A Wee Mite of New Tron: Legacy Footage
The Nokia Connection convention in Singapore is, as you all obviously know, the world’s preeminent event for cinematic work. So it makes perfect sense that Disney would debut a new Tron: Legacy trailer with a bit of new footage, that people have to record with a handheld camera that — what? The Nokia Connection convention isn’t the world’s preeminent event for cinematic work? It’s just a showcase for its goddamn cellphones? Then why the hell does it have a new Tron: Legacy trailer? Erg, whatever. There could be a single frame of the end credits shown at some German Bratwurst Enthusiasts convention, and I’d still probably run it.
