It also goes well with the plot in that the digital world has grown by leaps and bounds since the first movie and has become a dangerous place. I’m actually half way though writing a blog post about how this is happening in real life so a movie about it coming in December is fitting.

A few cool things from the trailer: of course the light cycles are upgraded (light car?) and the image of a guy wiping out in a light wall is excellent.

They also kept the Recognizers!!!! I was wondering because in TRON 2.0 the recognizers had been converted into packet transports. That had some excelent quotes for tech and network geeks like me.

“In the event of sudden archive decompression, a subnet mask will rez into your overhead memory. If you are accompanying any subprograms, please install your own mask before assisting them.”

“You would probably lose your header if it weren’t compiled on.”

“8 bits short of a byte.”

Grab the HD version here. Thanks Giz.

It’s also going to be 3D but I’m hoping it was filmed in 3D and not 2D->3D converted like Alice in Wonderland which I hear is a sub-par alternative.
