Fictional Characters: TRONned

Clearly, something about the Tron: Legacy aesthetic clicked for a lot of people. Since the movie’s release — heck, since way before that, even — CG artists, sketchers, and painters have been putting the Tron spin on cartoon characters, superheroes, video game characters, and much more. Here’s an exhaustive collection of more than 60 fictional/pop culture characters who’ve been TRONned, and to the best of my knowledge, these are 100% fan-made. The list ranges from the obvious (Star Wars + Tron = no-brainer), to the obscure (My Little Pony? seriously?), but I’m sure many of my finds will surprise you. There’s no accounting for taste, which I suppose is why there Read more »

Because We’re Not Sick of TRON Yet…

Disney XD has released a first trailer for TRON: Uprising, its upcoming animated series based on TRON: Legacy. Personally, I was surprised to find out that the series — which stars an eclectic voice cast that includes Elijah Wood, Lance Henrikssen, Mandy Moore, Paul Ruebens, and Bruce Boxleitner — takes place before Legacy, and not after it. Uprising follows a resistance leader named Beck, who tries to free his home and friends from CLU. Beck gets his training from Tron, and eventually even takes on the Tron “mantle” to rally the enemies of CLU. (I’m guessing he’s not all that successful, since CLU goes on to be the villain of Read more »

Tron and Tron: Legacy Posters

I have to confess that I never saw Tron and was not aware of its existence until the buzz about Tron: Legacy started. Now that Twitter is filled with comments by people who saw Tron Legacy, my interest has been piqued. Meanwhile a lot of video clips and fan art are showing up making it clear that this movie is to be seen on the big screen. Last month Robin posted every Tron: Legacy images available then. With the movie currently showing and people talking about it, it has become a must see and get to know cult movie for me. Can you say Tron is a cult movie? I’m Read more »

The Ultimate Christmas Present

We all have that one person in our lives who’s just impossible to shop for. If you’re facing that eternal conundrum (what do you get for the person who has everything?), and money is no object… have I got the thing for you! You’re looking at a real-life, actually-works, street-legal Tron Lightcycle, based on the cycles from Tron Legacy. One assumes that the trailing ribbon of energy is not included, but in every other way, this is as close to the real deal as you’ll ever get. And it’ll set you back a mere $55,000. Made by Parker Brothers Custom Choppers in Florida, these Lightcycle replicas are made with a steel Read more »

Playboy Gets Its Game On – Via TRON [NSFW]

The anticipation for TRON: Legacy is reaching new heights as the day of its release draws nearer and nearer. Speaking as one who has scored free tickets to the premiere showing here in my neck of the woods, I must say that all things TRON have been catching my eye lately. While I am not one to normally put NSFW stuff up on here (yeah, yeah), this entry was just begging to be written. Fasten your seatbelts, ladies and especially you gentlemen, here are two Playboy bunnies all dolled up, TRON-style. Read more »

Tron: Legacy Fan Made Trailer Gets High Praise From Films Producer

It’s one thing to cut together your own fan made trailer for a movie, it’s a whole different ball game when you make a Tron: Legacy trailer that’s so good that even the films producer Sean Bailey praises your awesome work. The clip, named “Rerezzed” was actually made before the “Derezzed” trailer came out, a point the creator makes sure to highlight. Pay close attention to how well the trailer’s movement sync’s with Glitch mob’s “Animus Vox” almost as if they are working in tandem with one another: Read more »

Hot Toys Announces Most Realistic Looking Tron Toy Yet

Hot Toys just announced one of the coolest Tron: Legacy toys to date. The Sam Flynn Lightcycle figure. Maybe it’s just me, but the photo of the toy above looks crazy realistic. In June I reported about the light projected toys from the movie and I thought those were pretty cool or at least sci-fi based, but having a toy that looks this good without any tech tricks is just as impressive.

Willy Wonka Meets Tron: Legacy [Weird Mashup]

Willy Wonka is a wacky surreal story surrounding a world like none we’ve ever seen. Tron: Legacy is a surreal story surrounding another world like we’ve never before seen. So it’s almost a natural mashup in the making. Actually nothings natural about it, but it’s still pretty cool and definitely funny. Using the voice overs from Tron: Legacy the video shown below attempts to weave the story of Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory into the Tron: Legacy story and it actually does a decent job. Here’s the video: Read more »
