TRON is a 3D high—tech adventure set in a digital
world that’s unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn
(GARRETT HEDLUND), the tech—savvy 27—year—old son of Kevin Flynn (JEFF
BRIDGES), looks into his father’s disappearance and finds himself pulled
into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his
father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin’s loyal confidant
(OLIVIA WILDE), father and son embark on a life—and—death journey
across a visually—stunning cyber universe that has become far more
advanced and exceedingly dangerous.
Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), a tech-savvy 27-year-old, is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his father Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges),
a man once known as the world's leading video-game developer. When Sam
investigates a strange signal sent from the abandoned Flynn's
Arcade—that could have only come from his father—he finds himself pulled
into a world where Kevin has been trapped for 20 years. With the help
of the fearless warrior Quorra (Olivia Wilde),
father and son embark on a life-or-death journey across a
visually-stunning digital universe—created by Kevin himself—which has
become far more advanced with never-before-imagined vehicles, weapons,
and landscapes and a ruthless villain who will stop at nothing to
prevent their escape.[4]
Jeff Bridges as Kevin Flynn, the CEO of ENCOM International and creator of the popular arcade game TRON. He disappeared in 1989 while developing "a digital frontier that will reshape the human condition."[5] Bridges also portrays CLU 2, the film's primary antagonist.[6]
Flynn designed CLU 2, a more advanced incarnation of his original
hacking program, in 1983 to act as an "exact duplicate of himself"
within the TRON world.[7]
Garrett Hedlund as Sam Flynn,
the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn who, while looking into
his father's disappearance, is transported into the computer world
himself.
Bruce Boxleitner as Alan Bradley, the COO of ENCOM International and close friend of Kevin Flynn.[5]
After receiving a cryptic page from the office at Flynn's old arcade,
he encourages Sam to investigate its origin. Boxleitner also portrays TRON, a security program developed by Alan Bradley after which Flynn's successful arcade game is named.[5]

The original character of Yori does not appear in the sequel. According to online media Sci Fi Wire: "Fans have been lobbying for actress Cindy Morgan
to be in the movie". There are active campaigns online, such as "Yori
Lives" on Facebook, which is independent of Morgan herself. "All I know
is what I'm seeing online," Morgan said. "I am so thrilled and touched
and excited about the fan reaction and about people talking about the
first one and how it relates to the second one. I can't tell you how
warm a feeling I get from that. It just means so much." No one from Tron: Legacy had contacted Morgan, and she did not directly speak with anyone from the Joe Kosinski-directed sequel.[12]
As Dr. Lora Baines, Cindy Morgan appeared with Bruce Boxleitner (as
Alan Bradley) at the Encom Press Conference in San Francisco, April 2,
2010.
In the late 1990s, there was speculation that Disney would make a
sequel film, due to the original film's cult following. On July 29,
1999, ZDnet News reported that a Tron sequel or remake was being considered by Pixar.[13] Throughout the next several years, many false rumors that a Tron sequel was in production or being developed were reported by various news websites.
On January 13, 2005, Variety reported that Disney had hired Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal to write a sequel to Tron.
Original sequel logo, from the test footage premiered at Comic-Con 2008.
At the 2008 San Diego Comic-Con, a preliminary teaser trailer (labeled as TR2N
and directed by Joseph Kosinski) was shown as a surprise to convention
guests. It depicted a yellow Program engaged in a light cycle battle
with a blue Program, and it prominently featured Jeff Bridges reprising
his role as an aged Kevin Flynn (from the first film). At the end of the
trailer, the yellow Program showed his face, which appeared identical
to Flynn's earlier program Clu (resembling the younger Flynn in Tron).
While the trailer did not confirm that a Tron sequel was in production, it showed that Disney was serious about a sequel. In an interview with Sci-Fi Wire, Bridges revealed that the test footage was not likely to appear in the finished movie.[14]
On July 23, 2009, Disney revealed the current title at their
Comic-Con 3D panel. Jeff Bridges explains that the title is in reference
to the story's theme: "It's basically a story about a son's search for
his father." They also showed a trailer similar to the one shown at
Comic-Con 2008, with updated visuals. At the time, the film just wrapped
production and they had a year of post production ahead of them.
Because none of the footage from inside the computer world was finished,
they premiered concept images from the production. Art included the
recognizer, which has been updated from the original film. Concept
photos were also shown of Disc Wars, which has also been revised from
the original film into a 16-game tournament. The arena is set-up so that
the game court organically changes, and all 16 games are going on at
the same time. The boards also combine in real time until the last two
Disc warriors are connected.[citation needed]
Light cycles make a return,[15][16] with new designs by Daniel Simon.[17]
According to the press conference at Comic-Con 2009, a new vehicle
appears called a "Light Runner," a two-seat version of the light cycle.
It is said to be very fast, and has the unique ability to go off the
grid on its own power. We also get a glimpse at Kevin Flynn's own cycle,
a "Second Generation Light Cycle" designed in 1989 by Flynn and "rumor
has it it's still the fastest thing on the grid." It incorporates some
of the look of both films.[18] The movie also features theatrical 7.1 surround sound.
Light cycle model on display at Fan Expo 2009 Disney booth.
A life-size model of the light cycle was put on display at a booth at Fan Expo 2009 in Toronto,
Canada from August 28–30, 2009, along with a special presentation of
material from the production. The conceptual art shown at Comic-Con was
shown in the session, along with some test film of the martial artists
who play a more athletic style of Disc Wars. A segment from the movie
showed Flynn's son entering the now-decrepit arcade, playing a TRON
stand-up arcade video game, noticing a passage in the wall behind the
TRON game and entering it, the passage closing behind him. Flynn's son
makes the visit to the arcade after Alan Bradley receives a page from
the disconnected phone number of the arcade. The footage was used later
as part of the trailer released on March 5, 2010.
Filming began in Vancouver, British Columbia in April 2009.[19] Stage shooting for the film took place at the Canadian Motion Picture Park studio in south Burnaby. The entire film was filmed in 3D, as was the teaser.[20]Digital Domain is working on the visual effects.[21]
In April 2009, pictures were leaked onto the Internet showing actors
in blue skintight suits. The design of the suits is reminiscent of the
outfits worn by the actors in the original film.[22]
Electronic music duo Daft Punk composed the film score.[23] At the time of the 2009 Comic-Con, it was revealed they composed 24 tracks for the film.[24]
When Kosinski was asked why he decided to have Daft Punk do the film
score, he replied, "How could you not at least go to those guys?"[25]Olivia Wilde stated that the duo may be involved with future promotional events.[24] A teaser trailer features Daft Punk and their track "Derezzed" from the soundtrack.[26] The film score features an 85-piece orchestra, recorded at AIR Lyndhurst Studios in London.[27] A soundtrack album of the film
will be released on December 7, 2010. A deluxe edition of the album
will also be released on the same day that includes a poster of Daft
Punk from the film.[28] The song "Separate Ways" by Journey will also be featured in the film.[24] Daft Punk's score was arranged and orchestrated by Joseph Trapanese.[29]Jason Bentley served as the film's music supervisor.[30]
On July 21, 2009, several movie-related websites posted they had received via mail a pair of "Flynn's Arcade" tokens along with a flash drive. Its content was an animated GIF that showed CSS code lines. Four of them were put together and part of the code was cracked, revealing the URL to Flynnlives.com,[31]
a fictitious site maintained by activists who believe Kevin Flynn is
alive, even though he's been missing since 1989. Clicking on a tiny
spider in the lower section of the main page led to a countdown clock
that hit zero on July 23, 2009, 9:30 pm PDT.
Within the Terms of Use Section, an address was found. It lies in San
Diego, California, USA near the city's convention center where the Comic
Con 2009 took place and some footage and information on the sequel was
released. Flynn's Arcade was re-opened at that location, with several
Space Paranoids arcade machines and a variety of '80s video games. A
full-size light cycle from the new movie was on display.[32]
A ninth viral site, homeoftron.com, was found. It portrays some of the history of Flynn's Arcade as well as a fan memoir section.[33] On December 19, 2009 a new poster was revealed, along with the second still from the movie.[34]
Banners promoting the film paved the way to the 2010 Comic-Con
convention center, making this a record third appearance for the film at
the annual event.[35]
On October 19, 2010, a new banner was revealed, combining segments from
the original Tron poster in it. In the poster, Sam reaches out for his
disk in the air, with Quorra by his side in the world of Tron.
The first theatrical trailer was released on March 5, 2010 with Alice in Wonderland, and featured scenes with Sam, Flynn and the Tron world. The second trailer was attached to Step Up 3D. Another trailer was attached to Resident Evil: Afterlife one was also attached to Jackass 3D. On November 9, 2010, a new trailer was released. Sneak previews of the film aired on November 5 on Disney Channel during new episodes of The Suite Life on Deck and Pair of Kings.
At the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, one monorail
train was decorated with special artwork depicting lightcycles with
trailing beams of light, along with the film's logo. This TRON themed
monorail which was renamed the "TRONORAIL" was unveiled in March 2010.[36]
On October 29, 2010, the nightime show World of Color at Disney California Adventure began soft-openings after its second show of a Tron: Legacy
themed encore using a Daft Punk music piece titled "The Game Has
Changed" from the movie soundtrack, using new effects and projections on
Paradise Pier attractions. The encore officially premiered on November
1, 2010.[38]
A tie-in video game, entitled Tron: Evolution, is set for release on December 7, 2010.[39] Teaser trailers were released in November 2009, while a longer trailer was shown during the Spike Video Game Awards on December 12, 2009.[40]
On October 28, 2010, a 23-minute preview of the movie was screened on many IMAX
theaters all over the world. The tickets for this event were sold out
within an hour on October 8. Stand-by tickets for the event were also
sold shortly before the presentation started. Original merchandise from
the movie was also available for sale. Some of the clips included in the
presentation were seen in many of the film's trailers, but in complete
form. That same day, a clip was released via the internet and iTunes
where Quorra apparently saved Sam in her lightrunner. Later, more
scenes such as Sam encountering his father in the TRON world, and Sam
geared up by the Sirens, were released. Also on November 20 a new clip
was released where Sam and Alan Bradley met at Sam's apartment talking
about his father, Kevin Flynn.
