Tron Legacy Vehicle Featurette

I can not wait to watch Tron Legacy online, the sequel to the 1982 neon lights fest sci-fi flick Tron. The original movie has been lauded for its amazing special effects and for being seen as ahead of its time. It was released when the world was just recently introduced to the cyberspace. It received a special Academy Award for Technical Achievement in 1997. It featured one of the most iconic vehicles ever to be seen on the big screen: the Light Cycle.

And when you watch Tron Legacy online, the people behind the sequel made sure not to alienate the fans by bringing back the Light Cycles. Disney has recently released a brand new behind-the-scenes featurette about the vehicles. The newest Light Cycle now is newly-improved and highly-detailed making it look a lot sleeker and totally way cooler than its predecessor. There is also another version of the Light Cycle, the two-seater Light Runner, which is said to be very fast and has the unique ability to go off the grid using its own power. There are also other unique and amazing vehicles including a low-racing Formula 1-like racing car, and the self-constructing-while-flying-in-mid-air jet. It is real treat seeing those spectacular machines set in the neon-lined landscapes. The modern vehicles were designed by Daniel Simon, German concept designer and automotive futurist. Some of the cast and crew, including the stars Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund, and Olivia Wilde talked about the stunning auto designs. Director Joseph Kosinski also shared his thoughts. This is the directorial film of Kosinski who is best known for his computer generated imagery works.

Most of these ultra hi-tech vehicles could never be used in the real world which is why you have to make to watch Tron Legacy online. The film is also set to be released this December 17 in both 2D and 3D theaters.
