That's definitely Tron! The pattern of lights match up to Rinzler, he has lights on his forefinger and middle finger (something we've seen on only Rinzler) and for a split second you can see the 't' on his chest.

‘Tron: Legacy’ pulls fans into its world

http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2010/11/08/tron-legacy-pulls-fans-into-its-world/

The 1982 film “Tron” was not a major commercial success, but it became a pivot point in Hollywood history as the first feature film to use computer-generated animation in a big way. The movie holds a special (and quirky) spot in pop culture history, and there are passionate fans of its legacy. One of them is Jay West, who has written a series of guest columns on Disney’s elaborate promotions for the sequel, “Tron: Legacy,” which is due out Dec. 17. “Tron Night” is coming, and Jay is on top of it.

As part of the ramping marketing for “Tron: Legacy,” a preview “Tron Night” was held at select IMAX theatres and Digital 3-D theatres. I attended “Tron Night” at the Universal City IMAX and the vibe from the audience while queued up was one of bottled excitement. Some wore “Tron” T-shirts and caps and others came in Daft Punk tour t-shirts (the French music duo created the score for the“Tron” sequel and have cited the original 1982 “Tron” movie as a major creative influence). Disney passed out complimentary glow necklaces and “Tron: Legacy” posters — and a curvy model decked out as a “siren program” dsitributed “Tron” swag like light-up caps and some die-cast vehicles.

Steven Lisberger — the writer and director of the original “Tron” movie, and a writer and producer on “Tron: Legacy” — was on hand to introduce the footage. Lisberger jovially addressed the audience by saying: “Well it’s great to see all this neon… you guys look amazing.” Lisberger said 1982 audiences weren’t ready for many aspects of ”Tron”: “Parents had never been to a Disney movie where they couldn’t understand the story. It left 10-year-olds saying, ‘If parents don’t get it then this is for me!’” and added: “I thought the movie would be a revolution, but people don’t change that quickly. People leave the theatre and go on about their lives. It takes a generation to really make change happen.”

I’ve put together a video report on the event that includes an excerpt of Lisberger’s introduction and a brief interview with him after the screening, as well as reaction to the preview footage by some of the attendees. A couple of scenes from the movie that were shown are also included: When Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund) first meets Quorra (Olivia Wilde), and when Sam is reunited with his father, Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges). There’s also a video for Daft Punk’s “Derezzed” track — which includes a montage of imagery from the movie. Thanks to Hero Complex for a chance to be a guest “fan correspondent” and share this “Tron” moment.

Nice article

 

[Brian Braddock]

Y'know what - I just rewatched the new trailer and Clu.v2's mouth actually seemed better on repeated viewings.

As I've said before, the face and the hair was absolutely perfect to me. So now that the mouth is looking better - I'm definately 100%

the movement doesnt get better you just got used to it.

dude when CGI artists on CGI forums are saying '' digital domain you are great but the movement doesnt look good'' then you know that its just not realistic.

nothing wrong. its a face. its the holly grail of CGI. Digital Domain tryed and failed. but at least they tryed. they learned on Tron 2 more then Sony imageworks in the last 10 years.

the texturing,lighting is realistic. they are using photoreference scans from 8k maps,global illumination and of course glossy reflectioms for shine.

 

[zanos]

Man, did they find the lead actor from the Hayden Christensen school of acting? I've never seen so many male actors in recent years land big lead roles simply because they're good looking. It's mind boggling.

 

[dark_b]

i think the actor is decent.

 

[Dark Victory]

Agreed. From what I've seen of Garrett, he's been pretty lacking.

 

[Kane52630]

the scenes ive seen on Tron Night with Garrett was solid, far from Hayden Christensen.

I don't know, his acting in the 7 mins of footage had better acting than Christensen displayed in the Star Wars prequels and Jumper.

 

[Deaths Head II]

I have no problem with Garrett from what I've seen so far. Either way he's nowhere close to the level of Hayden Christensen.

‘Tron’ DVD: Lost in the machine?

http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2010/11/10/tron-dvd-is-hard-to-find/

Flynn lives, all right, but he’s awfully elusive. One of the toughest movies to get your hands on right now is “Tron.” Not “Tron: Legacy,” the breathlessly promoted movie due in theaters Dec. 17, but the original 1982 saga starring Jeff Bridges as hacker Kevin Flynn, which has gone out of print on DVD.

Director Steven Lisberger recently remastered the film, color correcting it and reframing certain shots for a planned Blu-ray edition. But Disney hasn’t yet set a release date for Lisberger’s new version, and as the studio’s marketing for ‘Tron: Legacy” has become ubiquitous, interest in the original is outstripping supply.

“They’re trying to figure out when the best time is to release it,” Lisberger says. “I don’t think there’s anything intentional going on to deprive ‘Tron’ fans of the new edition.”

The last time “Tron” hit stores was as a two-disc 20th anniversary collector’s edition released in 2002.

As fans — or would-be fans — seek out DVDs of the 1982 “Tron,” they have to be willing to open their wallets. In August, copies of “Tron” were still available on Ebay for under $20. Now used DVDs are being auctioned for more three times that amount. Netflix lists “Tron” as “availability unknown,” only two of Blockbuster’s 30 L.A.-area stores had copies in stock this week, iTunes doesn’t offer the title and even specialty stores that pride themselves on stocking obscure used DVDs are empty-handed. “We’ve been fielding several requests a week for ‘Tron,’” says Matthew Messbarger, a clerk in the movie department at Los Angeles’ Amoeba Music. “I just sort of assumed they would have a new version out by now.”

Studios rarely miss an opportunity to capitalize on interest in one of their catalog titles. In 2009, Lionsgate released a remaster of “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” the same week Warner Bros. opened the franchise reboot “Terminator: Salvation” in theaters, and in 2004 20th Century Fox unveiled a “Star Wars” box set eight months before the release of “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.”

“Tron” was a much more modest success than those films, however, earning $33 million at the box office and becoming a cult favorite for its groundbreaking use of CG effects and prescient story about computer culture. Today, its effects might look quaint to sophisticated audiences.

Disney has declined to say when the studio will release a new edition of “Tron,” but it’s possible the company is deliberately holding back on printing new copies of a movie that could alienate the broad, non-geek audiences they’ll need to make “Tron: Legacy” a success. [Update: Disney now says Lisberger's remastered version of "Tron" will be available sometime in 2011.]

“That film was ahead of its time,” says Jan Saxton, analyst at Adams Media Research. “But they want the focus to be on their new effort.”

I was able to get Tron through Netflix over the summer

‘Tron’ DVD: Lost in the machine?

http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2010/11/10/tron-dvd-is-hard-to-find/

I am tempted to offload my copy of the 20th Anniversary Edition as I think I only paid 10 bucks for it. It isn't like the re-release won't be out within a few months...

 

[Still Wynning]

Here's link to a website which has samples of tracks from the Tron: Legacy soundtrack. Some I'm already familiar with, but I heard quite a few new pieces:

[BlackLantern]

I have no issue with Hedlund.....as for the movie, Im wondering how Flynn ended up back in there or what drew him back there

 

[Webhead2006]

Yea I don't think garrett is anything like hayden. He seems pretty solid.

 

[That-Guy]

Yeah, I haven't seen Hedlund in that many movies, but all the ones I have seen him in, I thought he was good. He looks like he's holding his own in the clips I've seen of this movie too. I don't understand where the "Hayden Christiansen" comments are coming from.

But then, who knows. I have a friend who thinks that this new Tron looks worse than the original (and she hated that movie). Personally, I think she just has her head up her ass.
