Now called Tron Legacy
12:17PM - Introduction to Tron Legacy as it is now officially called. It looks like the title is Tron Legacy and not Tron 2 and not Tr2n.
12:18PM - Jeff Bridges talks about the title but says he's not going to explain it because he likes to know as little as possible. "It's about a sons search for his father." When we made that in 81, there was no internet.
12:19PM - "It wasn't a hard movie to recruit people for" because everyone was a fan of the original. We've got another year of work to do, so there's not a lot of show yet "in the world of Tron" but I did bring a couple of concept images.
12:20PM - The world of Tron is set on a server for 20 years kind of evolving on its own. More realistic, more darker, more visceral. Showing concept art photos of the new Recognizer ship floating through the city.
12:20PM - Going through concept art images showing us the world of Tron. Street of "Tron City" and an image of the "gladiator worlds" arena with Disc Wars. A glimpse of a disc game tournament in progress. 16 combatants are playing simultaneously. Eventually they play one-on-one eliminating each other and eventually get to the point where the last two people are fighting each other.
12:22PM - Showing some test footage of an athlete doing a slow-mo kick for the disc game. Looks awesome, he's flying through the air. Shot with the Phantom Camera. They are the first movie to the Phantom Camera in 3D.
12:23PM - Various vehicles of concept art. New vehicles including the "light runner" but like a light cycle except it carries two passengers and has four wheels. It can also turn into an off-road. The fifth generation light cycle concept art is shown (except the pictures to show up online later). Also showing a second generation light cycle that Kevin Flynn designed in 1989. Just a sneak peek of the concept art and what they're getting into now.
12:25PM - Steve Lisberger talking about how they're the right guys who came along 25 years later and "pulled the disc from the stone" (in a reference to King Arthur). It's a bit like the world of Tron and the story of Tron has come true (in this movie). It's like they really scanned Jeff Bridges and put him on a game grid. "It took 27 years to put a team together this good."
12:27PM - They did just finish filming but they cut a key scene together from the beginning of the movie in 2D.
12:30PM - Great scene where the main guy, Sam Flynn, goes into the old arcade because his friend received a fax from a number in his office. He walks through and flips on the lights then finds the Tron machine in the back. And he moves it away and there's a door in the wall behind it and walks through - it cuts.
