The makers of the Tron sequel, previously known as Tr2n, have decided that replacing letters with numbers is so se7en years ago.  According to Production Weekly, the new title is TRZ.  Because X’s are played out and vowels are what fags do.

“After being transported into the surreal landscape of a mainframe computer to destroy an intruder, a programmer finds himself allied with the leader of a rebellion against a corrupt cyber-entity.”

Little else known about the project, in which Jeff Bridges will reprise his role as Flynn, and which will be shot in 3-D (or possibly hypercolor).  I think they should make it a buddy cop movie about Tron Man and this guy. “Aww hell naw! Don’tchoo eva touch a LARPer‘s radio,” vagina-face man would say.

After the jump, I’ve got the bootleg video of the teaser from Tron 2 (yes, it’s actually called Tr2n) from Comic-Con.  Here’s some douche from Gizmodo about to jizz his shorts over it:

It’s a tiny bootleg video, but I don’t care. You can see that the 3D looks amazing, the new lightcycles are stunning (and move like real bikes), the world and the whole mood is Batman-like dark. And Jeff Bridges… well, he is Jeff Bridges. What can I say, he looks like a badass version of the Dude. ‘

Yes, it’s weird how actors can sometimes resemble themselves and the characters they’ve played.  Anyway, Calling this video a "bootleg" is an insult to bootleggers, who were providing fine black market alcohol to the masses during prohibition.  Compared to that, watching this is like huffing paint thinner through a dirty sweatsock.  Did this guy even know he was filming?  Or was he just going for the Oops I sat on the camera button aesthetic?  I could shoot clearer video from the inside of a washing machine.   

The news that Disney was making a sequel to Tron, while stupid, has been around for some time.  This week, the news from Comic-Con is that not only will it star Jeff Bridges, they’ll be taking a cue from teenage girls on MySpace and calling it Tr2n.  That’s right, Tr2n.  Now, I know what you might be thinking.  Regardless of how you feel about substituting numbers for letters (and I don’t feel good about it, but that’s beside the point), a 2 doesn’t even look like an O.  It might pass for an S, or even a Q (and it’d be a stretch either way), but an O?  I don’t see it.  But I will tell you this, friends: it’s amazing how little details matter when you’re a fucking idiot.
