Aint It Cool News Breaks The Story

I guess I should give credit where credit is due, even if it means giving props to that furry SOB that runs AICN. (just kidding Harry)

We should all be so lucky to have fans of our creative endevours half as big as Mr. Knowles is of TRON, in all it's incarnations. The man has been on the ball for many years keeping his eye out for TRON news and although Disney made him pull the video link from his site, Quint's original post with the video description is still there.


Three minutes of TRON 2 shown at the Disney panel at Comic-Con!

Quint also came up with a few tidbits from a "reliable source" that are interesting.

- The 3 minutes is a promo, not from the film itself.

- It was directed by Joe Kosinski, who is also slated to direct the feature. If you own an Xbox 360 you probably know his work with his awesome CG animated commercials for GEARS OF WAR and HALO 3.

- The footage was originally done to be shown in stereoscopic 3-D, but the right eye wasn't finished in time, so it screened in 2-D.

- The Evil Flynn from the piece, the badass 1982 Flynn that takes a disc to that poor blue bastard, is apparently Flynn's program from the original, Clu, not Flynn himself.


Harry would say about having to take the video down:

"Disney asked that I pull the link - and they seemed to insinuate the possibility that they'll be doing a right awesome version... maybe... if we all by year round tickets to Disneyland. I got mine!"

Hopefully that means the rumored 3D version may be right around the corner. Now if I can just find those glasses I stole from Captain EO when I was 16 I'll be good to go.
