While most of us will have to wait until this weekend to see the teaser trailer for “Tron: Legacy,” some lucky fans across the country got a sneak peek at it last weekend.
According to the Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision blog, Disney gave fans in select cities the chance to see the trailer over the weekend. Fans followed clues and went on scavenger hunt in cities like Sydney, Berlin, New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles to piece together clues about where they could see the trailer.
The Heat Vision blog had a description of the trailer:
The trailer starts off on the slow side, building a mystery. Bruce Boxleitner, reprising his role of Alan Gartner, is telling Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund) about his missing dad, Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges). He had discovered something that was going to change the world two days before he went missing. Now Boxleitner gets a phone call from a phone from Flynn’s Arcade…a line that should be dead! Soon enough, Hedlund, with an appropriate chip on his shoulder from not having a dad in his life, is at the arcade (he gets there by motorbike, speeding down late night streets and jumping his motorbike from the highway to an off-ramp) and…
…before long, he’s in the computer world. Here the trailer’s pace jumps up a notch, giving us a series of quick and very teasing images of the world fans have been waiting to come to since 1982: a massive city, a blocky transportation machine, Olivia Wilde lounging sexily in a glowing suit, gladiator games, more gladiator games with sexy sirens, Bridges with a retinue of underlings, a blink-and-you-missed-him Michael Sheen, maybe a meeting of father and son, and the kicker ending, a lightcycle race with an explosion (the last image eliciting whoops and hollers).
The rest of us will get a chance to see the teaser trailer this weekend. It will be attached to Disney’s “Alice in Wonderland.”
And the Tron fans living outside of the US will have to wait even longer (T-T), or until somebody decides to upload it to YouTube.
It looks like somebody uploaded the audio portion of the new teaser trailer for the time being, although it’s kind of hard to make out the dialogue:
