Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Really looking forward to this for purely nostalgic reasons. Though probably not in 3d.

Im really looking forward to the Daft Punk score to the movie.

it does look darn pretty
but what the hell is the ROCK in a VIRTUAL world all about?

He totally got derezzed!

I've got a little challenge for you, Disney. A new Tron movie. It's a tough case, but I want it treated in the usual manner. Update the graphics, pack in the audience, and then blow them away...


(Let's hope.)

I'm hoping for the best, but reading the imdb tea leaves suggests some problems - too many writers and a huge question mark in the directors chair. Also, as much as I like Daft Punk, they don't have the chops to top Wendy/Walter Carlos' original score.

Well I loved this. Even if the movie turns out to be a pile of poo, at least this teaser was amazing. In 2010, I'll look back and remember how cool I thought this trailer was and how excited it made me about the movie. Please, please don't screw this up, Disney.

Someone made a movie with Windows Move Maker is what it looks like.

That's not a straight up VR World. Tron's more a fantasy universe like Middle Earth or the Star Wars Galaxy then a literal digital landscape. The "people" (minus one) are various bits of programming codes and scripts, etc.

If you try to think of their world as a Second Life or something certain things wont make sense. It's a fantasy universe using the internals of computer systems as the backdrop.

Plus that's taking place in a Light Cycle arena (game map), hence all the obstacles and spiral paths.

God I'm a geek.

i know that!
but everything else in the universe is a physical representation of data
a rock has absolutely no place being there
if there was a 'rock' - as in a 'rock obstacle' - it should appear blue and polygonal
you know, like the decaying data sectors in the original
it's not supposed to be like 'the matrix' for simulating reality, but a naive framework for conveying structure for program interaction
but this is a vfx test anyway.. so it is probable that some things will change

and i claim to be an even bigger geek!
a normal person would be embarrassed to get a rash over such a tiny detail

I refuse to see this movie on the grounds that the bikes don't turn at right angles anymore. Seriously, we can't let them get away with that shit.

Nice

I don't think we're gonna get that 'pure' of a rendering of the tron universe however. One could argue either way over which is right.. I mean they WHERE trying to render canyons and such in the original, especially near the end of the movie. Yeah, they didn't have the detail you see here, but they where blending and artistic basic look using mainly primitives, while pushing computer animation as far as they could take it for the time.

Should the Tron universe upgrade as the real world capabilities have? Is that "accurate" to do? Or should it remain as primitive looking as it did because that's what the Tron universe *is* (And yes, I completely see the logic to it looking as primitive as possible... but VERY GLOWY!)? Personally, I think it should fall into an artistic balance of the two (like what I believe they where trying to achieve with the original, it is partly fantasy after all). And with this scene taking place within a video game map also gives it a bit more leeway as modern games DO render such things.

Think I'll just stop here. >.>

Ah... My childhood in the hands of what is now a corporate nightmare...

I'll reserve judgement, but I can't help feeling like all my memories about the original are about to get raped...

You don't think they'd have upgraded their systems in the past ~30 years?

Ah crap. They're doing mo-cap humans?
I upvote the concept of Tron 2, but this video does not impress.

Oh give this 'raping my childhood' crap a rest.

Just because they make a new version of a movie it does NOT change your memories of the old one.

The old one remains... it's still there, you can watch it whenever you like. This ultra outrage over what could be a great new movie, or could be crap is bogus.

I had little to no interest in this... BUT

It looks very pretty.

And it has Jeff Bridges in it again... that's very cool, I did not know he was back.

Ah, the Big Tronbowski.

If Tron Guy ain't in it, it won't be worth seeing.

This isn't 'Nam, Disney. It's Tron. There are rules.

That's funny, I'd refuse to see it if the light-cycles did still turn at right angles. Like PHJF said above, they've upgraded their systems. Looks like fun!

Well, in the original movie the bikes didn't only turn in right angles, they could curve, provided no jet trail.

Wouldn't this be Tron 3?

Did they fire the idiot marketing guy who thought TR2N was an awesome idea?

Also, thanks to the moron who pasted an embed up there with no spaces in it.
The old sift used to just limit super long run garbage.

In this case, not only do I not have a hortizonal scroll bar (because it appears to only be respecting the comment text box size... but all the scomments are like 1280 px wide. So thanks you idiot who pasted superlongrunoncodecrapembedderpderpderp

Looks fun. Updated for the way video games look today, including mo-cap humans. Sure it may suck, but at least it will be pretty. I may even break my "no 3D movies" rule. Maybe.

I take it you didn't see Iron Man then.

I hope you plan to catch James Cameron's Avatar, they're going to be upgrading movie theaters everywhere to show that in 3-D.

You must be cuz I don't see anyone else here.

Use a name. Don't be afraid to point.

I meant in Tron, not in general

I have never seen the first Tron. Have I missed much?
