Tron 2

by MaxPower

When I saw the Google Trend listing for Tron 2, the first thing that came to my mind was: "Why would an old video game be ranking so high in Google Seaches right now?". Of course, I am referring to the fact that Tron 2.0: Killer App was a uniquely interesting Xbox game which we reviewed here at Reading For New Times back in December 2004. My mind was not deceiving me - here is a quote of mine from the December 2004 review:

Tron 2.0 originally was thought to be the feature film sequel to Tron, however, the Tron 2.0: Killer App game took centre stage as the production of the movie was sidelined.

So I was pleased when I checked out the Google search today and found out that:

There was a big surprise revealed today at the end of Walt Disney Pictures' movie presentation at San Diego Comic-Con: the debut of the trailer for Tron 2!

It appears it will debut in 2011 (and a trailer is out already? wow).

Homer tries to explain what the third dimension looks like.

Bart: No.
Patty: No.
Wiggum: No.

Lovejoy: No.
Wiggum: Yes. I mean... um, I mean, no. No, heh.
