Excuse me, but... OH MY GOD!!!!

Ganked from telepresence, who is over there also geekgasming over this. He has more to say about it over in his post, but, apparently, at Comic Con, Disney just put this on the end of its video presentation. There has been absolutely no word leaked of this. NONE. No fanfare, just, there it is.

eta: I just want to say that one of the things I love about watching stuff like this is getting to hear the audience/fan reaction as they figure out what they're watching. (After watching this one, I went and watched the ComicCon footage of the Iron Man presentation last year. Same thing.)

I think I already knew about this, but I don't know how... it just didn't come as a surprise *shrug*

Random.

You must be psychic, then. ;-) Or else you have some really incredible source. I only say that because telepresence is my go-to guy for "plugged in to geeky production rumors", and if he says that even he hadn't hear a whiff of this, then I take that to mean there was almost nothing out there in the rumor mill.

Well, there's always some possibility I missed it. But setting aside the regular pulses of rumor about remakes of any number of geek favorites, I hadn't heard anything about an actual production starting up with, you know actors and scripts and budgets and such, no.

What? No, I'm sure I'd heard about this! I swear there was a "Tron? REALLY, universe?" reaction in my fairly recent past.

[wadjet-theperv.livejournal.com]

It's completely random. I just *knew* they were remaking this movie, and I'm not plugged into anything.

Unless I'm plugged in and don't know about it...

Oooh I remember now! It was a trailer for a movie I took the kids to see. Kung Fu Panda! That was it!!

I'm so glad I remembered LOL

They've been talking about a remake of Tron for several years now. Good to see they're finally doing it.

Right; but for all of that "talk", there hadn't been more substantial rumors of any actual serious production having been started. Or Jeff Bridges having been signed. Stuff like that. I find this clip intriguing because it's *not* just f/x animation, but involves Bridges (and other actors). It just has less of a feel of "this is what we could do" and more of "this is what we are going to do".

Oh fun! There's a part of Broadgate that I always walk across if I'm passing through Liverpool Street Station, that has a colour-changing neon grid set into the pavement - it always makes me think of that film. :)
