It's been a great 24 hours for movie trailers. This is the trailer for Tron: Legacy, the sequel to Disney's 1982 sci-fi classic, Tron, set to star Jeff Bridges, reprising his role as Kevin Flynn, and Garret Hedlund as his son. It's mind-bendingly awesome. Enjoy: [quicktime]http://wdmp-wdsmp.rd.llnw.net/wdsmp/TRON/42Ent/1Trlr/Grid_1tlr_480x200_Low.mov[/quicktime] Related posts:The Incredible Hulk trailer.
