I cant wait for this but they have to stop it with this 3d crap. Avatar was specifically made for 3d. I saw alice in wonderland in 3d and it was garbage compared to avatar. Dont ruin the experience by running the movie through a 3d encoder and call it a 3d experience.

Everything will be be 3D now. It's the latest thing, you know. Everyone will jump on the bandwagon.

Slashfilm visited the set of Tron Legacy and witnessed one of the infamous cyber-nightclub scenes. Apparently the club is called "End Of The Line" and it's the top floor of the highest building in the cyber-world. Jeff Flynn is there, and extras in the glowing suits are wielding glowing light discs. More pics at the link. [Slashfilm]

On Friday night, fictional software company ENCOM held their first public press conference in years (possibly ever) in San Francisco, CA. A renegade group who believes that revolutionary programer Kevin Flynn is still alive (despite having disappearing from the public eye two decades ago), infiltrated the event and took over the press conference. Of course, this is all part of the viral marking for the upcoming Disney sequel Tron Legacy.

The night began with a meet-up of the Flynn Lives group in a nearby hotel ballroom. One of the leaders of the renegade group showed a powerpoint presentation which climaxed with a airmail view map of the Encom press conference set-up. Volunteers were chosen to execute the plan, which involved overtaking security, delivering a harddrive containing files that would allow the group to hack into the stage?s big screen displays, pass out signage, and taking over the stage. Everyone in attendance was given Flynn Lives t-shirts, which they were told to hide underneath their sweatshirts and jackets. The plan was that everyone would reveal their shirts and signs at a time coordinated throughout the group. If this sounds cool, its because it was. Unfortunately things didn?t quite go as planned.

The Encom press conference was set-up in a plaza near the water, which means that attendees were asked to stand in the cold for over an hour. High winds also seemed to screw up the climax of the event, which I?ll get to in a bit. For those of you who would rather watch clips from the press conference before reading my rundown/commentary, here you go:

Alan Bradey (played by Bruce Boxleitner) was escorted to the stage by his personal security and an Encom publicist. His big announcement was that Encom would be honoring the memory of Kevin Flynn by rereleasing his hit video game Space Paranoids online with 15 unseen levels programed by Flynn before he disappeared.

At the premiere of the Tron Legacy trailer in Los Angeles, someone asked director Joseph Kosinski if the character Lora Baines from the original movie returned for the sequel. Kosinski said that while she doesn?t appear in the movie itself, we might be seeing her in the lead up to the film. Actress Cindy Morgan made an appearance during the press conference to reprise her role as Lora Baines, who we found out is now married to Bradey. This was a nice touch, and a good example of how Disney is treating Tron fans with a lot of respect in this viral storyline.

This is where the trouble began. The press conference was supposed to be interrupted by something big from the Flynn Lives group, but that big event never came. Actor Bruce Boxleitner tried to improv for a few moments before a publicist from Encom was sent on stage to pull him away. We then stood there for a few minutes wondering what was going on.

The Flynn Lives group decided now was the time to take over the stage, the crowd revealed their signs, but not many jackets were removed to reveal the t-shirts (it was very cold). A group of volunteers from the Flynn Lives got up on stage and read a statement that Flynn would not be forgotten, while the crowd chanted ?Flynn Lives! Flynn Lives!?

It was then that an helicopter came by. It swooped down low over the crowd, revealing the Encom logo painted on the bottom and side. And some people in the crowd noticed that a man was hanging off the side of the helicopter.

The copter climbed high up into the sky and the man jumped off, opening his parachute. This is when the extreme winds came into play. I honestly thought that the guy falling down from the sky was going to be killed or injured. The wind whipped him from side to side, but somehow the man was able to land right behind the stage, where he jumped into a car which sped away.

We later learned that the man who jumped out of the helicopter was Kevin Flynn?s son, Sam Flynn (played by actor Garrett Hedlund, who is the star of the new film).

    • Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships

      By AndrewSteel · Posted

      Not such a great deal, Ultimate, which gives you full 5080 features is $181.99 CAD per month, that's $2183.88 per year, I can buy the 5080 for $1809.99 CAD, then it goes up to $279.99 per month after the first billing cycle. Typical cloud rental, costs more than buying the hardware.
