Second “Tron 3” Teaser Now Online Dan Koelsch, March 28, 2011March 29, 2011 The Tron: Legacy Blu-Ray (out on April 5th) promises to have several easter eggs, as would be expected from a film with just a vast viral campaign. We’ve already been leaked a ten minute short film titled “The Next Day”, which both fills in the gap between the two Tron films and teases the third. Now we have a short teaser called “The Dillingers’ Chat” from the same source that gives us more clues to the plot of Tron 3. Cillian Murphy played Encom board member and software engineer Edward Dillinger in TRON: Legacy, part of the corrupt regime that cared more about profits than advancement of technology. Edward is the son of Ed Dillinger (David Warner), the main antagonist of the original TRON film. Elder Dillinger was a VP at Encom thanks to stealing Kevin Flynn’s inventions until Flynn exposed his thievery after going digital. Since the story is that Dillinger was fired from Encom and created his own company, it was surprising that his son is now on the board, creating their main product. Had the son gone rogue? According to this chat between him and his father, apparently not. Thanks to Anton Volkov, uploader of both videos, for giving us the heads up.
