I'm getting ramped up for the new movie release, and wondering what we can all expect from marketing to be set up for release with the premiere.. Here's what I think so far:

1. TRON fast food toys at McDonald's- they seem to dominate the fast-food toy realm (to include TRON, Flynn, lightcycles, a disc?)

2. a new TRON arcade game possibly? Would kids today even play it? Would it have to be an FPS like T2 or something?

3. TRON Legacy on Wii, Xbox, PS... anyone seen anything on these? They would obviously be big Christmas sellers since the movie comes out in December

4. new TRON Legacy figures?

5. new Hot Topic shirts or shirts in other stores?
 
You can expect me to be geeked out in my helmet and disc...now if I can just convince my wife to wear Flynn's ;) And no...no spandex!
 
speaking of tron stuff.....

i was @ disneyland a few weeks back and they are selling TRON shirts and artwork at the disney shopping area (city walk)!!

very cool stuff. the store is called D-STREET and they are selling 4 styles of tron shirts and 2 different pieces of wall art too. 2 of the shirts are mens, 2 styled for women. the shirts are like 30 bucks (not cheap) and the artwork is a bit pricey too.

i ended up buying a shirt for myself and one for my wife.

just so cool to see this stuff popping up in the wild. go tron :) chris
 
You know, where they showed off a Space Paranoids arcade machine at Comic-Con last year, I would love to see them release that to arcades (not consoles) to help ramp up the hype for the movie. I'd pick one up for my arcade. ;)
 
Truly a new upright would be sweet. Also mentioned a few months back Stern should do a pin.
The question is - who the hell is left to make an arcade version? I.T. Technologies? lol

the console video game is a definite.

I'm wondering when they will start playing the trailer in theaters?
I expect there will be shirts and such and it would be nice if a restaurant like McDonalds had toys. I'm nearly certain there will be some toys available for the movie. I'm sure if you made a trip to Disney land or Disney world around the time the movie comes out there would be a lot of tron related stuff that you won't find elsewhere. I would like to see a new arcade release but I'm a bit doubtful this will be a reality. Although I do think they may take the space paranoids machines that were used at the comicon promo and possibly place them at a handful of theaters. Probably Man's Chinese theater in LA and a couple other high profile places. I do think there may be the possibility of a tron pin which would be pretty cool.
 
Isn't this movie still about 11 months away, with a December 17th release date?

Or did they announce it was coming out sooner?
 
I wish they'd hurry up and release a blu-ray for Tron already, I heard it was supposed to happen last year, just googled it and it appears that it won't be released until 'shortly before the new movie.'
 
but i forgot to add, as far as what we can expect, it'd be cool if they set up the premiere like an arcade like they did at comic con.

What can we expect? We can expect to be so saturated with tron this and tron that. That we will wanna throw up unfortunately
 
SPOILER ALERT:

This is the Tron Legacy script, but I am sure the final product will have differences:

Nice read - had nothing else really to do tonight, But I don't think that's the actual script - unless they changed the characters names and the plot.
heres the link to the IMDB "roll call" for the movie.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1104001/

The script doesn't mention anything about Flyns family, etc and those characters are listed. So I really highly doubt thats the scrip - but again - pretty good read.
