SDCC: Crappy Tron 2 Footage Still Scores Big
First bit of good news: Apparently the Tron sequel is now called the not-at-all-ridiculous Tron Legacy. Second bit of good news — this new clip shown at the Tron panel is fucking outstanding. Seriously. I might have been bitchy earlier, but this footage –filmed in shaky-cam by a a camera made entirely out of vaseline –still makes me shoot liquids from all my orifice simultaneously in glee. Enjoy it while you can; I doubt this clip will stick around long.
