Tron Sequel: TR2N Gets Official With Teaser Trailer

“Tron” was a movie that broke ground and opened entirely new directions for sci-fi films. It’s be just over 25 years since its release in 1982 and Disney felt that was the ideal time to delve right back in.

This weekend at Comic-Con Disney surprised its audience with a teaser trailer revealing current production on the sequel, “TR2N”. Below is a description from MTV as well as a poorly shot, but better than nothing, video of the teaser trailer itself. I’m definitely excited for the return of this story and relieved that they didn’t try to do it without Jeff Bridges.

MTV gives a play by play of the teaser trailer shown at Comic-Con:

- The Disney logo appears and quickly seems to get digitized.

- We pan over ominous clouds into a digital city landscape only to find a man in a updated “Tron” costume. He’s on the run.

- The man jumps into a brand new 2008 version of the familiar light cycle.

- And a huge chase ensues with a pursuer in a dark mask after our racer. Unlike cycle races of old this one goes up and down AND side to side.

- The chased man is vanquished, crashing horrible. As the pursuer gets off his cycle he pulls a familiar disc from his back. The winner looks up to a previously unseen observer.

- And the observer is…Jeff Bridges! An older (and now evil) Flynn?!? He rises from a meditative state in his watchtower to see the pursuer do his bidding.

- The vanquished man pleads to his pursuer. “It’s just a game!” And then the final big reveal: the pursuer takes off his helmet and he is also Bridges, a seemingly younger Bridges!

Update: Now with super crappy quality trailer from Comic-Con:
