and a Facebook page has been established - http://www.facebook.com/Tron
The new logo on what appears to be a teaser poster:
From G4's coverage of the Disney panel - a description of the clip that was shown:
In the clip: We see Sam Flynn enter his father's decrepit arcade. He walks though the dusty room, while period-metal plays. He walks toward the back of the arcade, where a Tron machine is running. Puts a quarter in. It falls out. The cabinet swings off the wall, and Flynn steps behind it, presumably into the game world of Tron.
Looks like Disney pulled off one of the more memorable viral events last night at Comic Con. They recreated Flynn's arcade complete with playable Space Paranoids machines and a lifesize lightcycle from the new film.
