What if the original “TRON” were marketed today?

With “TRON Legacy” just around the virtual corner, those of us who grew up with the original “TRON” are dusting off those DVDs and getting ready for the next part of the story nearly 30 years later. One enterprising fan, though, with a real eye for creating interest in a movie without giving the whole thing away (take note, Hollywood), decided to redo the trailer for the original “TRON” in a more modern blockbuster-movie style. Original trailer, and incredible new recut after the break.Here’s the original trailer from 1982, taken off the DVD special features:

And compare that with the new trailer that YouTube user DrewboiX made:

Now, which movie would YOU rather go see? I’ll be sure to be watching my copy of the original again before this summer’s release of the new chapter in the story of Flynn. I leave you with the trailer for “TRON Legacy” coming out 12/17/2010.

Personally, this geek can’t wait.
