Okies — so a while back I babbled about the Tron DVD, and included a link to www.tronkillerapp.com — which appeared to be the beginnings of a promotional site for the rumored Tron 2.0 movie.
Well, tonight I stopped by the site again, and things have changed — a lot. Things are looking very interesting, too. Using a combination of a Flash presentation and a downloadable screensaver, there’s a little bit of backstory being presented.
Apparently a company called fCon has bought ENCOM (the company from the orignal Tron film), and nobody’s entirely sure why — but there are some hackers doing their best to find out. They’ve managed to intercept a few voice mail messages that you can listen to, and even found some very interesting images that can be viewed (18 in the on-site Flash presentation, 10 more in the screensaver). I’ve gotta say, things are looking pretty nice, and I’m definitely looking forward to this coming out.
The work on fCon is hilarious, too. At the site, you can get a little bit of background information on fCon…
fCon is dedicated to creating and controlling the future we know you want. Even if you don’t know it yet, don’t worry. Because we do. And we are committed to making our dream a reality.
…you can check out their privacy policy…
Should you decide to register with fCon, rest assured that any personal information we gather from you will be used for our purposes only, and at no time will any third party involvement occur*.
- “Third party involvement” refers specifically to fCon competitors. Partners, vendors, and other companies that have established a reasonably good faith relationship with fCon (as determined by our senior executives) are clearance eligible for member information on a case by case basis.
…and, of course, you can register for more information…
Just follow these simple instructions to register with fCon (and prove to our Executive Board of Senior Information Executives that you are adept at following simple instructions).
…and it’s all presented like that. Wonderfully condescending — gee, I wonder who they could be poking fun at?
Needless to say, I signed up. ;) This should be entertaining. Sounds like the rumors of the MCP’s demise have been greatly exaggerated…
