If you’re looking forward to TRON: Legacy, today is a great day. That’s because tonight is Tron Night, and Walt Disney is going to let a ton of moviegoers around the world catch an early glimpse of TRON: Legacy. I saw the footage a few weeks back and left the theater extremely impressed. I’m also going to see the footage again tonight in IMAX 3D, so look for a write-up later.
However, while you wait, how about three cool Tron stories. Up first is a minute clip from TRON: Legacy which features our first real look at Quorra (Olivia Wilde). If you’re going to Tron Night, you’ll see this in 3D and it leads to a very cool scene with Jeff Bridges. I won’t say more than that.
The other two Tron stories are our first look at the Daft Punk TRON: Legacy Medicom action figures and someone has cut together a “modern trailer” for the original Tron. Hit the jump for everything:
Here’s the Quorra Film Clip. Imagine watching this in 3D. It’s really great. Watch in HD on Apple.
Up next is a “modern trailer” for the original Tron. While I love the first Tron, I’ll admit it’s not a fast moving movie. However, this trailer tries to speed things up. Even though the trailer hit YouTube awhile back, I only saw it yesterday, so I figure a few of you have never seen it either. It’s quite good.
Finally, Medicom has created some Daft Punk TRON: Legacy action figures. Thanks to toyhaven you can check out 1:6 scale Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter figures. This movie is going to cost me a lot of money…

caught Tron Night this evening, and i have to say I’m disappointed, I was expecting it to better than the snoozefest original and from what I saw in this 23 minute sneak peak was wooden acting, a shitty script and some amazing visuals…kind of like the original, won’t be seeing this in theaters if at all.
THank you for the warning. I will let the hype die down and hopefully I will still dig it.
Yes seemingly great use of special effects but you can tell the direction is sub par. Although I was surprised by Quorra who comes off as Bill’s (From Bill and Teds excellent adventure), older skater sister.
Nice to see her show some range in her acting.
I was at a Tron Night Screening, and IMO, the scenes shown were excellent. I’ve been following and participating in the Flynn Lives campain as a player the alternate reality game, which has provided A LOT of backstory than enhances alot of elements of the film. I’ve been watching films for all my life for the past 30+ years, and IMO Garret Hedlunds acting was pretty good. Wooden? No it wasn’t. Within the context of the character and the scenes/the situation his character is in, he hits the right notes of his character and the emotional underpinings are expressed very well.
Want to see wooden acting? Watch a low-budget “SyFy” movie, or worse see terrible wincing-angst spewage in any of the Twilight films. Robert Pattenson’s acting in Twilight, now THAT’S wooden.
