In partnership with Walt Disney Studios Canada, The GATE is giving away double passes to advanced screenings of Tron: Legacy in Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver, Edmonton, Ottawa, and Winnipeg, not to mention a chance to win a grand prize of Tron: Legacy swag.
A chill-inducing new trailer for Disney’s Tron: Legacy debuted today following a session at the San Diego Comic-Con where fans had a chance to hear the film’s stars speak about the upcoming film.
This is what I call fan-made excellence. Check out YouTube user DrewboiX’s reworking of the original 1982 Tron movie trailer.
The first full trailer for Disney’s Tron Legacy debuted this weekend ahead of Alice in Wonderland in IMAX 3-D, and now online fans can enjoy the same happiness as the trailer makes its way to the web.
Disney has released a new photo from Tron: Legacy, giving fans another peek at Jeff Bridges’ role in the upcoming sequel.
While no new details have emerged about the film, it’s interesting to note that Bridges’ is wearing an “Identity Disc”.
Spike hosted the 2009 Video Game Awards last night, with the top award for game of the year going to PlayStation’s Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Since I’m not much of a fan of game awards though, I won’t get much into that.
Last Friday was a very good day for me and a couple of hundred other Tron fans. Sitting in a meeting room at the Metro Toronto Convention centre while a Daft Punk track played on repeat, I waited with a packed room full of fans intent on a hour-long event with film producer Justin Springer, who was in town to talk about his new film, Tron Legacy.
The 2009 San Diego Comic-con has been a hotbed of movie-pimping madness, highlighted by one big trend: 3-D movies. At the top of that list are films like James Cameron’s Avatar, which debuts later this year, and Disney’s long-awaited sequel, Tron Legacy.
Another year, and another missed San Diego Comic-Con. That place is where dreams come true, big screen legends walk amongst the freakish and the geekish, and surprises are apparently around every corner.
