Has everyone seen the new trailer for Tron Legacy? It starts with a
scene in the arcade, and has lotsof classics. The Tron reads "Encom"
on the marquee and coin door... :)

Does anyone know who they got the games from for the scene? Maybe
multiple collectors? Or a big collector in California or elsewhere?

Not sure who supplied the games, but that trailer is SICK.
Can't wait for the movie. :)

Filmed in Vancouver, BC

It was fun to wander around the sets...

Our artist, Keali, was an extra.

That's very cool, John! Did you provide the prop Tron game, also?

No, but we did help find the Tron Environmental game that was used in
the arcade - no idea if it shows up in the final cut though.

As I recall the Tron game shown in the trailer was brought up from the US.

You can catch a glimpse of the Environmental in the trailer, during a
side shot of the Tron cabinet.
