“TRON: Legacy” News Round-Up: Featurettes, Advanced Screenings, & Flynn’s Arcade Comes To London Dan Koelsch, December 1, 2010December 1, 2010 Yesterday was TRON Tuesday again, but instead of something really interesting, we just got three featurettes for the film. Also, Norelco joins the long list of companies cross-promoting with TRON: Legacy, and a Flynn’s Arcade opens up in London. Details and videos after the break. The three featurettes focus on the character Clu and the story: Along with other contests, Philips Norelco is offering free advanced screenings across the nation for TRON: Legacy in IMAX 3D. Some are already sold out, so get to the official site quickly to see if any are available. As far as I can tell, all the screenings are on December 15th, two days before the film opens in theaters. Speaking of cross-marketing, HP’s UK division is sponsoring a limited opening of Flynn’s Arcade in London. Check out a few of the photos from Unfiction member “fluff”. Unforunately, the place closes on Thursday, so if you want to play any games or see the awesome light show, you better hurry. BONUS: Here’s a video about the Light Bike design.
