Bootleg Tron 2 Trailer Is Out In the Wild

An anonymous reader writes "Gizmodo and Filmstalker are showing the Tron 2 (aka Tr2n) teaser from Comic-Con 08. From the Giz article: 'It's a tiny bootleg video, but I don't care. You can see that the 3D looks amazing, the new lightcycles are stunning (and move like real bikes), the world and the whole mood is Batman-like dark. And Jeff Bridges ... well, he is Jeff Bridges. What can I say, he looks like a badass version of The Dude. "It's just a game!" he shouts. No, it's not. It's Tr2n. At last. Note: excuse the excitement, but I saw the original in the movie theater, and 200 times after that. With War Games, it's what got me into technology when I was a kid, and ultimately here in Giz. The only thing that has me worried is that the characters in the computer world are fully 3D.'"

Re:Tr2n?

L337-sp34k major here. It's pronounced tr-two-n, just like it's spelled.

There was culture before you...

And quite frankly... It was consistently better than the crap you are fed. See, we got to watch Star Wars (and Han shot first!) you were sold the sanitized and commercialized after-births. We got Tron, you haven't had anything like it. (No, the matrix is not nearly as innovative, visually inspiring or thought provoking.) We got Blade Runner too and Alien. You got nothing or poor sequels.

The fact that you don't "get it", Mr. Burton speaks volumes of your generation. Yes, Tron 2 will probably be a disappointment to those of us that chose jobs, hobbies and careers because of the magic we experienced with Tron. But at least we had that magic once.

And that's just talking about movies. I can mention literature, music and art examples too. All going back thousands of years. Your generation is culturally bankrupt.

Why don't you put down the console controller and iPod long enough to get out and experience some of the things that occurred prior to your birth (which, by the way, was also clearly another entirely un-noteworthy event in the history of your generation.)

And therefore as a stranger give it welcome. There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

(That's Hamlet by the way written by another imaginative fellow long before your time.)
