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.'"
This film looks killer, though the quality of the clip is very bootleg. There's so much potential (a 68.71% chance?) for subtle nerdy references in this...
Did anyone else notice that the yellow dude looked just like Rimmer? I hope he plays a thinly veiled UAC, that would be perfect.
End of line.

How do you even pronounce something like that? "Two" doesn't sound like the letter "O" nor does it look like one. Isn't "2" supposed to replace the letter "Z" or something?
Can someone with a major in L337-sp34k explain it?
Given the habit of subtitles and "addendums" in movie titles, we could have had: Tr2n: Tr0wnd Tr2n: 2Tron:2Troff Or if Capcom were producing it it would be Super Hyper Tr2n Alpha 2x2 Part One, Director's edition.

I was going over dvds at netflix the other day and found out my wife never saw tron.
Yeah, I've been there. The Tron Guy Suit I wear when having sex made a whole lot more sense to her after she saw the film.
That's just, like, your opinion, man.

hi, heard of 'the matrix'?
Greetings, programs!
WAAAAHHHGHGHGH, I am soooooo excited about this. I even use extra oooooo's in sooooo to illustrate my happiness.
seriously, tron was a huge part of my childhood. I used to have a VHS taped from a TV broadcast. I had the movie, and the commercials memorized. I would plant my ass in front of the TV, watch my Tron, and make my legos. I would be sitting there building a castle or something, and muttering the dialog along with the movie, then, the commercials would come on and I would continue: "Heart disease, kidney disease, and blindness, are all signs...".
Do you think we can merge with this memory, bit?
my older brother and sister had an intellivision,so I came up playing that. (I was born in 1981) my FAVORITE game was Tron, Deadly Discs. it remained my favorite game until the NES hit a few years later.
I used to get my parents to take me to chuck-e-cheese's (a pizza video game place if you are from far off lands, I am not a totally insensitive clod), and I would take all the tokens and pump them into the tron machine. Mom would say "wouldn't you like to try some other games?"....
"BUT MOOOOOM! I WANNA PLAY MY TRON! Can I watch my tron when I get home?"
"Kelly, you have seen that program a million times, don't you think you should get outside and play?"
"MOM! WHO YOU CALLIN A PROGRAM, PROGRAM?!?
"kelly you need your exercise"
"BUT MO-OM! I am playing the game and I wanna go watch the movie and make my legos!"
and so on
Bring in the logic probe! I can't wait anymore

Maybe you haven't noticed there are about 500 versions of Blade Runner at this point.
