Tron Legacy trailer - Den of Geek
Hmmmm. Might be worth seeing. Kinda true to the original in appearance.

I can't imagine that this will be any good. Original TRON was absolutely awful and we wouldn't have liked it at all except that it was somewhat related to video games which were new and exciting at the time.
More useless trivia: the Inteliivison game "Tron and the Deadly Discs" was actually produced before the movie was released. The game art was created based on the storyboards, which is why the game takes place on the light cycle grid, even though it's a disc battle.Small fact - Tron only contained about 15-20 minutes of computer animation - everything else was with actors filmed on an all-black set. Back lit animation was then painstakingly added to each frame by hand (multiple times for each frame). The differing qualities and ages of the film used made for that flickering effect of the lighting. The production effort was so disjointed, that the animators couldn't keep their colors straight from scene to scene.
<geek>I love TRON. I've seen it dozens of times. I own two copies of the DVD - one a special edition signed by Cindy Morgan, and Tron and the Deadly Discs was my all-time favorite game for the Intellivision. It's why I wrote an entire Inty emulator </geek
