Tron: Uprising still doesn’t look half bad

1 May 2012 Rob Buckley Film, US TV 1 Comment

We’re on to trailer two for the Disney series, which is going to feature the likes of Elijah Wood, Mandy Moore, Lance Henriksen and (yey!) Bruce Boxleitner. And it’s still looking good, although I’m still not seeing anything too new, you know – more retreads of existing things as with Tron: Legacy. What do you think?

For those that want it, this is the show description:

“TRON: Uprising, Beck’s Beginning,” introduces a Beck, a young mechanic living in Argon City, a growing metropolis in a far off corner of the grid that has just been occupied by General Tesler, a henchman of the notorious Clu. After his best friend Bodhi is ruthlessly derezzed by Clu’s army, Beck seeks justice for his lost friend and launches a crusade against the regime. His rebellion captures the attention of Tron, the greatest warrior The Grid has ever known, who sees the potential in Beck and trains him to be his successor. Labeled with the moniker of The Renegade, Beck sparks a revolution to fight for the freedom of The Grid.”
