The Real Tron 2 Trailer Makes Pants Wet Worldwide (VIDEO)

gizmodo.com — OMFG. It's the real one. "It's a tiny bootleg video. You can see that the 3D looks amazing, the new lightcycles are stunning (and move like real bikes), the world and the whole mood is Batman-like dark. And Jeff Bridges... well, he is Jeff Bridges. What can I say, he looks like a badass version of the Dude: "It's just a game!" YES!

  • papabean, on 07/26/2008, -4/+109Disbelief washes over me as I couldn't help but get the shakes when watching this. Please, for the love of all that's holy, don't screw this one up. My childhood memories have already suffered enough at the hands of a greedy Hollywood.

  • inactive, on 07/26/2008, -0/+49I hope they bring back Ram. When me and my friends used to play Tron outside, they used to make me be Ram so they could pummel me with Frisbees and kill me. I want retribution!!!!

  • drethedog, on 07/26/2008, -1/+35Oh Tron, getting the geeks goosebumps since early 80's....
  • inactive, on 07/26/2008, -1/+34As the article says: George Lucas is not involved.

    Your memories are a little safer now.
  • Ramble, on 07/26/2008, -2/+34A thousand nerds just orgasmed.
    Including me.
  • Tyrghast, on 07/26/2008, -2/+32I'm 19 and Tron was what my parents had me watch instead of Sesame Street or Barney. I love that movie so much.
  • T8erT0T, on 07/26/2008, -1/+31"You down with M-C-P?!"
    "Yeah! You, know, me!"
  • eboy, on 07/26/2008, -0/+29Holy *****... another reason to stick around.
  • Fixthemedia, on 07/26/2008, -3/+31I will see it as long as Shia LaBeouf is not involved.
  • hazard99, on 07/26/2008, -0/+28He's absolutely right........
  • rz8472, on 07/26/2008, -0/+24Needs Bruce Boxleitner.
  • BitKid, on 07/26/2008, -2/+26I'm waiting for Flight of the Navigator 2.
  • BestJaxx, on 07/26/2008, -0/+20I believe the term is "nerdgasm".
  • Tenlow, on 07/26/2008, -0/+19It really tied the room together.
  • banmaster, on 07/26/2008, -0/+18I want your parents!!
  • Radan, on 07/27/2008, -1/+19Yeah like The Dark Knight, Aliens or LOTR: The Two Towers.
  • Tyrghast, on 07/26/2008, -6/+24Unfortunately you don't banmaster. They have good taste in movies but they're ridiculous hyper-christian zealots who heap damnation on me any time I don't go to church with them.
  • Briii, on 07/26/2008, -3/+20yeah im 15 and i watched seen it and im excited about this too :)
  • cbergstrom, on 07/26/2008, -0/+16I'm 30, and ditto... this and WarGames and the 3000 times watching of each got me into tech... started programming when I was little and imagining Tron and Flynn running through the grid to access my programs. The password on all my early programs was "Joshua". Ah, memories.
  • inactive, on 07/27/2008, -0/+16I don't think I'm alone here when I say, ***** the teenagers. Every movie now tries too hard to appeal to 16 year olds and it ruins the movie. Transformers was good, but could have been so much better if they would have aimed it at the people that actually grew up loving the characters than trying to be too hip. For those of us that grew up in the 80's, we deserve this movie to be for us, and please leave out all the 1337 crap and no need for a love story of any kind. You see what happened to Indiana Jones and Star Wars when they try to bring in the kiddies. Lets hope this new Tron and even the new Star Trek will remember the people that actually enjoy the movies and to hell with the kids.
  • badfrog, on 07/26/2008, -1/+17Don't forget The Last Starfighter!
  • StrangeFamous, on 07/26/2008, -0/+15Tron is basically the most formative movie of my childhood. I rented Tron, played Super Mario Bros for the first time, and was never the same again...

    Jeff Bridges is Flynn... that's all I need to know at this point.
  • anagoge, on 07/26/2008, -3/+18I think I'm going to wait until I can watch it in something other than crappyovision. :)
  • shadowman99, on 07/26/2008, -1/+15In light of this awesome event I'll be playing GLTron. - GLtron.org
    You might also try out http://armagetronad.net/

    See you one the grid.
  • inactive, on 07/26/2008, -1/+15I like the free form cycling. You know, software upgrades! :-)

    It looks absolutely lickable.
  • LucasVB, on 07/26/2008, -3/+17"Zee"
  • innocentsinner, on 07/26/2008, -0/+12For many, only what they've seen in Kingdom Hearts II
  • klick37, on 07/26/2008, -0/+12I came.
  • tasithoughts, on 07/26/2008, -2/+14Wow!
  • yaddayaddayoda, on 07/26/2008, -0/+12The amazing part is that this was a total surprise. Nobody knew it was coming. The audience lost it when the light cycle materialized into place... and again when the "2" flickered into existence at the end. I would have loved to have been there!
  • motivatedguy, on 07/26/2008, -1/+12I wish someone had gotten the Wolverine footage but Tron 2 looks bad-ass!!
  • yaryarhumphump, on 07/26/2008, -0/+11and me
  • badfrog, on 07/26/2008, -3/+14My pants are wet.

    I also own a Tron arcade machine.
  • Inox555, on 07/27/2008, -1/+11In the original movie, the Light Cycles handled differently while they were on the Game Grid (i.e., they only made 90 degree turns). Once Flynn, Tron and RAM escaped the Game Grid, the Light Cycles handled more like their real-world motorcycle counterparts. For example, notice the lean of the green Light Cycle in this pic...

    The clip of "Tr2n" appears to show the new Light Cycles off of the Game Grid.
