For those that didn’t have the pleasure of growing up when the original movie, Tron, was one of the most visually ambitious movies to date, you will absolutely have the pleasure of enjoying a follow-up film with an equally ambitious style, the original set of actors, and a film-maker who has his roots in architecture. It is set for release in 2010.

While this might be old news to those that frequent Comic Con, I still think it’s relevant in the design community, mostly because I love to see how worlds get (re)interpreted and crafted within their respective media. This film specifically for me always ran style parallel to substance, thus Kosinski was a very compelling choice to helm the project. Kosinski was once half of KDLab, and has worked in varying capacities with Nike, Chevy, Lincoln, and Hummer amongst others. His style is refined, beautifully desaturated, and overtly architectural. If you’ve thought it might be a good idea to buy a Lincoln after you saw this commercial, you can thank Kosinski.

In any event, talking about the nuances of the actual film will remain pure speculation at this point, and I would run the risk of aggravating a much nerdier crowd than I with mis-hits about the history, plot, or specificities relative to character development. So for now I would say, enjoy the trailer and visuals. Be inspired.
