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.'"
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?
If you are trying to parse it in l337 sp34k, that's your problem. It's parsed in Prince-Speak.
While there does appear to be letters in the title, it's actually a symbol. You pronounce it "The movie formerly known as Tron 2."
Perhaps its pronounced 'Troon', and instead of bikes they play laser golf?
"Be light, stinging, insolent and melancholy"
That's just, like, your opinion, man.
