TRON LEGACY trailer officially online, is freaking gorgeous

Friday, July 24, 2009

I got a little swoony, seeing this trailer. I like how they seem to be really trying to keep the look consistent with the original film, while evolving it as if 25 years have really passed in the Tron world. These Tron lightcycles look like the originals the way a 2009 car looks like a 1982 car.

I just hope they don't go too dark with the story. The original film has some surprising grit to it, but it was ultimately kind of a big, pretty, family picture, and I don't relish the prospect of seeing some totally grim, cyberpunk version with a big "porno" district full of cyber-hookers and all that stuff.

Well, obviously it's a bit soon to be second guessing. Let's just bask in the neon glow of this trailer.

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
