FRACKING TRON!!

So Comic-Con is going and has brought some awesome stuff to our interwebs. First off, the awesome TR2N (aka TRON 2.0) test footage that was screened last year and, up till now, has only existed as a bad bootleg online, is now online in Quicktime format, now with the title of TRON: LEGACY. You can view some gorgeous concept artwork in this article.

They're really going all out for this at the convention. They apparently had a sweet viral marketing thing going on at the con that involved blacklight codes that eventually formed to coordinates on a map that led to a location where they recreated Flynn's Arcade, complete with playable versions of the games from the first movie (such as Space Paranoids).

And that led to a secret area where a lifesize replica of a lightcycle was on display (seemingly accompnied by a clip of the new movie's score by Daft Punk!).

You can check out some videos of that awesomeness here.

It'll be awesome to see how this film turns out- TRON was so far ahead of it's time it was almost unappreciatable when it came out, and now technology and video games have moved so far ahead of that.
