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.'"

    It's like an amateur version of Speed Racer. It looks like something somebody put together with Blender.

    As a driving game, it looks like fun. As a movie, probably not.

    Brilliance? Toy Story came out quite a while ago... I haven't seen them do anything brilliant since. Some butchered, CGI crap-fest sequel to Tron certainly won't help.
