A brief teaser trailer has been released for the upcoming TRON Legacy video game, based on the movie sequel.

You can view this teaser video by clicking HERE.

The full trailer for the game will air on Spike TV's 2009 Video Game Awards show on December 12th at 8PM Eastern.

There are no details about the gameplay or what platforms the game is coming to, at this time. But earlier rumors suggest that the game will appear on the PC, 360, and PS3. It is also rumored that Propaganda Games (a division of Disney Interactive Studios) is working on the game.

Thanks to ShadowDragon1 for the news.

With all of the excitement surrounding the TRON Legacy sequel, Flynn's Arcade, and the concept footage trailer that was recently released, it's possible that people may have forgotten about the other new source of TRON entertainment that was recently released.

Co-written by Landry Walker (one of our very own members here on TRON-Sector) and Eric Jones, illustrated by Michael Shoyket, and published by SLG Publishing: the TRON: Ghost in the Machine graphic novel collects all 6 individual issues of the previously released comic into one book.

If you missed out on the previous run, now is your chance to grab all the issues together in one trade paperback at a good price. It's available from both SLG Publishing and Amazon.com, and can be had for as low as $14.96 U.S. before shipping. Or, you should be able to order it at your local comic book store.

The title says it... the official title of the sequel will be TRON: Legacy.

Flynn Lives!
Home of Tron

Yesterday, editors from /film, Ugo.com, ComingSoon.net, FirstShowing.net and IGN received mysterious envelopes that contained a USB flash drive and two arcade coins from Flynn's Arcade!

The coins say Flynn's Arcade and Home of Tron on both sides, while the USB drive contained an animated GIF file that displayed encrypted html/css code. The editors realized that the other drives that contained different parts to the code. A user from MacHeist.com deciphered the code which turned out to be an HTML table revealing the words, Flynn Lives!

Shortly after the code was cracked, the two viral ad sites, FlynnLives.com and Home Of Tron launched. Both sites reveals a bit of info about what happened between Tron 1 and 2. If you click on the gridbug on the bottom of the Flynn Lives page, it will take you to a countdown timer that will end on Thursday, July 23rd, 12:30 am EST (9:30 pm PST). What will happen when the timer reaches zero? No one know, but it's definitely going to be awesome!

Many thanks to Maxiekat and isMetaClass for bringing this to our attention.

Sorry for the lack of updates, but as you know news updates on the movie are few and far between.

Two British actors have joined the cast of TRON 2...James Frain and Michael Sheen. While Sheen hasn't confirmed reports that he joined the cast of TRON 2, there is a fair amount of evidence that points to him being in the movie.

Production of the movie is still on-going and is scheduled to be finished in July of this year. According to a forum post on Tron 2's page on IMDb, the computer world portion of the movie in being filmed in a studio in Burnaby, BC and the actors take three hours to get into their costumes and two hours to get out.

Be sure to mark your calenders for July 22nd to the 27th! During that time, the new TRON 2 trailer will be shown at Comic Con '09 in San Diego. Hopefully Disney will release this one to the public soon. *crosses fingers*

Last but not lease, we have created the TRON 2 Cheat Sheet to help keep track of all the info about the movie. There is a section of the sheet that has spoilers so beware!!!

After the news of renaming the sequel from TR2N to TRZ to TRON 2 to finally just TRON and trying out experimental changes to the logo, us Tron fans have been getting really tired of this name and logo-changing nonsense. Fortunately, some really juicy details about the sequel have finally come in. Our good friend TronFAQ has told us that production has finally started and that /film displayed some of the first images from the set of Tron 2 on their website: a picture of the ENCOM headquarters and an actor in a program suit!

According to Zack, the person that obtained the ENCOM building photo:

They have been spending some crazy money here. They have been blocking off huge main sections of downtown [Vancouver] for some pretty awesome looking action scenes. I saw tons of police cars chasing a guy hanging on to the top of a taxi. There were huge cranes holding up a stunt wire rig rig like I have never seen before. There is definitely some impressive non light cycle real life action in this movie. They have also transformed the tallest building in the city with huge ENCOM logos and futuristic lighting. I was in total awe of how much equipment and gadgets they had. Everything I’ve seen them doing in the last five days is easily some of the most expensive stuff I’ve ever seen. It’s probably is $300 million, even if it’s Canadian dollars. I only managed to grab this crappy still with the big logo and some futuristic room above.

Earlier this week, a user on YouTube posted a video of stunt for Tron 2 that involved a real motorcycle.

Looks like things are shaping up really well in Vancouver!!

EDIT: Don't worry! This was just an April Fools joke. - Mr. Sinistar

BREAKING NEWS: In a surprise announcement, it has been reported that director Joseph Kosinski recently stormed off the set of TRON 2 mid-way through principal photography, because of creative differences with the producers. Rumors quote him stating that he has left the project, due to the producers forcing him to add elements to the film that are the equivalent of ''what the Ewoks were to Return of the Jedi''.

Famed game-to-big-screen movie director Uwe Boll, has been brought in to replace Kosinski. Wasting no time, he is reportedly already working with the actors and production crew to bring some bold new plot and character changes to the film. Much of the initial footage will need to be re-shot, because of the all-new storyline.

According to a recent post on Boll's blog, the new storyline will have very little to do with the digital world of TRON. Instead, it will focus more on the complex relationships between video game developers and the company management they work for.

This new direction will institute a departure from typical special effects and action sequences, to free up much of the film's now reduced budget to allow for more lavish real-life sets, such as the Encom gaming development studios and the somewhat cool-sounding Space Paranoids Karaoke Bar.

After hearing the news, we here at TRON-Sector are actually excited about this new development. After all, TRON isn't about high-tech CGI special effects, action sequences, and gaming, so much as it is about the human element. Who cares about cheesy action scenes, when we get a glimpse of Encom CEO Kevin Flynn working directly with his staff of gaming engineers to develop the next big TRON arcade game - on time, within budget, and in a beautiful working environment of cubicles as far as the eye can see. And what of this rumored Alan & Laura Bradley musical duet in the Space Paranoids Karaoke Bar?

I'm sure all TRON fans can agree that there is much to be excited about!

Check out the latest information about the production on Uwe Boll's Blog.
