The TRON LEGACY IMAX “limited event” was held this weekend, it was the reward for fans who solved the alternate reality scavenger hunt at FlynnLives.com.  The “event” was the showing of a two and a half minute trailer, and those in attendance also received a “Flynn Lives” T-Shirt.

We are all expecting to see that very trailer online very soon, as it’s supposed to debut in theaters ahead of Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland – this Friday (March 5th). Rest assured that when it hits, we’ll have it for you right here on SciFMafia.

So, what about the trailer? Well, SciFiWire provided the following description (Spoilers Below)

The 3-D trailer opens with Sam (Garrett Hedlund) speaking with an older Alan Bradley (Bruce Boxleitner) atop the Encom Building. Alan says he received a page from Sam’s missing father, Kevin Flynn, from a number that was disconnected 20 years ago. Bradley says Kevin was on the cusp of a technological breakthrough when he went missing and that he would never have left that behind or left Sam behind. Bradley then gives Sam keys to Flynn’s Arcade. Sam speeds off on his motorcycle and arrives at the arcade, which we see has been closed for years.

Sam opens up the arcade, discovers a secret door behind a “Tron” game machine and discovers Kevin’s lab. He wipes dust from a black-and-white screen, which is still active. The shot cuts to the glowing laser we remember from the first movie—the one that digitized Kevin Flynn the first time he entered the virtual world—and the screen goes black.

We are then in a fully realized- 3-D black-and-neon Tron world, with a giant lighted new-generation Recognizer, before which stand three tiny figures in lighted black suits.

We see Sam in a light suit ascending in some kind of round illuminated platform, then quick cuts of

♦Olivia Wilde’s Quorra in a black light suit, reclining on a divan;

♦a light cycle speeding toward the horizon, with a massive lit-up Tron city in the distance;

♦a young-looking black-clad Jeff Bridges as Clu emerging onto a platform, accompanied by Jarvis and other programs;

♦combatants, including Sam, in light suits, flinging white-lighted discs at each other;

♦a skidding light vehicle (did it have four wheels??);

♦Michael Sheen as Castor in a white jumpsuit with a shock of white hair, playing air guitar on an illuminated white cane, standing atop a platform;

♦a white-suited combatant with two illuminated discs;

♦a blond woman in a tight white light suit (a siren?);

♦Sam walking up a ramp toward a bright light

We hear Sam’s (Garrett Hedlund’s) voice:

“Dad.”

Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges):

“Sam”

Sam (Garrett Hedlund)

“Long time.”

Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges):

“You have no idea.”

At the end, we see two light cycles smashing into each other at high speed, ending with a closeup of Sam’s face as he speeds directly toward the camera.

The trailer was backed by electronic music composed by Daft Punk just for the 3-D teaser trailer

While it seems everyone who was fortunate enough to attend, said that the trailer was fantastic – they were fairly disappointed in the “Event”, having been only a 2.5 minute trailer and a t-shirt.

I do understand where they’re coming from but, they have to remember that the film is still 10 months away from hitting theaters and the studio, and director Joseph Kosinski have promised much more in the way of viral events (etc.) along the way.. so, stay tuned!
