Tron headphones and keyboard .....I want now.

 

[tecnowraith]

Now this is new! What do you suppose this is? I am very curious.

 

[GhostPoet]

Oh my...I want that keyboard.

 

[DorkyFresh]

too bad their electronics look to be wired...otherwise i'd seriously consider buying some.

 

[scifiwolf]

Yeah, that keyboard and those headphones are seriously badass. I've been thinking about an illuminated keyboard, but haven't found one I like. That one may end up being more distracting than functional, though.

I went to the Cinema Expo in Amsterdam today where Disney gave a one and a half hour presentation about their movie projects of the next 18 months and the presentation ended with a 6 to 8 minute presentation about TRON Legacy.

I have to saw, my mind was complete blown to pieces! MY GOD this movie is the most stylish, designer, innovative movie projects I've seen in a while, certainly from a studio like Disney. We saw plenty of concept art and animatics but the presentation ended with what looked like a new trailer. It was basically an extended version of the previous trailer. We first see Sam in bed as a child, with Kevin sitting on his bed, talking about an experience Kevin has had, and we see toys in Sam's room based on elements inside the TRON world. During these scenes you never see Kevin's face, he's only seen from the back. Then we see the entire introduction of Sam looking for his father, discussing his disappearance, going to the arcade, sitting at the table with the laser behind him, but instead of a fade like the first trailer, we now see a neon blue pull of the outlines and figure of Sam into the camera. and that transports us into the TRON world.

Mindblowing imagery, but the music. DAMN people! I need that soundtrack in my life right now! The song playing was completely new and it literally shook the room and made my inner core tremble. I featured a VERY hard and deep bassline, repeated constantly with four or five synth tones playing over it in repetition. The bass really shakes you up like a very hard and loud drum. It's just so innovative as a soundtrack and really does fit the atmosphere of the movie.

Back to the trailer. We see Sam walking around in the TRON world. Looking around as recognizers fly past and eventually a shot where he is lifted up into the disc game arena with about five players facing eachother to battle. Two players go at it and one of them throws his disc straight through the other player which leads him to shatter like glass and break apart into thousands of square pixel type pieces on the floor. It's epically beautiful in terms of art direction and mood with all it's neon, black and lighting. Really cutting edge, modern and also retro to some degree. We see some shots of Clu2.0 at the end of the clip we see Sam facing Clu2.0 who is a digitally rejuvenated Lloy Bridges which is EXTREMELY mindboggling to look at. Really well excecuted! Sam stands in a room looking at Clu2.0 and says: "Dad?", Clu2.0 looks back and says: "I'm not your father but I'm certainly happy to meet you", then he turns around and starts to walk away. It's all VERY powerfull stuff, with some awesome footage of lightcycle battles with 3 bikes cutting curves, bumping and crashing into eachother.

I'm REALLY psyched about this movie right now and the trailer is STUNNING, I seriously can't wait to own that soundtrack and play it to death. EPIC!!!

I'll be watching Toy Story 3 in a couple of hours. I'm hoping to see the Tron Legacy trailer

i think the trailer was only for them

i think the trailer was only for them

I know the trailer was for them. The trailer was shown as the Cinema Expo ( europe's version of Showest) and only industry insiders are allowed. Not the general public.
But i wanna see the Tron Legacy trailer on the big screen. Here in holland we usually don't see trailer till 1.5-2 months before release. There are rare exceptions of seeing trailers very early on. ALice In WOnderland being one of them. Alice came out in March and we saw the trailer in december ( a full 3 months before release).
Considering that the first trailer of Tron was completely in 3-d , i'm hoping to see it with TS3 today in IMAX 3-d.

 

[dark_b]

i thought oyu meant the expo trailer.

i also didnt get the Tron teaser with Alice.

 

[Webhead2006]

the expo trailer sounds cool. would love if it went online.

We see some shots of Clu2.0 at the end of the clip we see Sam facing Clu2.0 who is a digitally rejuvenated Lloy Bridges which is EXTREMELY mindboggling to look at.

I can't wait to see how good the cg Clu face looks in motion.

[Dark Victory]

I'm going to try my best and hold off on the trailer info 'til it's released online, probably a short time after Comic-Con.

 

[rashad]

Cool Banners! I want the one with Olivia Wilde!

 

[DorkyFresh]

looks EXACTLY like Avatar!!!

 

[dark_b]

how can you not find those suits cool?

 

[MOVIELORD101]

looks EXACTLY like Avatar!!!

No it doesn't! Please don't start back up what that other guy a while ago began...

 

[matrix_ghost]

looks EXACTLY like Avatar!!!

I think Disney is definately looking at avatar to promote tron , as well as some of their own stuff.
Going for the december slot , which is the same period that Avatar was released. It is debatable but i think that after Avatar , Tron might the first movie with unique 3-d visuals. And while Tron has premiered footage at CC , it was just the Proof on concept test , this time around they are going to show (quite alot ) new footage . CC '09 was the first time audiences ( not ndustry people) saw the footage of Avatar.

 

[Webhead2006]

cool stuff, and read about tron getting a comic con panel this yr. Hopefully they got some cool stuff this time.

 

[corby]

I think this sums up the general audience's view of Tron

I think this sums up the general audience's view of Tron

Personally i've found wilde to be that attractive but then i like busty chicks
Seriously though if you replace the wilde pic with any pic ( or specifically the Bridges pic) from the proof of concept test , you pretty much nailed the general reaction to Legacy.

Oh man I have to get my hands on that keyboard and mouse set, it looks amazing!

I just watched the first movie for the first time in a very long while. Just wanted to refresh my memory before the second one came out! The visuals look amazing, I'm impressed with how well its all come out
