New "Throwback" Tron: Legacy Poster


There is no doubt that the fanboys are at the edge of there seats as they try to wait to watch Tron Legacy online. The upcoming sci-fi flick is a sequel to the 1982 film Tron which was not huge at the box-office when it was released but has gained a cult following as years went by. It was lauded for its extensive of computer graphics which was seen as ahead of its time. One of the most iconic vehicles of all time, the Light Cycle, was first appeared here. The film starred Jeff Bridges as Kevin Flynn/CLU, and Bruce Boxleitner as Alan Bradley/Tron. It was directed by Steven Lisberger.

Walt Disney Pictures has been heavily promoting their upcoming sci-fi flick for several months now. They have released several posters, video clips, and still shots and I am pretty sure that the die-hard fans are eagerly waiting to watch Tron Legacy online. And now, Disney has unveiled a brand new poster for the movie and it is pretty reminiscent of the original poster of the prequel. The latest poster is a high concept re-imagining of the 1982 poster which features two of the characters standing on a round platform trying to reach out to a circle inside a ray of light. The first poster featured the tagline “A world inside the computer where man has never been. Never before now.” with Bridges and Cindy Morgan. The brand new banner shows Garrett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde with the ultra-modern landscape. Hedlund plays Sam Flynn, the 27-year old son of Kevin, while Wilde plays Quorra, a warrior program and a confidante of Kevin. Together, they must find a way to make it out of the virtual world.

If the original poster was cool, the latest promotional banner is way cooler than cool, which is why I am going to make that I will be able to watch Tron Legacy online.
