tronsturbate again.
I'm afraid your wrong about it being a viral video and not fan made. You say if it were a viral video it would be ignored by the studio. Since it keeps getting pulled and the user in question keeps getting banned for copyright infringement. It is definitely a fan made video, if it were viral the studio wouldn't do that to their own stuff.
Quick question...though a few have said that they love David Warner and that more of him is never a bad thing (I agree)...do we really believe at 70 that he'd be in another Tron movie?
I'm laughing too loudly at the "Do you know how much trouble you're in?" line of dialogue now that the original guy has had his account frozen, disabled on YouTube by Disney et al. I feel bad kicking a nerd when he's down, especially after doing something like this trailer, but I can't get past the irony.
Tron Legacy and Tron Destiny? So I guess the first one's title is gonna be retconned as Tron Saga? </semiobscurejoke>
Ok the video is gone - the whole account in fact, due to infringement notices from Disney, WB and some guy named David Lewandowski - who a quick Google reveals was the lead graphics animator for Legacy.
Not saying this leads any credence to it being more than a fan-made thing, but does Disney usually go scorched earth on fan projects like this?
The video that was copyrighted by Lewandowski was the "making of" the TRON: Legacy opening title, it was takes off his site...
Actually, pretty sure Disney is know for being militant about taking down even fan works. Mostly for obscene ones, but I'm sure they're happy to take down anything with their characters if they even think it remotely affects them
Anybody have a linkie to the vid? Down it is. Aggravated I am. To see it I must!!! Halp!!!
Gone already. You think Disney would, I don't know, want free advertising since there's no way this can compete with an officially sanctioned movie... *shrug*
Skimmed comments and couldn't see if anyone has pointed out that youtube changed the embed function. Go to share > embed. Of course, the user probably had embedding turned off when they upped it, so likely this post is moot.
Curses! Removed already do to copyright infringement! Actually looks like that user's whole account got skragged. Sucks to be him/her.
That was bad ass when Saark showed up! That alone made watching this trailer.. fake or not worth it!
Definitely fan made. Worse than that, Canadian fan made.Personally, I really don't care if they bring back Sark or the MPC (though more David Warner is never a bad thing). I'd just like more Tron in my Tron.
What's with the Canada hate?Regardless of where it's made, I'd say it's pretty well done, though a bit lacking in some parts.
It's a simple nit-pick, but... why is the guard peering around with a flashlight in brightly lit hallways? =P
Because Tron is stupid and overrated....Seriously, why are so many in the geek community on this franchise's dick?
Because when people were kids they were like, oooooooooh shiny and knew nothing about computers or how bad the plot was. Now they are growed up and there's lots of nostalgia. Kinda like gi joe or transformers
I don't know about jedicreeper ken_shiro, but I thought skeletors_nads was being a troll and not you.
how is me using my actual log in and stating a carefully crafted opinion being a troll? Tron does not hold up well to rewatching, that is all.
You know, you're putting words together. And they all seem to be English words as far as I can tell. But absolutely nothing you're writing makes sense.
Also go fuck yourself.
Hmmm, hate the guy, like the girl, and LOVE the ending! How this might play out with Cillian Murphy as Dillinger Jr. I'm not sure though.
Alrighty just changed into a fresh pair of underpants....This definitely isn't an official teaser for tron 3 as it hasnt even been greenlit yet, but the production values seem to be quite high for a a fan made project, if it is they had a lot of money and time on their hands. I think it could possibly be some sort of test footage type project done by Joseph Kosinski and crew to outline what tron 3's concept could be similarily to the Tron Legacy Concept trailer which they released at Comic Con in 2008.
I really hope Disney explodes it. I love explosions. :3On another note: Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay Tronsturbation.
What a terrible, reckless disregard for safety. They weren't even wearing helmets on that thing!
I need to change my pants now. That was frelling awesome. Now if this is fake....I have a handmade Tron suit, will travel,and I can act. Also I have lots of free time.If this is real....HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!
If you ask me, Tron 3 will be about Quorra getting sick or pregnant, and needing to return to the grid.
this would make a good story. have 2 nobodies find a way to bring the MCP to the real world while Sam and Quorra are doin there thing not knowing whats goin on. light cycles in the real world would be cool. no grid to stop the MCP. How would Sam stop him?
I think Disney didn't want to throw too much money, so they got this made.
I'd think it was a fan-made thing too... but the last shot seems too real.
"more likely this is a fan trailer?" ...More like definitely a fan trailer. Not just because the guy's acting was that *not a terrible actor, per se, but definitely not strong enough to pull off having a fake phone conversation convincingly* kind of acting. LOL. ...But still, very cool idea. Here's hoping they have some "WOAH" fan moments like that in the real Tron 3. ...Like, "WOAH, Flynn still lives and has become one with the system somehow!" or something epic like that.
Des anyone else remember those PS4 viral ads last year after watching this? This is like those ads, too-good-to-be-true but still fan-made.
Am I the only one concerned with the massive amounts of car wrecks that light cycle has caused on city streets? I mean someone is hitting that light trail at an intersection.
Why would a computer programming class meet in a lecture hall and not a lab?
Definitely fan made, but also very cool. I just saw Tron: Legacy last week. I'm not a big Tron fan, but I really enjoyed it. However, Jeff Bridge's CG young face creeped me out.
same here, my classes were in a lecture room / computer lab separated by a door.
you couldn't trust students to pay attention with a computer in front of them. plus people tend to take notes on paper still when learning new things.
We had computer classes in lecture halls. While we did the actual labs and assignments in the labs.
I had some programming classes that met in a lecture hall for the theory and syntax, and there was a separate lab time for the actual programming.
Same, especially in the beginning. Freshman year they made us write out pieces of java programs with pen and paper for weeks. It built character or something.
