The sequel to the most greatest of all movies in all of times.

It's been what, 20 years?
The director of the trailer was Joseph Kosinski and it's believed that he's the director for the actual movie.
The script is being written by two of the Lost writers.
Jeff Bridges is confirmed.
The film is actually called TR2N.

At least Jeff Bridges is in, that's enough to get me onboard
I don't know, I just remember seeing their name at the end of the credits one time and giving a hearty what-the-fuck.
This trailer's pretty much the only thing released.
and I edited to reflect that. I'm also interested what journey's part was, would be neat if the current incarnation did something but I think I'm hoping for too much retrospective fanservice
edit: most of all I hope this is a good movie and not just tron given the George Lucas treatment
I really can't see Jeff Bridges outside of that role anymore.
And the inevitable repeat of the scene with the water that gets them high will instead have Hayden Christensen's face staring at them from beneath the water and smiling.
Way to miss the point guyz.

It certainly looks promising, and the fact that Bridges is in it really gives me hope. It really wouldn't be TRON without him. The younger version of him as the yellow program (Clu?) is extremely impressive. Looks and sounds just like they filmed him 20 years ago for that one, at least as far as you can tell with the low quality bootleg.
So instead of being the realistic virtual analogue of a video game, it's... a video game.
Way to miss the point guyz.
Actually, in the original film, once the cycles got off the actual game grid they stopped doing the "instant turn" thing and made more natural curved motions.
Since we don't know the exact situation in the trailer, I think it's a safe bet to assume that they weren't on a standard lightcycle grid, where the typical rules would apply.
To be a big geek about it, while that's true, they also didn't have the laser trails off the grid.
That being said, fuck the little details. That was fucking awesome.
I knew as soon as I posted that someone would mention the trails disappearing, lol. I had thought about mentioning them, but it didn't seem necessary. Like I said, they're probably just not on a typical game grid of the type we've seen before, so who knows what the rules are in the particular region they're riding around in?
And yeah, I agree with you totally, it was really fucking awesome, and I really hope we get an official release of this trailer sometime fairly soon. I'd love to get a chance to get a good look at how well they pulled off the young Bridges as the program, because in the crappy version it really did look just about perfect, as far as I could tell.
If they follow this exact style for the movie itself, I think at least visually it will be great. I just hope they have an equally fun and interesting story to go along with the look.
It seems like all of that maneuvering would still register as instantly turning from the user's point of view.
But then I'm not going to go 'omg they don't turn instantly they fucked upz Tr0n!!!11' yet.
Then again considering the batting average for sequels to old 80s movies, it could very well suck balls.
Oh jesus shut up.
Yeah, I'll be skipping this one. If they can't get lightcycles right they're not worth my time.
Maybe wait for it to show up on Hulu.
All my ect. ect. :rotate::rotate::rotate:

See how many books I've read so far in 2010
Edit: HAHA, Jesus.
Didn't much care for the movie, though.
haha,so basically we aren't watching "real" movies anymore cause everyone is "cheating" with all the CG!
Easy solution:
Since, according to Lucas, the original Star Wars trilogy in its non-remastered form doesn't exist anymore. You take all the awards they won back then and retroactively give them to the Tron folks

It was neat, but I really don't think I would want to see it as the sequel. I didn't really care for a lot of the story aspects, even if I loved the gameplay itself. On the hardest setting, I would just sit and play that opening tutorial disc combat for hours.
Fun fact: The glow from the light suits is actually all painted on, frame, by frame, by frame. You can see at times they kind of dim, probably hinting towards someone dying from having to paint so much and someone else taking his place.
Directing a three minute short is nothing like directing a full length film.
I really hope they're not actually calling this Tr2n. I'll look forward to it, regardless.
