Tokyo is a hyperreal city in a country with a very unique culture. An eye-popping urban landscape filled with pachinko parlours, video arcades, neon lights, shrines, and 12,369,000 souls.

Tron Legacy
Wednesday July 29th, 2009 | Posted in Film | 1 Comment
There’s a new Tron movie coming out from Disney Pictures and I can’t wait to see it. It’s going to be released at ‘selected cinemas’ – which probably means iMax. Whatever, I want to see it, not least because Jeff Bridges is back, but also because the bikes are back. Check out this teaser scene. My only gripe so far is that the bikes don’t turn at right angles any more and the filmmakers missed out on a golden opportunity to bring together modern special effects and a retro aesthetic. Instead, it’s all smooth and shiny and reflective with no repeated geometric patterns to mention. Via Motionographer

I hope Tron Legacy beats out Yogi Bear this winter. They both are getting released the same weekend, and we all know that movies aimed at children usually win by a lot. Oh well we will have to see!
