[fsmorel123]

[chabachaba34]

So......she ran for 5 months with the speed of light? I dont get it



[Lesibana1]

I love this joint. F-ing ill.

[MatSallehBoleh]

I don't get it

[Avigadro]

Dude, the TRS-80 is a 30 year old computer made by Radio Shack with like 16K of RAM. bwahaha

[pandananas]

my ears are bleeding...

[D3adGoon]

HA! Nike Legacy!

[dhritimanbatchu]

"I would describe this thing like a light...a spot of consciousness."

[dhritimanbatchu]

Mind blowing...apparently based on Einstein's "concept of time dilation, specifically the twin paradox". Is this Joseph Kosinski a CGI / VFX guy or a damn nuclear physicist?

[sagahod]

@dhritimanbatchu He actually studied engineering at both Stanford and Oxford university before moving onto architecture/design.

[mumpump]

on the basis of this, i believe tron is going ROCK!

[eklectric]

The Soound!!!! i go nuts at 1:20... it's so violently cool, i wish it lasted longer.... anyone here that could give me a couple of artist names that blow out your eardrums like that?

[BundyFly]

aphex twins

[vinylintl]

@eklectric "I Am Energy" by TRS-80 is the song used in this video.

@eklectric "I Am Energy" by TRS-80 is the song used in this video.

[CompuGlobalHyper]

@eklectric I think maybe Plump DJ's, DJ Icey, Chemical Brothers might be up your alley. If you're not into them already, that is.

[Colt2571]

Looks good, but seems he's just a glorified visual FX man...these guys are always looking to cross over into film directing...the success rate among them is virtually zero because they're not complete storytellers...they think of the visuals first, story second.

[eklectric]

yeah right, and ron mueck is just a glorified puppeteer... it's a bit sad to see people judging so fast, when the story here was pretty clear to me, even if the visuals make it completely surreal.

[pixID4]

@Colt2571 that is true, but in the case of tron, he really wants it to be a good film. he's screened it for david fincher and pixar, in order to get some story advice. apparently, brad bird and michael ardnt did a rewrite along with the writers in order to round it all off. i had my own concerns with the story until i heard this news.

[Swonderland]

@variedInterest

what part about the CG industry is not about selling out?

[eklectric]

wow, that is such a stupid thing to say...

[martysoulshine]

beautiful

just beautiful

[Chradnev]

I see why he got the 'Tron' job.

[VariedInterest]

Yeah because he's a CG hack who is looking to sell out.

[surreyday]

Please define "selling out".

[MoviesDoS]

@Chradnev Starry Nights. Halo 3. Youtube it.

[Chradnev]

@MoviesDoS Seen it. Impressive ad.

This one reminds me more of Tron though.

[MoviesDoS]

@Chradnev truth. just adding that he did some other impressive ads as well as this one.

[jeexbit]

the future will not be corporate sponsored...

[kdwormy]

damn...

[allgoraro]

Creepy shit. Gona be sleeping in my nike outfit--not likely.

[nosarecordings]

weird thing though, the original version has a male vocal and this one has a female voc with phaser effects.

[chulk607]

Indeed, I've tried to work out what the vocal in the original is from, but every search turns up nothing. Anyone have any ideas?

It sounds to me like either an alien abduction story, or perhaps a near death experience. Something along those lines.

Maybe even some of the LSD testing from back in the day. I dunno. Love the song.

[89455215]

有两下子

[ivythepwn]

[drumkrazy1984]

[splatwacker]

[IAmThePartyCrasher]

The Party Crasher has high hopes for Tron 2010. Kosinski, you're the man now, dog.

[evilethics]

GACK_TAKULAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ammarensky]

[johnnysako]

This guy is doing TRON 2.0 for Disney.

[surreyday]

dead on. love this vid.

[mhnatt]

This director (Joseph Kosinski) has some fantastic work. But can someone tell me where the collogue of this series is? It has clips of this and a few others of his, and is REALLY cool.

[riserobot]

This is from TRS-80s "Shaking hands with Danger". I am energy. A very powerful example of their badassery.
