Sneak Peek at Tron: Legacy and original Tron on Blu-ray

I went to see Tron: Legacy with my nephew on my birthday last month and, I’ve got to tell you, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the film. It looks and sounds phenomenal! What an aesthetic triumph! Since then I’ve been foaming at the mouth, desperate to get my hands on any news regarding its release on Blu-ray. Well, Collider looks to have struck gold.

Their Brazilian counterpart, Omelete have landed what looks to be the cover art for the Blu-ray disc along with a list of special features (Sneak peek: Tron: Uprising, the animated series on Disney XD, Installing the Legacy, Launching the Legacy, Visualizing Tron, Videoclip Derezzed, by Daft Punk). This looks about right to me, but I expect a slipcover with a slightly different design when the disc is finally released. Extras appear quite slim here, suggesting that either we’ll see more on the disc or that Disney has a follow up release planned for a later date – perhaps a multi-disc, 3D affair. Only time will tell. For now, this is all still rumour.

Oh, and as to the long awaited original showing up on Blu-ray? The HD Room was able to sneak a look at the package art as it stands now. No guarantees that this is what the final will look like. The disc release was reportedly held from its intended December street date after a poor showing at a theatrical preview of the new, digitally upgraded 1982 film. I guess the studio was wary of the somewhat hokey original tarnishing the brand.

Both films should see release on Blu-ray around March or April. We’ll keep you posted!
