Director Joseph Kosinski who’s helming Tron Legacy aka Tron 2 talked to MTV about the upcoming sequel to Tron:
“Our approach is not like Avatar, which I think is 3-D from the first shot to the last. Ours is sort of a ‘Wizard of Oz’ approach. Ninety-eight percent of the 3-D is in the world of Tron. The 3-D really starts once we get into the Tron world.
[…]
It’s a combination of technologies that Zemeckis has been using in terms of the completely digital motion-capture of a character and for the live-action camera system. We used a camera developed by James Cameron’s company. We used a newer generation of camera than the one used on Avatar. They built it specifically for us.
[…]
I would say the movie is not far removed [from the comic-con teaser]. The teaser, at least tonally, represented the direction I wanted to take it. That sequence actually doesn’t appear in our film at all. It represents a period of time before our film begins. We were able to refine the design of the light cycles, the characters, the world and kind of flesh it out to a much higher level of detail than we were able to do for the test. What we’re going to see in the film will feel a lot more photorealistic. They did that test with eight or 10 people in a matter of months. We have thousands of people working on the film. It’s a whole different scale.”

TRON LEGACY
I was impressed by this teaser, so if this was just made from test footage, I’m gonna be flabbergasted by the movie when it will hit theaters!
Damn impatient to watch the movie Tron legacy!
