All things Tron Legacy

Quick question for you Guys, is the Art of Tron worth picking up ? Is it a making of book or just pre-visual paintings?

Yes, it is worth buying. I bought the Art of Tron book a couple weeks ago. It's fantastic. It goes into great detail about the making of the movie, creation of the characters and what not. It's a very interesting book to have. The pictures in the book are stunning. If you are fan of Legacy or Tron in general, I would highly recommend it.

I was actually disappointed, there are pics and art I've found online that aren't in the book, they have nothing of the light jet designs or any of the poster art or any such media work. In fact I'd say this book is only half of the design art, it feels rushed, like they wanted to get it out near the movie, but hadn't finished the movie yet, so all the stuff from the end post process wasn't included in this book. I'm hoping the Japanese create a more detailed book, usually they do. Or maybe that french company that created that beautiful Fifth Element bible, NOW THAT'S AN ART BOOK!

You bring up an excellent point. I was kinda looking forward to them including that in the book. Now that you say that, the book does seem a little rushed. Maybe they will come out with another one focusing on both movies. That would be really cool. Now if they do, let us know. I would be more than interested in purchasing a copy. Even though Tron is not as prolific as Star Wars, I think it would be great if they came out with a book for Tron that is similar to the Star Wars Year by Year: A Visual History. That book is so informative and goes through the years of what influenced Star Wars, how it was made, and all this other fascinating information.
 
You're welcome. I agree that would have been hilarious and they should have gone with it. :lol

Totally. It would have been pure comedic gold if they had. Keep posting hilarious Tron videos. I know I have a couple if anyone is interested.
 
That is AWESOME!

lol ^_^

Hey, BTW, got something funny for you guys. Kinda makes me wish they had done this in the film (would have been even more funny than the video of Marv): YouTube - TRON LEGACY Original intro scene

HAHAHAHA! That would have been priceless!

Yeah! Post them! This thread is about all things Tron Legacy right? XD

I DO have this other one I think may have made the rounds. It's Tron: How it Should Have Ended. It's by an animation group by the name How It Should Have Ended. It's animated and is mainly a song but they DO have an ending for the film and the whole thing is freaking great!:

I love the Tron Rap video! I have the song on my ipod and it's sad that now I have it memorized. It's so awesome :D "My name's Tron, son, you better recognize."

Here's one that is so hilarious. I laugh every single time I watch it. Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do. The best part is 1:24-1:31 :) Enjoy!

Oh and since this is a thread all about Legacy, I just bought a Daft Punk shirt at Hot Topic and it's all Legacy themed. If you want to see a pic, I can post it on here.
 
Anyone think I should post my picture of my Tron collection on my profile? I have like six shirts and all these other nifty little things straight from the Grid. Oh and please post more hilarious Tron videos :D
