‘Tron Legacy’ Trailer Hits

Here’s the official trailer for the upcoming sequel to the 80s sci-fi film Tron. It was originally called Tron 2.0 and then Tron 2, it’s new official title is Tron Legacy.

This is basically the same as the trailer that was shown at last year’s Comic-Con, thankfully this one is actually in HD for our viewing pleasure. You’d think they would have more to show since they actually shot the movie since last year, but we’ll just have to settle for now.

‘Tron 2′ Budget Bloated Over $300 Million?

tron2tron2-1

Tron 2 has a reported $300 million budget, of course, in Canadian dollars! Yes that’s a lot of money, even in U.S. Dollars it’s still $245 million! 

Vancouver post-production units are salivating at the prospects presented by the Disney remake of Tron, which carries a whopping $300 million budget and opportunities aplenty for effects and digital polish.

The 1982 version of the film starring Jeff Bridges blazed new trails in computer graphics and you can bet Tron 2.0 will push much further down the pixel path.

Some have scoffed at the concept, but Race to Witch Mountain cost around $150 million, so it doesn’t seem completely impossible that Tron 2 could hold a price tag of $245 million.

First ‘Tron 2′ Image Emerges as Filming Begins

This is the first image from the upcoming sequel Tron 2. And here are some details from the photographer. 

They have been spending some crazy money here. They have been blocking off huge main sections of downtown for some pretty awesome looking action scenes. I saw tons of police cars chasing a guy hanging on to the top of a taxi. There were huge cranes holding up a stunt wire rig rig like I have never seen before. There is defintly some impressive non light cycle real life action in this movie. They have also transformed the tallest building in the city with huge encom logos and futuristic lighting. I was in total awe of how much equipment and gadgets they had. Everything I’ve seen them doing in the last five days is easily some of the most expensive stuff I’ve ever seen.  It’s probably is $300 million, even if it’s canadian dollars. I only managed to grab this crappy still with the big logo and some futuristic room above.

Sounds like it’s going to be pretty action packed, and with the modern digital technology I’m sure we’ll be seeing some spectacular in-system visuals.

Surprising ‘Tron 2′ Plot Revealed

tron

The plot for the film sequel Tron 2 has been revealed online.

SPOILERS BELOW, obviously, as AICN’s source saw no problem in revealing the entire story. And the first thing they point out is thatTron 2orTR2Nwill definitely not be the title– probably something more along the lines ofTron: Revenge of the FallenorTron: Salvation, you get the idea.

OK, as for the plot. The new film opens in 1989, where Kevin Flynn (Bridges) has become successful by basinggameson his experiences in the Game Grid in the first film. Then he suddenly disappears, leaving behind his son, Sean, who we meet up with again 20 years later. Alan Bradley (Bruce Boxleitner) encourages Sean to track down his father, which of course leads him into the same computer world. There Flynn’s CLU character from the first film has gone bad, which explains how Jeff Bridges is the villain this time around. And, you know, Sean has to save the day in the end.

Sounds like some dramatic changes in the characters loyalties. Its strange that Jeff Bridges character will be the bad guy.

Bruce Boxleitner Returns For ‘Tron 2.0′

The original cast of Tron is has returned for Tron 2.0, including Jeff Bridges andBruce Boxleitner.

Bruce Boxleitner, who played Alan Bradley and the title character in Walt Disney Pictures’ 1982 filmTron, is currently filming a role for the studio’s upcomingTron 2.0. He joins fellow original cast member Jeff Bridges and newcomers Olivia Wilde and Beau Garrett in the anticipated action-adventure.

The teaser shown at the 2008 Comic-Con really brought the crowd to cheering and excitement. I really like the original, I hope the new technology and concepts portrayed in Tron 2.0 manage to be more than just effects. I’m hoping for a great script.

‘TRON 2′ Trailer Online!

Yes thats right! Tron 2 is on its way, a sequel 25 years later! Here’s the footage somebody took of the unveiling at Comic-Con. It’s blurry at the beginning but then it gets better, pretty cool. It’ll be great to see what they can do with today’s technology as compared to 25 years ago. And yes, Jeff Bridges is back. The film will be directedby Joseph Kosinski. I’ll put better quality video up when it becomes available.

SORRY, DISNEY HAD THIS CLIP REMOVED!!!

They’ve struck again, congrats to those who got to see it before it got pulled, hopefully they will release it to the public soon!

This one’s coming in 2010.
