Not the biggest tron fan, but I used to play Armagetron a lot back when I was younger and still have it installed (http://www.armagetronad.net/) so I'd thought I'd post on this.

Faces look creepily outta shape but the light cycles look sick.

[Darkdrium777]

Seems interesting, but it's Disney so be cautious. :)

[okam]

Looks (and sounds) like zone mode, but on motorbikes, heh. As far as Disney goes, they aren't just about cartoons for kids these days, they have made some pretty decent adventure movies in the last years.

[RedScar]

Pirates of the Caribbean was a great movie, and even if the 2nd and 3nd wern't as good I still enjoyed them.

[NightArh]

Heh! I played Tron videogame many years ago :D Have to watch this movie anyway... especially in IMAX

[mdhay]

I'm looking forward to this, all Disney would have to do would be to make it just ever so slightly more violent, and it'll be epic, just like Armagetron.:D

NightArh, Do you mean Tron 2.0? I have that, though my PC is the ass - end of technology, just about getting Armagetron to work, so I never had a chance to.:(:)

[NightArh]

Tron 2.0... Armagetron... :lol

And also GLTron on my first Linux Slackware

[mdhay]

Wow, there's a lot of Tron fans out there, huh?:lol

[NightArh]

I didn't see original movie that was released in 1982 so I am not Tron fan probably :p I just liked videogames. Especially GLTron (http://www.gltron.org/)with my friends using one keyboard (up to 4 players) :beer

[Hellfire_WZ]

Do see it if you get the chance, fantastic film. It does look very dated now but when it was released it was absolutely cutting edge.

Really hope this new one does it justice.

[mdhay]

Shame, NightArh, the original made me believe that Disney could make films that are for people older than 3.:lol

[NightArh]

Okay, okay... You have persuaded me! I have to find this VHS somewhere :D I am not sure I will be able to find player for it..

[Mu5]

Nooo! Dont watch it on VHS....get the DVD!! :D

Thanks for posting this - the previous version I seen was from someone with a camcorder sitting in the crowd at ComicCon, and the quality was very poor.

Cant wait for this :D

[LOUDandPROUD]

I'm also a fan of the original film, as well as the videogame, which I used to play at my local arcade (damn, it was hard). Really looking forward to this new film!

[stin]

I have an original DVD here and I must have watched three or four times!

This new version!, looks like I will be watching this in near future!!

stevie:robot

[stinkleroy]

Wow Tron is back? Awesome, it's even got Jeff BRIDGES in it too...I loved the original movie as a kid, haven't seen it in years though...might have to search it out :D

[Hellfire_WZ]

You mean Jeff Bridges?

[stinkleroy]

Jesus my brain is on phantom autopilot today, yes I meant Jeff Bridges haha :paperbag

[RedScar]

All the Tron fans on the zone coming outta the closet :P

[Darkdrium777]

I am not a Tron fan though, but I will watch this movie if it is good :)

[mdhay]

All the Tron fans on the zone coming outta the closest :P

Well, yeah, a guy gets punched in the face and gets taken down! When has Disney done that before?:lol

[LOUDandPROUD]

Really? Jeff Bridges is in it again? That's so awesome. I love him as an actor.

The Dude abides... ;)

[Chuckzombie]

I'm looking forward to seeing this and how they re-visit an old classic. In the meantime I'll dust-off my special edition dvd...

I have to wonder though, who will be the bad guy this time, to replace David Warners' character, Sark. My money's on Bill Gates! ;)

[IH8YOU]

I've never seen Tron - ever. Yes, I'm serious.

Now commence the lynching!

[Mu5]

What?....Heres a taste :D

One of the cool bits in the film - my favourite scene being the light cycles of course :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3ODe9mqoDE

Classic :D

[Motorsagmannen]

damn, looks sexy. i need to see this so that i can look forward to the new one :lol

[LOUDandPROUD]

Finally got around to watching the trailer for the new one and wow...I'm even more excited than I already was!

[Lance]

I liked the original TRON, too, especially the light cycles, and the bit where this sort of cyber insect 'flies' on a cyber guidewire above the boardscape.

[PoliPino]

I've never seen Tron - ever. Yes, I'm serious.

Now commence the lynching!

Wow, really?

*Get 'ur pitchforks ready!!* :p

Before Pixar, Tron was the only good Disney movie.
I LOVED the Intellivision games too. I spent hours playing Tron Deadly Discs when I was little

[NightArh]

The Latino Review caught the action at Disney's D23 Expo a few days ago, and they got a few words from producer Steven Linsberger. What came out of the exchange would certainly be good news for Tron-atics all over the world - Tron: Legacy is in the works.

Linsberger wasn't sure if he should mention it or not, but let it loose anyway. There is indeed a new Tron game in the works, and Disney Interactive is on the job. That's all he said though - other details like platform and genre are still a big mystery, but at least Tron fans will have that assurance.

[DawnFireDragoon]

literally just finished watching the first Tron 5 minutes ago...and i still think it's a really awesome movie.

i'm pretty excited about the prospect of this new movie, especially as the trailer looked amazing! :rock

[KGB]

I went to the pictures to see the original. It was cutting edge at the time but has dated badly. Didn't like the film much and my mate threw up in his seat because he ate too many Cola Bottles. So it was a bad night really.

It will be interesting to see if the new one is any good.

[NightArh]

New video game will be released as well

New Tron Movie Trailer (http://uk.movies.ign.com/dor/objects/34401/tron-2/videos/tron_leg_trl_030910.html?show=hi)

Its going to be in IMAX 3D as well, looks pretty sweet!!!!

[q_dmc12]

Interesting:eek

[RedScar]

I'm going to try and get IMAX tickets for sure. PUMPED!!!!

[infoxicated]

The new movie looks excellent from the trailer :)

[rdmx]

Never seen the 1st one (it looks very archaic by today's standards) but this one looks very pretty and interesting.

[Dan Locke]

If you haven't seen it, you should probably know that it's essentially a generic fantasy movie dressed up with computer graphics and hokey terminology. It looks pretty cool (in its own glowy, flat-shaded way), but you get the feeling that the people behind it had no experience with computers apart from seeing somebody use one for about a minute. If you know anything about computers, it's comedy gold.

[stin]

Niiice, I did watched my original version on my DVD and this one is looking good and hopefully I will be getting blu-ray for that.

stevie:)

[eLhabib]

Well, Dan, the original is from 1982 (like most of the best things ;)) - a time when computers were still something mysterious to the broad masses. Of course, the actual story with programs being enslaved by the evil mainframe is total humbug, but I think it was never the goal to depict the innards of a computer in a realistic way ;) An it's a top film to boot!

Will be interesting to see though how they make the story not seem completely ridiculous nowadays...
