| Tron: Legacy (2010) concept art by Ben Procter |
The movie Tron (1982) stands the test of time as a film that was ahead of it's time with stunning visuals created by artists like Moebius and Syd Mead.
When Disney set out to make a sequel to Tron co-writer Brian Klugman noted the importance of the films visualsby saying, "It was remembered not only for story, but a visual style that nobody had ever used before. We are contemporizing it, taking ideas that were ahead of the curve and applying them to the present, and we feel the film has a chance to resonate to a younger audience."
One of many skilled artists that brought the visuals of Tron into the modern age with Tron: Legacy is Ben Procter. He shared his designs for the film on his site BenProcter.com and I wanted to share some of the stunning examples.
Procter is a professional illustrator who's worked on blockbuster movies like Avatar (2009), Superman Returns (2006) and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2007).

He credits Rob Johnson, Darren Gilford, Joe Hiura, Dave Scott, Ben Edelberg, David Levy and Dylan Cole in these designs.

About the Author
Tron Legacy is one of my favorite movies visually.
ReplyDeletePlus the Soundtrack by Daft Punk fits it perfectly.
Those are amazing!
ReplyDeleteI agree with David - it was visually stunning and I really liked it, including the soundtrack. (And I don't usually like soundtracks.)
Forgot that Moebius contributed to the first one.
