Tron 2

[The Phalanx]

http://www.filmstalker.co.uk/archives/2008/07/tr2n_tron_2_trailer_online.html

...not sure if want.

[JH Sounds]

Didn't they already release that?

[The Pezman]

It seems a rarity for film directors and writers in this day and age to come up with a quality, ORIGINAL story that is not blatantly based on something else.

Wall-E is the only recent exception I can think of.

[Skummel Maske]

..I didn't even like Tron.

[Antipode]

I think it's great. Tron 2.0 (the PC game) was vastly under-appreciated and I think any effort to revitalize Tron is fine by me.

Come on, Tron is awesome and cheesy and 80s and great and it has Jeff Bridges. How can you go wrong?

[JH Sounds]

Tron 2.0 (the PC game)

I guess that's what I was thinking of.

[The Coop]

Tron was a cheesy and mindless 80s movie, but it was a fun watch (like a lot of 80s movies). Bringing Jeff Bridges back for the sequel is cool, and hopefully it'll be as enjoyable as the first.

[Sinewav]

Yeah... not enough original movies.

But at least it's a movie WORTH getting a sequel, instead of yet another Alien Vs. Predator or something.

[Nutritious]

Coop pretty much summed it up here.

This, along with the original Star Wars series, was a movie from my childhood. I really don't want to see it messed up (again, like Star Wars).

[Poke'G]

I loved TRON. When I was little I would rent it all the time.

I can't believe the sequel finally escaped Production Hell, and am more excited than ever.

[JH Sounds]

...and Daft Punk is doing the film score (http://upcomingfilmscores.blogspot.com/2009/03/daft-punk-tron-20.html).

[Antipode]

Yeah I dunno about that. I mean, it's cool they're doing a film score and all, but I can't see their style fitting the movie unless they're changing the style a lot from the original, or unless the score they make is very different from their popular music.

[Hum4n After All]

They can do it.
A music artist can do anything.
I'm pretty sorta sure the score won't sound anything like their music.
Sure it may be electronic but a different style for a Disney movie.
BT has done movie scores and they don't sound anything like his music.

[Weirdboyscott]

Everybody confuses the new Tron movie with the Tron game they made a while back, and I don't blame them. The game is Tron 2.0 and since that name was already taken they had to name the new movie TR2N. Despite the stupid name I am glad theres going to be a sequel Tron, as it was an obscure part of my childhood.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Pixar handling this movie? I had heard that the live action bits in Wall-E were in preparation for TR2N.

From what I've heard, Tron 2.0 was to coincide with the movie. Unfortunately, the movie fell into production hell, but Disney and the Company making the game, was more than determined to bring the game out.

As for Pixar handling the cg? That's really a good thing, if that's true.

[JH Sounds]

New Daft Punk music? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Va-05JPQ5Xk&fmt=18) omfg...

Also the film is called Tron Legacy now.

EDIT: longer vid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrew4XtbjrU&fmt=18)

[Dj Mokram]

The first TRON's music is stuck in my mind for some odd reason...
I can't believe they're resurrecting that monster. So are they going to make it entirely in CG?

[Bleck]

I can't see their style fitting the movie

I think two guys who dress like robots and wrote an entire album based around the idea of technology vs humanity are probably able to write a film score about a computer world

[HitoriJaNai]

I've seen the trailer they had at Comic Con for Tron: Legacy. So far, it doesn't look too bad... kinda good, actually. :-P

Also, for those who have seen it, does anyone else think Jeff Bridges looks a bit ominous? Like he's not a good guy anymore? :shock:

[BlackPhantom]

I never saw the original, but this could be good.

[JH Sounds]

Oh, and the HD trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwXOGigbxHs), for those who haven't seen it.

[Hum4n After All]

Almost corrupted or lost his mind.
Or just simply doesn't give damn anymore.

[Ninja-san]

Not the sequel I had in mind... Like what others have said, nothing in that trailer is original. The plugsuits arent exciting at all and I think thats whats making me sad ):

[Ferret]

I don't really give a damn whether original or not.

I care about new Tron movie = fucking YES OVERRIDE

[JH Sounds]

Ohey new trailer:

http://www.program-glitch-esc.net/

[Abadoss]

*twitch* Uh... what?

[Hum4n After All]

Holy Fucking Shit! Fucking Dinosaur! Jesus Christ! What The Fuck!!??
Sorry.
1080p looked incredible and the music was fucking dope!
So scratchy and heavily distorted.
Oh man Daft Punk was the best and the wisest choice to do the soundtrack for this movie.

[HitoriJaNai]

Well, this is certainly piquing my interest more and more after every new trailer!

Also, I don't know if it explained it quite as well in the trailer, but apparently Kevin Flynn, Jeff Bridges' character, disappeared some time after becoming the CEO of the company that had used his technology, and what's most interesting is that he put himself back into the Tron world. Not to mention that his son, back in the real world, carries on the torch and ends up finding his dad inside the world. :-o

Also... Olivia Wilde for the win. Just saying. :lol:

[Abadoss]

Considering the first movie is a bit of an acid trip to begin with, I'm not sure how well I'm going to remember the plot points of the first one going into the second one... Weird. I can't believe they're actually doing another one. I suppose the technology is better than it was in the 80's. It might age better than the original did. Who knows...

[relyanCe]

...and Daft Punk is doing the film score (http://upcomingfilmscores.blogspot.com/2009/03/daft-punk-tron-20.html).

wow awesome

december is gonna rock

[The Pezman]

This is completely changing the tone. I'm not sure if I like it becoming just another action series...

[Toadofsky]

wow awesome

december is gonna rock

I'm in total agreement, even though I hate cold weather now....

The music sounds great, I hope we get a little more tidbits later on of it...

I'm actually very optimistic about this movie, even if the original was before my time.

[Strike911]

I guess I should get around to watching Tron one of these days...

... not entirely sure how I managed to avoid seeing it this long.

[Poke'G]

I don't know... the idea that Flynn has a secret office in his arcade hidden behind a Tron machine...

...but damn those are some sweet visuals and music.

[Sporknight]

At this point, I'm looking at this one like I did Avatar - I'm in for the awesome visuals and special effects (and music, this time). I have no compelling loyalty to the original Tron, so I'm not going to judge on plot for now. But I will see it in theatres.

[LuckyXIII]

Has anyone seen this, yet?

http://www.arcadeaid.com/challengingstage/

Part of the Tron Legacy viral marketing. Apparently if you can name all 56 games alluded to in this picture you'll get a free Encom badge.

I'm up to 32 and plateau-ing at this point...

I'm up to 36. There's a few that I feel I should know the answer to, but can't quite form the title.

{edit} - I'm up to 44, but I'm a little stuck now...

[The Coop]

Shame none of the downloads work. All I ever get is a 189KB file that does nothing.

[Hum4n After All]

Awh. I only have 26 at the moment.
I'm hungry.

[Gollgagh]

how the hell is that rocket on the right not Starship Command?

[Abadoss]

how the hell is that rocket on the right not Starship Command?

Because it's not. You're half right.

[Gollgagh]

22 and I'm stuck

[Hale-Bopp]

I'm up to 38 and stuck.

[Hy Bound]

how the hell is that rocket on the right not Starship Command?

You're close

I can't figure out the owl with the crown, the snake in the soup, the guy with the frisbee at the bottom and the fire engine. Otherwise, i have them all.

[Ajax]

I got 30, not bad, but nothing special.

You're close
I can't figure out the owl with the crown, the snake in the soup, the guy with the frisbee at the bottom and the fire engine. Otherwise, i have them all.

I got the fire engine one on my first try with a wild guess, never heard of the game that goes with it though lol.

Also, I am saddened that the tiger-copter is not Flying Tigers (http://www.dosgamesarchive.com/download/flying-tigers/), spent a lot of time playing that game.

[Hy Bound]

I totally thought it had to be the Flying Tigers. WTF! I still cant figure out the fire engine one though... oh, and the guy on the left with the star on his shirt...

[MajLink]

Too excited for Tron 2 right now.

[Abadoss]

Some of them are pretty stupid.

!!!SPOILERS!!!
Tiger-copter = Tiger Heli
Guy with star on his star = Stargate (It's Bill Gates with a star on him...)
Owl with crown = Birdie King (what the hell?)
Snake in soup = Super Cobra
Guy with frisbee = Discs of Tron (I know, stupid)
Fire engine = Firetruck (believe it or not)
Rocket = Missile Command (took me forever until I realized I was spelling "missile" wrong)
!!!END SPOILERS!!!

Let me know if you need any of the other ones...

[Hum4n After All]

…and the fire engine.
…WTF! I still cant figure out the fire engine one though...

I really didn't want to do this but I just have to because of the simplicity of it.
It's just
"Firetruck"
That's it.
I had no clue either so I just typed it in and tada!
Correct.

Sorry.
My apologies.

[Poke'G]

Yeah, there are apparently some really obscure games on here. I got that and a few others by guessing the near obvious, despite never hearing of them before.

I'm at 45.

[Darklink42]

I've gotten 40 so far, although I did use two of Abadoss's hints. There are a couple that I feel like I should know, and there are several that I just don't have a clue on, like the meats boxing and the dude with his eye out. Embarrassingly enough, I don't know what to put for the light cycles either.

I did get the pie one though, which wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it was when I first looked at it.

Edit: Completely stuck at 43 now. Got the soldiers one, and the light cycles. I'm stumped after that.

[LuckyXIII]

like the meats boxing and the dude with his eye out.

Dude - Food Fight!

However, I also don't know the eye one and a few more....

[LuckyXIII]

The cracked TV screen?
The guy on the roof in a pie...?? wtf
goldeneye....


Homerun and Shadow of the Colossus took me a few days....

Jumping out of the window? fallout...
Dueling violinists?

[Darklink42]

Here's how I got some of those:
Pie: Look at what the guy inside the pie is holding in his hands
TV: The T.V. isn't cracked, it's ____
Cat: It's not about the cat, but what the arrow is pointing at specifically.
Window: Think about whether or not the guy actually jumped or had an accident.


If you absolutely can't get it:

Pie= Spy Hunter
TV= Smash TV
Cat= Golden Eye
Window= Fall Out
End spoilers

I don't know what's with the violinists either.

[Binjovi]

I got the violinists and the guy with his eye out. For the violinists, think about the name of the things they're holding up. For the eye guy, think about the action that his eye is making.

[Abadoss]

For the light cycles, consider the thread title here...

[LuckyXIII]

Finally figured out the window guy...falling...externally...

The cat with the expensive eye finally made sense.

The meta-reference of the light cycles dawned on me as well.

I lack only 3! The rock which looks like it's running (jumping?)

Still can't get the dangling eye.

And the pink car... :(

Anyone else need any hints on the others?

[Binjovi]

I lack only 3! The rock which looks like it's running (jumping?)

It's running. Try to think of synonyms for what seems to be going on there.

Still can't get the dangling eye.

What sound might an eye coming out of someone's socket make?

And the pink car... :(

I'm stuck on that one as well. The only other one I need is the daisy.

[LuckyXIII]

It's running. Try to think of synonyms for what seems to be going on there.

I was thinking of rush, or rushing...but I can't seem to get it.



What sound might an eye coming out of someone's socket make?

OH!!!


I'm stuck on that one as well. The only other one I need is the daisy.

The daisy, or, uh, flower, is in the same vein as the firetruck in terms of self-reference.

[Binjovi]

Funny. I typed in the correct name for the daisy many times, but it must have timed out on me or something, 'cause I had to refresh for it to accept it.

I was thinking of rush, or rushing...but I can't seem to get it.

You're getting closer. Also, don't just think of synonyms for run...

EDIT: Just got the pink car. Think less of the car and more about what the "D" bubble is pointing to in particular.

[Nutritious]

I'm stuck on that one as well. The only other one I need is the daisy.

Daisy is the most straightforward one of the whole thing, I think, which I why I couldn't get it without help. I'd also never heard of the game.

As for the car, it's pretty stupidly hard :). I'm not even sure I could give a decent hint without giving it away.

[Darklink42]

So the ones I've got left are the wolf head (I feel I should know that one), the Golden T, the car (something to do with either bumper or grill right?), the star tower, the skateboarder, the halved clock (I really hate that I can't figure that one out), the paper doll, The book with the devil in it?, and the pirate.

Edit: Wow, I just tried the first thing that came to mind when I logged back in for the wolf and was right.

[LuckyXIII]

the Golden T, the car (something to do with either bumper or grill right?), the star tower, the skateboarder, the halved clock (I really hate that I can't figure that one out), the paper doll, The book with the devil in it?, and the pirate.



spell out "T"
the car is killing me
not a tower, but a larger structure that has many towers
how many rotations is he doing?
not just halving, but splitting
it's a boy
that's not the devil it's a ram on a page
pirate??

and what's the freakin' rock? stone? jogging? thing???!!?

[Darklink42]

I don't get what you mean by rotations for the skateboarder. And now I just need the pirate as well and I've got them all.

And if you think about another word for a large, round rock, you might be closer to figuring out what it is. It was an old NES game, which was a lot of fun.

I just got the car one too. It's a different name for the bumper.

[LuckyXIII]

I don't get what you mean by rotations for the skateboarder.
How many degrees is he spinning?


And if you think about another word for a large, round rock, you might be closer to figuring out what it is. It was an old NES game, which was a lot of fun.

JUST GOT IT.

JUST GOT THE CAR - are you kidding me??! rassumfrassum...

[LuckyXIII]

Thanks for your help guys! Going to infiltrate Encom now! Well, in 2-3 weeks...

Oh, where's the pirate you're referring to, Darklink? I can't re-find it...

[Darklink42]

#15 right next to the tree with the ring over it and under the soldiers around the car. Bottom left-ish. I finally got the skater by the way.

[LuckyXIII]

Ah - I thought so. Dunno if it's actually a pirate or not, but look at what he's doing to his face. Also shares the name of a popular John Woo/Nicolas Cage/Travolta actioner.

[Abadoss]

I think we're at the point where we can just list the whole damn thing. Yes?

[Hale-Bopp]

My Encom badge is well on its way to me. I'm such a nerd sometimes. :lol:

[LuckyXIII]

Abadoss: I concur.

Hale-Bopp: I'll see your nerdness and raise you 299 Space Credits; this is the most interaction I've had with not only forum members, but actual remixers ever since I've been on the site. Generally I don't have a lot of time or experience to contribute to threads, but I've been here since the time of Unmod and have largely lurked over the years. I gotta say, it's been really cool, albeit via minor interactions. :) I'm a big fan of your mixes - both you and Abadoss, and to all of y'all in this thread I actually kind of feel like a part of the community in a small way.

One day I'll make it to a meet-up....

[Darklink42]

Thanks for the help too LuckyXII. I can't wait to see my Encom badge in the mail too.

[Hale-Bopp]

Right on, Lucky! We both got lurker blood.

So, when do we start work at Encom? I'm sick of my current day job.

[LuckyXIII]

Orientation is two weeks from tomorrow, starting at 8AM.

Amidst all the regular paperwork (W-4s and whatnot) I heard there are some weird kinds of waivers we have to sign - indemnity clauses or something? I got something similar from Aperture, but never heard back from their HR lady; Gladys or something...

Anywho...!

[Darklink42]

Looks like I'm working for Encom now. Got my badge, and got introduced to their system, just have to see what's going on from there.

[LuckyXIII]

Same here! Sure came quickly, too... I am so using this lanyard for my teacher ID badge now!

[Hale-Bopp]

I think this might be where us encom newbies log in: http://www.encominternational.com/employeeintranet/ :nicework:

[LuckyXIII]

I think this might be where us encom newbies log in: http://www.encominternational.com/employeeintranet/ :nicework:

Ah, thanks Hale - ...Bopp. I was on the main site linked from FlynnLives.com but couldn't find anywhere to log in. How'd you come across it?

[Hale-Bopp]

I googled "encom employee identification" and got the info from another website.

[Toadofsky]

Just recieved my ENCOM badge, did anyone else?

[Darklink42]

Dang, yours took a while to get there. I've had mine since the 18th when I posted. Go check out the site that Hale-bopp linked.

[Darklink42]

So the ARG is back to life again. Anyone else followed through to this far? I've got some sweet pins, a postcard, and several awesome stickers from following the clues and so forth.

Also, easter eggs:

+ Go to TronSoundtrack.com, and click on the "Tron: Legacy" logo.

+ Click anywhere outside of the highlighted boxes on the side walls of the site.

+ Then, in the black space, type in the code "derezzed." (Note: No field will pop up.) An audio clip of Daft Punk's score for "Tron: Legacy" will then play.

+ We've also got a little Easter egg for you. Right-click and view source for an extra surprise.

EDIT: Direct link to teaser track http://www.tronsoundtrack.com/audio/derezzed.mp3

[Kenogu Labz]

There's a couple other easter eggs; just watch the keyboard on the bottom, and the rest should be straightforward.

It'll be interesting seeing if a soundtrack in this style appeals to Joe Q. Public as much as it does to your average computer nerd or gamer.

[Darklink42]

Arcade aid is back up with a new quiz. I know we all had a fun time last time getting all of them last time. Let's do it again.

[Ajax]

I got 98 before realizing that I should have been studying for my Japanese quiz tomorrow. I might try again for more.

[Hemophiliac]

I was over at Disneyland recently and they have a huge deal going on where they're promoting this with an event called "ElectTRONica" a recreation of Flynn's arcade and live music and other events are there...

to the point...

there's a theater playing a 9 minute preview of the movie, needless to say I got to watch this.

BLOWN AWAY

I can't wait to see this movie now, every aspect of this movie is going to be amazing.

The preview even shows that there's a cameo by daft punk.

:D
