Tron Legacy trailer

If Mark rhapsodises any more about the new Tron movie, he might accidentally de-rez...

With excitement levels peaking so high I actually knocked my coffee cup over onto my keyboard, the trailer for Tron Legacy has landed beyond the walls of Comic-Con. And it's good. My, is it good.

The CGI looks gorgeous, nostalgia levels are well and truly milked - although I would've preferred to watch the über-cool frisbee game myself - and an appearance from Jeff Bridges (possibly two - is that a young CGI-ed Jeff from behind the visor?) is more than welcome.

With a musical score courtesy of Daft Punk and some 3D effects that will hark back to the days when special effects really were special, this could be brilliant. God, I hope so. We'll have to wait until 2010 to find out. Can. Not. Wait.

For more on the film, head for the official site and have a gander at the trailer below.

Did I mention that I was ridiculously excited?

The de-aged Bridges looked a bit pap - the rest looked cool...though veering towards Speedracer territory.

I'm real excited for it, I just hope they don't mess it up. Hopefully there's an actual story here and not just a nostalgic excuse to show off a load of CGI.

I was mildly curious at best for this until I saw the trailer. And now? Well, if I were a boy I would have a full on Tron-boner. And now that I know Daft Punk did the score? YAH. Awesome.

You are alone. That looked fan-fliping-tasctic! I saw Tron in the cinema back when I was a kid. That trailer just sent a thril up my spine. Wow! The film best live up to it now.

Wow. I had zero interest in a Tron sequel (I've always thought the original had an interesting story, but an awful script) but, suddenly, I find myself very, very interested. And Jeff Bridges returns! Woo-hoo! One of my favourite, semi-underrated actors (like Sam Neill)! My only complaint: the de-aged Bridges looks a bit off...hopefully they can fix this before 2010.

This looks amazing! Hope the trailer isn't promising what the film might not deliver. But trailers tend to do that...

i'm wth rebeldog, the trailer looks pap. the inclusion of jeff bridges is a nice touch but the effects look terrible, not even as good as the original.
