Here's A Look At That Long-Term, Frequently Refreshed TRON LEGACY Billboard In L.A.!!
Merrick here...
A few days ago we mentioned that a new TRON LEGACY billboard was being erected (hehe, I said "erected") on the corner of Santa Monica & Glendon in Westwood (Los Angeles area).
SickGirl was kind enough to snap a pic of said billboard and send it in for all to see. I know this is kinda small - we're hoping to find a bigger image shortly.
This billboard will remain in place until the film's December 2010 opening - but the image on it will change monthly.
Here's the first billboard of, what, 12 or 13 more to come?
Literally, JUST as I initially posted this article, Max sent in the following promo art. This was released to 10 lucky users on Facebook today & seems like it's (more or less) the same image seen on the billboard above. And it's so, so cool...

Could it be?

I had to. I'm usually so late to this site that I'm lucky to post in the first 100.
Beautiful image, and a perfect billboard ad. I wasn't really excited about Tron Legacy before, but now I'm definitely intrigued. Can't wait to see more! -
Looks cool.
This was posted in chud's talkback what haveyous. Not sure if people have seen this http://tinyurl.com/ykywzph It's a roundtable with Peter Jackson, Cameron, Tarantino, Bigelow, Reitmen, and Daniels. It's short and kind of puff, but it's always fun seeing a mix of directors conversing. -
yes. sorry it is a year away. and Daft Punk to boot.
-
...will look like before they change it each month.
-
I'm all giggly inside for this one.
-
Is there a bigger version of this? It's hard to get excited about a thumbnail.

Disney hasn't gotten this much love in a long, LONG time.
by royston lodge
Tron. Alice. Black Hole. Princess & Frog.
If the movies live up to expectations, it'll mean a serious renaissance for the House of Mouse.
How long has it been since geeks actually had warm thoughts about that company?
For me, the last time I thought of their stuff fondly was The Great Mouse Detective. Ever since then they've just been pumping out animated broadway musicals.
How long you figure before they bring back the suck? -
You know it to be true.
-
I know, that's what she said -- but seriously, can we get a bigger version for wallpaper purposes?

If the Users can no longer help us, we're lost.

...passed away at 79. *Sniff*
-
Any other Disney's running around?

Cancer strikes again...RIP Roy.
-
...that I'm aware of. Roy fought hard when things were going to shit at Disney. Man, I'm seriously bummed, but he leaves behind a great legacy.
-
And helped the eventual Pixar merger. Which pretty much led directly to the green lighting of projects like Princess and Tron Legacy. You will be missed, Roy. Godspeed.

Not crazy about how his ass flows into the bike seat...

Just looks aesthetically...weird. Once I noticed it in the teaser, I couldn't stop noticing it...
-
I totally never realized the guy was that old. It was very interesting to hear or read what he had to say on the rare occasions he was interviewed. He had knowledge of the past, frustration about the present, and you could tell he was holding back on both counts.
-
took you long enough...
-
JUST CHANGED TO A PICTURE OF THREE DIFFERENT WHITE KIDS THAN THE ONES THAT WERE IN THE PREVIOUS ONE. AWESOME!
-
Not only did he fall on his sword for to preserve what dignity was left at Disney Studios, but he effortlessly and tirelessly worked with Eisner to 'de-Eisner' everything that had gone terribly wrong.
In a fair and just world, he would get a bronze statue next to Walt and Mikey in the middle of Main Street, USA. -
Belated but still....I'll check it out.

by brock landers baby

-
I love the trailer/demo... But one year to wait for it.... Waaahhhh!!!
-
Alice, Toy Story 3, and Tron all look amazing.
-

I was hoping the billboard would be on those programmable ones.
by grooveraider
Santa Monica ( West Hollywood ) has those nice electronic billboards that changes on a fly. Why didn't they use those instead ??? You'd think they'd save some money with the elctronic ones than printed ones. Oh well...
-
...say in October or so, followed by a blu-ray release in November.
-
I read at least an early script. Unless there are MAJOR rewrites, meaning starting over, the film will be awful. It reminds me of reading the scripts for the last two STAR WARS prequels before seeing the films. Crushing disappointment followed by resignation.
