Jeff Bridges promises the new TRON is just as groundbreaking as the 27-year-old original.

The 59-year-old actor and star of the original film came to Comic-Con to help present early footage from TRON: Legacy, due in 2010.

Bridges notes that when TRON was released in 1982, the Internet and personal computers didn't exist. The futuristic tale took viewers to a digitized virtual world, a concept that was decades ahead of its time.

Despite modern moviegoers' everyday interaction with technology, Bridges says he "can guarantee you're going to get the same kind of pop with this one. Everything's going to be super-ized.''

Filmmakers showed some concept sketches and a brief, never-before-seen clip.

Joe Kosinski, Director of Tron, reveals that the sequel was shot using James Cameron’s very own groundbreaking 3D camera system.

“We used a brand new generation of the Pace/Cameron system developed by Vince Pace and James Cameron,” says Kosinski. “I think we’re the first film to use full 35mm sensor cameras in a 3D rig.”
