tron 2

Update: Thanks to our pal Maxim Pozderac, we now have video of the goods in store for you, should you try to track down your local Flynn Lives operative. If you're the kind of fan who wants their hands on some cool (and presumably rare) Tron Legacy memorabilia, keep checking FlynnLives.com for updates on the city nearest you.

Last week a bunch of folks received a different colored (red, yellow, blue) diamond-shaped piece of viral awesomeness from the Tron: Legacy people, and it revealed a website that was counting down to 11am EST, today. What has now been revealed over at the official Flynn Lives website is a scavenger hunt that's taking place in cities across the world ... right this very second. Says a note on the site: "We are deploying envoys to 27 locations around the world and we need you to meet up with the Flynn Lives contact in your area. Check the link below to find out when and where this rendezvous will take place. Then, get ready to hit the streets."

Only Chicago, Orlando and Paris are active right now, with directions to head to a certain location (which appear to be arcades or spaces large enough to hold a make-shift arcade) and give someone in a Flynn Lives t-shirt a password, but those of you who live in the following cities should continue to check this site to see when your turn is up: Sydney, Denver, Madrid, Boston, Washington DC, Atlanta, Raleigh, San Diego, New York, Philadelphia, Toronto, Austin, Minneapolis, Nashville, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Las Vegas, Phoenix and London.

If you do head out, let us know what you find. As we saw with similar viral campaigns for films like The Dark Knight, this all will most likely end later today with some sort of trailer premiere (we hope), image reveal ... or perhaps some sort of 3D footage reveal at said locations. Sound off if you happen to find anything cool ...

Not long after the Tron Legacy panel, an awesome teaser trailer arrived online for the sequel. If you're a fan of the original, you'll love this -- and if you've never seen Tron, then I highly suggest you pick that sucker up and watch it before the sequel crashes into theaters next year. The effects here look amazing, and these are only preliminary -- can you imagine what this will look like in 3D? I think we know what next year's most anticipated sci-fi flick will be ... Here's the just-released synopsis:

"TRON 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 father's disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin's loyal confidant (OLIVIA WILDE), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous."

Tron Legacy hits theaters in 2010. Watch the teaser trailer after the jump.

Ripping a page out of Warner Bros.' Dark Knight book, Disney was responsible for what was perhaps this year's coolest Con-related viral marketing ploy. In honor of Tron Legacy, the studio went live with a website that kept giving folks instructions, sending them on a scavenger hunt until finally unveiling Flynn's Arcade. Yup, they actually rented space and set up an 80s-style arcade with video games including Space Paranoids! Also on display in a secret back room was a light cycle from the new film.

The first day of Comic Con is upon us, and what a busy day it is. The Disney 3D panel seemed to be a success, with the biggest news perhaps being that Tron 2 finally has a legitimate title: Tron Legacy. You can see the official logo for the film above. Here's the brand new synopsis for the highly-anticipated (at least for you 80s kids) sequel:

"TRON 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 father's disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin's loyal confidant (OLIVIA WILDE), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous."
