Can’t wait to see more footage from Tron 2.0 (or TR2N… we’re still not sure the correct title)? Barry Levine revealed at the Radical Studios panel at New York Comic Con this weekend that Joseph Kosinski will return to San Diego Comic Con International this year with the film’s first official trailer.

The footage that premiered at the 2008 Comic Con was actually just test footage that Kosinski shot to convince Disney to greenlight the film. IO9 quotes Levine as saying:

“This year, he’s going to have a trailer, not of the entire film, but just what he’s been shooting. He started shooting in April, and given his pedigree and what I know about the film and what I know about Joe—the film will be amazing. So he’ll show that trailer there.”

I’m still surprised that Disney hasn’t put the Comic Con test footage online or in theaters. I had once assumed that they would be using the footage in the actual film, or at very least, as a teaser trailer, but that is seeming less and less likely. And Disney, who is usually pretty fast issuing copyright complaints has been pretty easy going on the bootleg footage that has been floating around YouTube since the Tron teaser premiered.

  • Someone I know who works with Disney just saw the TRON 2.0 trailer. Like the real one! and she said it looks amazing!! and yes Jeff Bridges is in it as master control or the father? something like that... my source hasn't seen the original! WTF!
  • I bet it's just a teaser.
  • Frank
    Peter: Could you maybe include the actual date of ComiCon San Diego? That would put some time frame on this news :)
  • yes ive been waiting for a High Quality teaser for Tron 2, the boot leg version really doesnt give it justice. So pumped when i first saw it but.
  • SWEET! I've already purchased my passes so I'm ready to go.
  • Btw, it's weird how some movies rush production to meet their deadline, and Tron has been 'shooting' since last April and it's coming out in 2011. That's a long ass production, and post.
  • Keep in mind that the San Diego is the main Comic Con; look at the websites that are covering the New York one compared to the San Diego one. Don't worry.
  • Awesome!
  • FINALLY! SOME GREAT NEWS FOR THE SAN DIEGO comic con.

    all the good news lately had been going to the NYC one.
  • gah
    Yeah, the NYC con is an infant compared to the San Diego one. which is either a good or a bad thing depending on who you ask.
  • good. ; )
  • While the first had impressive effects, I really think it's crazy how the movie garnered such a huge fanbase. It really wasn't that great.
  • wow! got some major goose bumps
  • It's so fucking blurry!
  • freemachine
    Oh yeah baby! I'm looking forward to this! As a kid, TRON (along with War Games) made such an impression on me. Computers seemed so mysterious and fantastic back then.
  • The official title better not be TR2N, that's as bad as DRIV3R or Shadow Man: 2econd coming
  • Ben Nadler
