Tron: Ares

That was the first trailer for this to actually get me excited. This took it up from streamer to one I might try to see in theaters.

I was quite a bit in when I went to go double check this was real! There are FAN trailers that don't lean on the nostalgia as much as this does. Heck, there wasn't a single Tron: Legacy trailer that hit Tron this hard.

That is exactly what I was thinking. Disney was overtly trying to downplay or even outright hide any imagery from the original movie when Legacy came out. I think the Blu Ray of 1982 Tron was dumped out with little notice months before Legacy in 2010. Obvious reasons to sell it to younger generations and gamers who had no nostalgia for original. But this time is completely different. There is at least one California screening of whole trilogy planned right before Ares is released.

I just rewatched first two films yesterday. The symbol Flynn has on his chest in newest trailer is from his costume in 1982 movie. No where to be seen in Legacy.

I assume OG Tron is getting a little more light due to the original grid featuring in Ares. Always good to try and make sure people are all on the same page when it comes to referencing a 40+ year old movie.

Tron's Blu-ray premiere was the same day that Legacy came out on Blu. They were matching special editions.

If they had shown that one as the first trailer rather than the last one, I'd have been way more hyped. I think this trailer does a much better job than all the others.

Right. Although why they didn't use the Tron / Yori key art that was the mirrored by the Sam / Quorra Tron: Legacy art was always beyond me.

Remember how they put all of the Legacy stuff on the web so you had to sync up your computer and your blu ray player? All that stuff is long dead now, of course. (Was it just Legacy or was it both of them?)

Same. The new 4K releases finally have complementary art, which is nice for anyone who manages to get those.

The "second screen" stuff had a lot of cool material, but it was (IIRC) mainly art gallery style stuff. Images, CG model turnarounds, etc. The full motion extras (about a half an hour total) are on the disc.

I had a collection of the second screen extras someone compiled back in the day, but I think it must have been on a drive that went kaput because I can't find it now.
