TRON
The name conjours up great memories. The first theatrical film to heavily use CGI throughout the storytelling process to create a world we have never seen before and possibly never again on the big screen.
Well that all changed at this years Comic-Con, where Disney secretly unvieled a very early trailer for TRON 2 or as they like to call it...
TR2N
Very cool. The audience went nuts for it and the net has been buzzing with excitement.
TRON was a movie definetly ahead of it's time, let's say over 25 years. It dealt with "NETWORKS" and "USERS" and Jeff Bridges getting sucked into the computer world becoming a virtual "AVATAR" of himself. The flick was groundbreaking and a hell of alot of popcorn summer fun.
Today, so much computer lingo has crept it's way into everyday language that we know what a "NETWORK" is. We are the "USERS". The concept of a guy getting sucked into a computer becoming his "AVATAR", or Nintendo "Mii" or Second-Life or The Sims "AVATAR" has become common place in the today's tech age. We now get it, we only had to see it.
An official version of the teaser trailer hasn't been released yet, however here is a fuzzy cellphone cam version, hidden within the depths of the internet.
Jim Hill Media has an excellent article on it. Click me!
