There are moments that people cherish from their childhood. Things like playing catch with their dad the first time, or your first best friend.

One of the moments in my childhood was watching TRON for the first time, at my Aunt and Uncle's house. I couldn't have been more than 3 or 4 at the time, as they had it in Betamax (google it). The movie was completely different than anything I'd ever seen and took over my world for months. It was special. It is a part of who I am. It was a big part of why I became interested in technology and science fiction.

Every once in a while I sit down and watch my TRON DVD. I think back to a time with my Aunt (who has since passed away from cancer) and Uncle. It's really an entertaining movie, even without the nostalgia.

Imagine my surprise when I see that they are making a sequel... with Jeff Bridges.

I apologize for the quality of the bootleg trailer here (from ComicCon), but suffice to say that it's a decent teaser. I'll add the obligatory "I hope they don't screw it up", but really I am just happy to see someone take a crack at the TRON universe. If it's good, even a little, this will be a great movie experience.

The release date is estimated to be some time in 2011.

//squees like little monster girl that he is//

Bitching. I watched the VHS of TRON to static when I was younger. now they are making another... I haven't even the words to describe what Bridges looked like in that trailer, other than awesome.

damn... I saw it in the theaters.... the videos were really too dark to get a good visual on the whole space. looks like it will be interesting.

I am glad they managed to land Jeff Bridges for the sequel... it bodes well.

EDIT: I should've probably read the first post....

Holy shit! That's awesome!!

I LOVED LOVED LOVED the movie TRON. I saw it in the theaters, and I went back twice more for good measure. I thought it was absolutely unlike anything I'd ever seen. When the video game came out, I spent hours in the arcades, playing it....

I'll screen TRON 20th anniversary edition on my plasma right before TR2N comes out.

Flynn Lives

I want to see this. I liked Tron when I was a kid, but I'm not a huge fan of it. Think I might d/l it and watch it again.

Jeff Bridges looks fucking awesome.

A few new details:
• the official name is "TRON: Legacy" (thanks for changing the thread title, Cynth)
• the release date has been moved from 2011 to 2010
• in addition to Jeff Bridges, Bruce Boxleitner (TRON/Alan Bradley) will be returning
• French electronica duo Daft Punk is handling the scoring
• Daniel Simon, known for designing concept cars for everyone from Bugatti to Lamborghini, has been directly involved in designing vehicles for the movie.

Okay, wait....

Jeff Bridges is returning, Daft Punk is doing the score, and some crazy designer is working on it?

I think I just scorched my shorts.

HD trailer looks awesome.

I'm in.

Oh, I forgot to mention...

Wait got it back, ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!?!

The Dude + 13 + Motherfucking DAFT PUNK!!??? IN ONE MOVIE????

It's official, I have just ruined my last pair of clean gym shorts.

Can this much AWESOME fit in one movie? Won't this much awesome defile the laws of physics?

It didn't dawn on me to check the acutal URL that the video came from, looks like they started with the viral sites already.

UPDATE 7/24

FLYNN’S ARCADE WILL BE OPEN AGAIN ON FRIDAY THE 24th @ 9PM UNTIL ???

Thursday’s meet-up was an enormous success!!

Thanks to everyone who came to support our continued efforts to find out what happened to Kevin Flynn.

Genius, Visionary, Modern Hero.

That is Kevin Flynn.

He came into our lives and showed us the limitless possibilities of the future. And then, all of a sudden, he "disappeared."

Some people believed he died. We don't. We know that Kevin Flynn Lives.

We're not crazy, we're not obssessed, we're not lunatics. We simply have followed the facts wherever they lead. And the facts tell us that Kevin Flynn Lives.

We are here for Kevin. Nobody can make us stop believing that he is out there, that he's waiting for us, and that he will return when the time is right.

HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR MOVEMENT
1989 -- Kevin Flynn alleged to "disappear." Initial facts raise many questions. Many of us were suspicious.

1990 -- Sightings of Kevin Flynn by ordinary citizens, including high-credibility "Level 3" sightings of Flynn in NYC's Central Park during a Shakespeare Festival, on the fringes of a San Francisco street fair, and the notorious "Elvira" sighting of Kevin Flynn at Halloween celebrations in West Hollywood, California. Unfortunately, these initial sightings display certain characteristics true to this day -- nothing has been confirmed and photographic evidence has been lacking.

1992 -- Sightings continue. Several of us make contact thru Usenet and begin correspondence.

1994 -- First Flynn Lives! meet-up in Dayton, Ohio. We resolve to continue our efforts to find out the facts behind the mysterious disappearance.

1998 -- Letter from Kevin Flynn to a founding member of the group gains media attention, then debunked. Founding member (now ex-member) checks into a mental hospital for observations.

2001 -- A $5,000 award is offered to anybody who can prove Kevin Flynn is alive. By December 31st, alas, nobody had satisfied our jury and the money was spent on a great party for all of the "Troniacs" we know and love!

2002 - 2005 An era of low visibility for our group. Sightings drop off, and interest seems to slacken. Thank heavens that is over!

2007 - Interest picks up as the "Albino Cow" Flynn sighting in southern New Jersey energizes a new generation of activists.

Hi Res versions of the shaky cam in the OP.

Flynn Lives

:) you missed the bump of the old thread... the OP was so Comic Con 2008, but the new link is Comic Con 2009!

OMFG!!! Just looked at flynnlives...this looks amazing! I can't believe it! I am so stoked for this movie!!

huh. So am I the only one that google mapped the address on that page? You can zoom in on the building front. I wonder if they set that up as a clue for the whole "find Flynn" thing.

Comic-Con 2009: A real-life Flynn's Arcade

it was part of the comic con experience...

I'm pretty sure Flynn is inside my iPod battling Ryan Adams and the Cardinals in a round of lightcycles.

Holy shit is about the biggest understatement ever. I saw the preview in 3d before Alice, not knowing it was going to be there, and I was bouncing all over my seat. My wife was quite embarrassed.

And I was GLEEFUL.

I just had a nerdgasm.

It gets better: That's Olivia Wilde at 1:33.

WANT. DOUBLE WANT.

I'm breaking out the Tron DVD tonight.

I don't know how I missed this thread, I've been nerdbonerraging about this to my friends for a long time. Purposely avoided avatar and alice in wonderland in 3d going "Im saving my 3d cherry for TRON!"

god damn my favorite childhood movie coming back, and jeff bridges is a cool dude, I'm so glad he accepted the role.

Ok, I'm really pumped about TRON. I'm really hoping that Disney doesn't cheezify the story too much, but I'm betting on it being kid-safe so I can take my nephews to see it for Christmas. I can't wait!

This is sooo cool, the movie that got me into computers... I cant wait.

"Like the man said, no problems... only solutions...."

Kevin Flynn, my hero

I can't wait for my birthday this year to see this.
