Just a Reminder: Tron Rules
Obviously, this is a new, fan-made trailer for the original 1982 film, cheating a bit with new CG for the caption text (and a great deal of text at that). However, I posit that normally if enough footage exists which can make a trailer look this exciting, that movie must be pretty good. I must say I do prefer this modern-style fan trailer over that Saul Bass-style Tron trailer that’s floating around; I feel like that one doesn’t treat the tale of a man sucked into a videogame world to throw frisbees with evil computer programs with the gravity it deserves. Thanks to Runescope for the tip.
