TRON: LEGACY is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that's unlike anything ever captured on the big screen.
Sam Flynn (GARRETT HEDLUND), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (JEFF BRIDGES), looks into his fathers disappearance and finds himself pulled into the digital world of Tron where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevins loyal confidant Qora (OLIVIA WILDE), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey of escape across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.
Directed by Joseph Kosinski. Cast includes Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde, Bruce Boxleitner, James Frain, Beau Garrett and Michael Sheen.
TRON: LEGACY opens in Irish cinemas on December 17

I've always been a fan of Simon's work, and I didn't know he designed the Tron's vehicles. Now that I know that, I'm a bigger fan.

i am looking for a book on how to draw or digital art design .????

[@SpeedofCheeseRacing]

[@NINARODUS]

[@bouchandre]

@xJohnson1022 DUDE! it's in the digital world!

[@xJohnson1022]

Seriously how the engine move the wheels? Someone got the answer?

[@Gayestskijumpever]

No, Syd Mead designed the Tron vehicles. Daniel merely updated them.

[@flybeep1661]

Really? DId you even compare both vehicles before you made that idiotic comment. Both are wide bodied motorcycles and that's about where the comparisons end. Syd's design is a different thing. Even in the movie the "retro" model is shown and it's like comparing a ferrari to lambo, completely different aesthetics.

"That guy" designed the Bugatti Veyron.

[@omargonashvili1479]

Nope. Jozef Kabaň did. At least the exterior.

[@adityarajdev1]

yes, Daniel Simon did the Hermes version of Veryron. you both are right...

[@TheExtraleague]

cuz engine is in the both wheels bro :-)

[@PSNGreyLynx]

@xJohnson1022 it's all data man

[@braziliandesigner]

Probably the same way electric hub engines do.

[@FATLACE420]

that guy is a great drawer/designer... but man he sucks at drawing smiley faces

[@capitolORANGE426]

I really didn't like this movie. The special effects were cool and the idea was too...until they actually made it.
