Tron 2 Teaser
It's really bad quality, but there's a enlarged and rotated version of the Tron 2 teaser shown Comic-Con at the bottom of the page. It's looking good - although they've updated the CGI, they've kept the iconic style.

It's just a game?
Sigh, so another re-interpretation. I have yet to see a re-interpretation of an existing fanchise that turned out better and remained faithful. Maybe this'll be different... Hope this doesn't leave a bad taste in my mouth like the new Star Trek or Battlestar Galactica... Regards, SB |

It's not gonna be about the internet, it'll take place on the same - but considerably upgraded - Encom server that we've visited in the first movie. Oh, with 25 years of evolution on top of it. Then there's Bridges, there's Daft Punk, the images are very true to the original Syd Mead paintings' aesthetics... I'm very optimistic. Not to mention that beyond the CG world's looks and a few ideas, the original Tron is a bad movie. Bad direction, bad acting, lots of stupid and naive elements...

What made you think this is a reinterpretation?

I thought The Matrix was already Tron 2?

Oh nm, guess it's a full on sequel, the trailer looked like a re-imaging...

Holy crap, Jeff Bridges looks OLD now.
 Could be a cool movie, though I do hope the kids of today making this movie don't change things just for the sake of changing them, updating them, making them look "better" or more modern etc. They gotta respect this old classic's...well...legacy. DON'T MUCK IT UP. Looking forward to seeing this movie. |

Here's a bit of the score, and something you'd probably want in your garage:

They have already fucked it up Star Trek style in that trailer with the 'other' light cycle guy being able to turn off his tail & the 'hero' crash not being a fatal error.
Tron Guy rules!   He took his 30 secs of infamy & ran with it, now he even has a Tron Plane too.

The DP theme is pretty awesome.
On the movie though, they need to knock off the curves. Tron bikes turn in increments of 90 degrees, this is a Law Of Physics(TM). Curves are so 90s. |

Unfortunately don't think they have a choice, it looks like they used real motorbikes and then layered CG on it, like mo-cap. Shame. So instead of feeling like being inside of a computer. It'll feel like it's just real life with computer graphics.
And yeah, can't help the feeling they they are re-inventing Tron even though it's a sequel. /sigh. Betting this will end up being worse than the first one. Regards, SB |

Huh???? What on Earth makes you think that?
Characters will be live action though, just as the original Tron (most of which had no CG at all anyway) but that's better that way. And 90 degree turns could look pretty stupid... and the original bikes did it only on the game grid, too...

If they want to update it for the modern era they could maybe do 45-degree routing and through layer vias. But the whole point of the original movie was that it was a geeky joke for geeks. Ah well.
Remakes suck. Don't get me started on The Taking of Peckham 123. |

It's not a remake, it's a sequel, taking place in the same Encom mainframe. It sounds like they update the concept a bit to sound less silly - making it a simulation that's been running and evolving uninterrupted for about 25 years.
