The movie's namesake was a program writen by Alan Bradley (Bruce Boxleitner). Yet, I don't see him (Tron, not Burce, him I saw) anywhere, trailer or IMDB entry.
Um. He was in trailer 2 and 3. The bit where he tells Sam "I got a call on my pager from your dad, his number's been disconnected for 30 years..."

Basically in that game, your character was the son of Alan digitized into the system and you were essentially Tron 2.0 at that point.

For this movie, I suspect TRON may show up to lend a hand near the end thus repaying Flynn for his aid with the MCP.
It would be lovely if there was at least a passing reference to Alan's son Jet in the movie.

I see myself as witty, urbane, highly talented, hugely successful with a keen sense of style. Plus of course my own special brand of modesty.

But that's Alan, not Tron.

Yeah but as TRON 2.0 didn't exactly set sales records, I'm not expecting it. Too bad to, a very excellent, fun game that was sadly underrated.
