Nice! New 'Tron: Legacy' trailer rocks!

Here's another "Tron: Legacy" goody: a brand-new feature trailer filled with new footage. How about that? As usual, it all looks pretty awesome, and you can check it out above. The film opens Dec. 17, 2010.

In the flick, Sam Flynn, the 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn, looks into his father’s disappearance and finds himself pulled into the digital world of Tron where his father has been living for 25 years.

This new preview gives us a nice look at the Grid, and the action looks more spectacular than ever. "Legacy" opens in 3D and in IMAX, and I have a feeling it will storm box office charts without a problem.
