Thought what you’ve seen of Tron Legacy ’s world of bright borders and neon lightbikes was awesome? Then check out Tron Legacy ’s other world of run down buildings and standard motorcycles! They’re not actually as cool. Sorry. One more new shot of Flynn’s Arcade at MovieGod . (Thanks, Flex.)

Did you miss the super-secret Tron Legacy trailer premier this Saturday? Yeah, me too. But thankfully some other people, like Heat Vision’s Borys Kit did see it, and have related their experience to us–which is idea if you’re the type of person who will accept “hearing about someone having sex” as a second place to “having sex.” OK, imagine all this being covered in strips of neon: The trailer starts off on the slow side, building a mystery. Bruce Boxleitner, reprising his role of Alan Gartner, is telling Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund) about his missing dad, Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges). He had discovered something that was going to change the world two days before he went missing. Now Boxleitner gets a phone call from a phone from Flynn’s Arcade…a line that should be dead! Soon enough, Hedlund, with an appropriate chip on his shoulder from not having a dad in his life, is at the arcade (he gets there by motorbike, speeding down late night streets and jumping his motorbike from the highway to an off-ramp) and…
This is 15-year old Sven Junga’s (awesome name!) Stargate diorama, including a LEGO Daedalus from Stargate Atlantis . It is most impressive, as are the other LEGO models in his Flickr gallery. And he’s only 15. I was still wearing Velcro shoes and licking the bus window! Hit the jump for several other shots of the ship, and be sure to check out Sven’s Flickr gallery for other LEGO mastery.
Even Angelina Jolie knows when it comes down to a sequel to Wanted or a new sci-fi film from the director of Children of Men , that ain’t no choice at all: Vulture just heard the actress has pulled out of the planned Timur Bekmambetov-directed sequel at Universal, and the studio has pulled the plug rather than recast the film. As for Jolie, we hear she is now intent on starring in Warner Bros.’ Gravity , a space thriller to be directed by Children of Men ’s Alfonso Cuarón from a script he wrote with his 28-year-old son, Jonás. Jolie will reportedly be playing “the sole surviving human member of a space mission, desperately trying to return home to Earth and her daughter,” which should really tap into our collective love of her conspicuous motherhood. Team Jolie! Find your way back to Earth!
Be the first to tell all the kids at Riddick Club the next Pitch Black sequel WILL have trisons (three-legged bisons, naturally): Though billed as a back-to-basics approach to the character popularized by Diesel, the script features the character — the most wanted man in the galaxy — left for dead on a barren alien planet, dealing with “trisons” (three-legged bisons) and “mud demons.” He must then contend with two squads of bounty hunters, one of which ride rockets called jetcycles. Mud demons, bounty hunters, jetcycles, AND trisons. You’re getting all that on one bill. This film is an overflowing Christmas stocking, for you. For us. ( via )
Fuck you, Mega Shark and Giant Octupus : it’s SHARKTOPUS. SyFy reportedly has B-movie god Roger Corman directing a movie about this goddammer, and the network’s original films director has been “discussing what a sharktopus should look like, how many mouths it should have and how it should kill.” The obvious answers: it should look really awesome, have infinite mouths, and fuck everyone up. More concept art below the cut.
SOMETHING’S HAPPENING. ComingSoon has some shots from one of the packages the Tron Legacy marketing team has been sending around. Inside: a plastic Tron bit perfect for topping a really nerdy Christmas tree and a link to this page , which code crackers (anyone who can read binary) have determined is a clock counting down to Wednesday, 5:30 PM Eastern. Could this mean a trailer will be arriving next week? Or is the Master Control Program just really excited about the episode of Reba The CW will be showing? It’s impossible to know.
Finally, a poster that gives a reasonable estimate for how much it would be to completely overhaul Peter Falk. Really not a bad price if we can squeeze one more season of Columbo out of him. ‘Repo Men’ Poster [IMPA]
This must be from the part in the script where Jeff Bridges mutters, “Hmm… Tron…” Or possibly when he delivers the line, “Tron… huh…” Impossible to tell as of yet. First Look: Jeff Bridges in Tron Legacy! [SciFi Wire]
