This inspired us to make the iconic Light Cycle, a fundamental element of the TRON universe.” Tom and Drew’s small childhood collection of LEGO bricks inspired them to come up with their own scenarios and builds. In designing their LEGO Ideas project, “We went through several models before settling on a design we both liked. We wanted to get the scale of the Light Cycle to LEGO Minifigure right, and the overall color scheme had to reflect the TRON feel.” “We were very happy to achieve the milestone of 10,000 votes, and this being our first LEGO Ideas project adds to the overall joy. It was a great experience gathering support, as well as receiving great comments along the way. Creating a successful project can be hard and it can take time, so we would say not to rush things when creating a model, as you can always come back to it with new ideas and creativity.” MARK TANTER, JUNYA SUZUKI & Samuel Johnson 3 LEGO® Senior Designers Junya Suzuki and Samuel Johnson teamed up to transform Drew and Tom’s idea into an official LEGO model. “We’re both big fans of the TRON movies, since seeing the first movie as kids, and it was epic!” says Junya. “One of the biggest challenges we faced during the development of the model was that the original LEGO Ideas submission was fantastic, but it was designed for stationary display. We decided to change the design slightly so it could roll smoothly, like in the movie. The final model is packed with fine detailing, smooth lines and curves, plus awesome graphics. It really recreates the Light Cycle in the perfect way for this scale.” LEGO Graphic Designer Mark Tranter was responsible for the decoration on the finished model and characters. “I have always loved the look of the original TRON costumes, they were so iconic and retro. What I love about the new look in TRON: Legacy is that it keeps a similar retro feel, like an ‘80s vision of the future. The updated costumes keep the ‘TRON-Lines’ running over modern-looking body armor, and that was really fun to explore.” 4 Disney’s TRON: Legacy is the sequel to the 1982 cult classic sci-fi movie, TRON. It follows the adventures of Sam Flynn, a brave but reckless young man who finds himself digitized into a computer world of living programs and futuristic vehicles. Equipped with an identity disc and forced to compete in the dangerous Games, he must battle and race if he hopes to survive. But Sam won’t be alone. Quorra, a mysterious woman who works with Sam’s long-lost father, Kevin Flynn, rescues him. Years ago, Kevin tried to create the perfect computer system, but he was betrayed by a program called Clu. Now it is up to Sam and Quorra to prevent Clu and his warrior program Rinzler from succeeding in their plan to escape and conquer the real world. Released in 2010, Joseph Kosinski directed TRON: Legacy for Walt Disney Pictures. It stars Garrett Hedlund as Sam Flynn, Olivia Wilde as Quorra, and Jeff Bridges as Kevin Flynn and Clu. Sam is the son of Kevin Flynn, the human hero of the original TRON film. He is smart, confident, adventurous and always 5 willing to take risks. His search for his missing father leads Sam to be pulled into the digital reality of the Grid, where he is tested in a series of gladiatorial games before confronting the system’s corrupt ruling program. Quorra is a strong young woman and one of the Grid’s greatest drivers. A digital life form that came into existence within the computer system itself, she was rescued in the Outlands by Kevin Flynn and now acts as his trusted apprentice. Her mentor’s stories about the real world beyond her virtual reality have filled Quorra with a desire to experience it for herself. The silent, masked Rinzler is the loyal henchman and enforcer to Clu, the corrupt ruler of the Grid. He waits by his master’s side until given commands, which he carries out without hesitation or doubt. The most skilled fighter in the system, he is also the only program who makes use of 2 identity discs. Originally known as TRON, Rinzler’s identity came into being when TRON was “repurposed” by Clu. 1 2 3 4 6 1 2 7 1 8 2x 9 1x 2 1x 1 10 2x 1x 4 3 11 1 2 1x 1x 5 12 1x 1x 4x 2x 2x 3x 7 6 13 1x 1x 2x 1x 8 14 1x 10 1x 9 15 2x 1x 12 11 16 1 2 1x 1x 13 17 2x 1x 4x 2x 3x 1x 15 14 18 1x 1x 2x 2x 1x 17 16 19 18 20 21 2 1x 1 22 2x 2x 2 3 23 1x 1x 2x 4 5 24 2x 2x 2x 6 7 2x 25 2x 1x 1x 8 9 26 2x 2x 1x 1x 10 11 2x 27 1x 13 1x 1x 12 28 1x 1x 1x 1x 14 15 29 1x 1x 1x 16 17 30 1x 1x 1x 18 19 31 1x 21 1x 1x 20 32 1x 1x 1x 1x 22 23 33 24 34 1 2 1x 1x 2x 25 35 1x 1x 1x 26 27 36 1x 1x 1x 28 29 37 1x 1x 30 38 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 31 1 2 3 4 2x 39 1x 1x 32 40 2x 2x 1 2 3 2x 2x 2x 33 41 1x 34 42 2x 2 1x 1 43 2x 1x 2x 3 4 44 1x 2x 5 6 45 2x 2x 2x 7 8 2x 46 2x 2x 1x 1x 9 10 2x 47 1x 1x 11 48 1x 13 1x 1x 12 49 1x 1x 1x 1x 14 15 50 1x 1x 1x 16 17 51 1x 1x 1x 18 19 52 1x 21 1x 1x 20 53 1x 1x 1x 1x 22 23 54 24 55 1 2 1x 1x 2x 25 56 1x 1x 1x 26 27 57 1x 1x 1x 28 29 58 1x 1x 30 59 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 31 1 2 3 4 2x 60 1x 1x 32 61 2x 2x 1 2 3 2x 2x 2x 33 62 1x 34 63 64 4x 4x 10x 1x 4143005 6x 4x 4x 6181713 6092585 6228430 243126 4211535 4542590 4x 4x 4x 1x 1x 4514553 6156991 6234182 6157554 6118815 2x 8x 6138067 4x 6045912 2x 6186675 2x 4x 1x 2x 6133692 6228439 6184784 6228424 4153989 2x 4x 307026 6116608 6x 8x 2x 8x 6097419 4515350 6228441 370026 1x 4x 6116593 6228443 4x 8x 6181720 6115080 1x 6119107 4x 2x 1x 4x 1x 4560182 6100958 6228406 4618880 2x 6217663 4210726 1x 2x 4x 2x 6120915 4183544 6146926 1x 362326 6155002 1x 2x 4x 6228281 4525236 1x 6x 6214341 6051920 4177932 1x 1x 1x 6232035 6228262 6074793 1x 1x 4x 1x 6021936 6147047 2x 4x 6228414 366626 6150297 6210270 Customer Service 1x 6x 6227724 2x 4667222 Kundenservice 2x 1x 4541191 4550017 10x 6210229 Service Consommateurs 663626 Servicio Al Consumidor 1x 8x 2x 4586557 1x 1x 6227671 LEGO.com/service or dial 4515340 4542673 6003478 : 4x 4x 4x 4x 4x 1x 00800 5346 5555 6196548 6132731 6039869 4100378 6228444 6163633 : 1-800-422-5346 SHARE YOUR IDEA LEGO® REVIEW TEILE DEINE IDEE LEGO® PRÜFUNG PARTAGE TON IDÉE EXAMEN PAR LEGO® CONDIVIDI LA TUA IDEA REVIEW LEGO® COMPARTE TU IDEA REVISIÓN DE LEGO® PARTILHA A TUA IDEIA AVALIAÇÃO LEGO® TEDD KÖZZÉ AZ ÖTLETED LEGO® VÉLEMÉNYEZÉS 分享您的观点 乐高®评论 GATHER SUPPORT HOL’ DIR UNTERSTÜTZUNG RASSEMBLE DES VOTES CHIEDI DI ESSERE SUPPORTATO GANA APOYOS OBTÉM APOIO SZEREZZ TÁMOGATÁST 获得更多支持 66 NEW LEGO® PRODUCT NEUES LEGO® PRODUKT NOUVEAU PRODUIT LEGO® NUOVO PRODOTTO LEGO® NUEVO PRODUCTO LEGO® NOVO PRODUTO LEGO® ÚJ LEGO® TERMÉK 新的乐高®产品 LEGO.com/ideas 67 Do you like this LEGO® Ideas Set?

  • The “Tron: Legacy”
    Release Date: December 16 Rating: TBC Run time: TBC rom Walt Disney Pictures comes “TRON: Legacy,” a high-tech adventure set in a digital world that is unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Directed by F Joseph Kosinski, “TRON: Legacy” stars Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde, Bruce Boxleitner, James Frain, Beau Garrett and Michael Sheen and is produced by Sean Bailey, Jeffrey Silver and Steven Lisberger, with Donald Kushner serving as executive producer, and Justin Springer and Steve Gaub co-producing. The “TRON: Legacy” screenplay was written by Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz; story by Edward Kitsis & Adam Horowitz and Brian Klugman & Lee Sternthal; based on characters created by Steven Lisberger and Bonnie MacBird. Presented in Disney Digital 3D™, Real D 3D and IMAX® 3D and scored by Grammy® Award–winning electronic music duo Daft Punk, “TRON: Legacy” features cutting-edge, state-of-the-art technology, effects and set design that bring to life an epic adventure coursing across a digital grid that is as fascinating and wondrous as it is beyond imagination. At the epicenter of the adventure is a father-son story that resonates as much on the Grid as it does in the real world: Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), a rebellious 27-year-old, is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his father, Kevin Flynn (Oscar® and Golden Globe® winner Jeff Bridges), a man once known as the world’s leading tech visionary. When Sam investigates a strange signal sent from the old Flynn’s Arcade—a signal that could only come from his father—he finds himself pulled into a digital grid where Kevin has been trapped for 20 years.

  • Music by Daft Punk Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
    ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK MUSIC BY DAFT PUNK © Disney Enterprises, Inc. I had been listening to Daft Punk for almost ten years before I met them at the 101 Coffee Shop in Hollywood one morning in November 2007. I sat down not knowing what to expect, and I was immediately struck by their deep knowledge and love of film and particularly the sanctity in which they held Steven Lisberger’sTRON. It quickly became clear to me that this had the potential to be an exciting collaboration. With topics that ranged from Bernard Hermann to Wendy Carlos, the discussion revealed a shared desire to create a score that blended classic orchestral themes with an electronic minimalism in a way that had never been done before. I walked out knowing that there was an opportunity here to create something truly special. Now, three years later, we are in the final stages of mixing and the result has truly exceeded my high expectations. Because the score was developed in parallel with the production of the film, I’ve had the opportunity to live with it for over a year now and it never fails to thrill and inspire me as we near the finish line. I am excited for you to experience Daft Punk’s first contribution to the world of film scoring – I have a feeling it won’t be their last. Joseph Kosinski / September 2010 © Disney Enterprises, Inc. More than twenty five years ago I inspired Daft Punk with the originalTRON. With this score, that inspiration has come back to me in full measure.

  • Joseph Kosinski's Oblivion, an Apocalyptic Genesis
    “Nostalgia for Eden”: Joseph Kosinski’s Oblivion, An Apocalyptic Genesis Loraine Haywood University of Newcastle Abstract Through the science fiction genre, Joseph Kosinski’s film Oblivion is a modern parable for contemporary contexts. The film encourages viewers to leave constructed narratives of patriarchy that constitute notions of oblivion, and seek for origins and truth found in sacred relationships with God, each other and the earth. Oblivion is a theological odyssey set against a backdrop of an apocalyptic future earth which is explored through three main characters in narratives of Eden/paradise. Themes explored in the film encourage an Ecofeminist theological resolution by simulating the defeat of patriarchy and gender symbolism. The film’s ending seems to suggest that whatever separates us from achieving ecological and theological healing is still to be overcome - it is up to us. Introduction Joseph Kosinski’s film Oblivion (2013)1 can be read as a contemporary interpretation of the Garden of Eden myth (Gen 1-3). The film is set in an apocalyptic future where a computer generated alien ‘God’ figure named Sally continually repeats the act of genesis on a future Earth. In the film narrative, the Genesis myth acts as a symbolic stage for human relationships which are continually interceded by the alien Sally whose intentions are to deplete the oceans of water and transform it into energy for her 1 departure from Earth. The significance of the Genesis myth is that it supplies a narrative of humankind’s nostalgia for the idea of ‘home’ and origins: paradise and Eden. In effect, Oblivion places the repetition of Sally’s permanent present, the resetting of paradise over and over again, into a timeless now, against a true genesis narrative of the heroes, Jack and Julia, who break through the veneer of this ever-present to reclaim true time and place.
