There have been a number of rumblings in the film news world about another Tron film being released by Disney, including word that it would be in 3D, and even that Jeff Bridges was going to be hearing a pitch about a sequel. No actual information had been confirmed though.

Until now.

Courtesy of the folks at Disney, Comic Con got a surprise look at a scene from the film. The teaser starts off with the camera panning through a strange stylized landscape. At this point, nobody knew what we were watching, so only silence filled the hall. And then, two blue/yellow suit-wearing motorcyclists burst into frame, engaged in a frenzy of a race. Audiences erupted in applause.

The race continues to grow heated between the two players until the yellow guy finds a way to swerve in front of the blue, leaving his yellow race trail behind him. The blue guy smashes into it and causes sort of an electric ripple, launching him over the edge of the track. He grabs on a ledge, just barely holding on.

We then see a bearded Jeff Bridges in his house, sitting calmly with his legs crossed.Tr2n.

Stupid title aside, this clip was easily enough to heighten my anticipation for this film. Not only is it just incredibly awesome to see Jeff Bridges go back to a character he played before he was a household name, but the way the graphics have been updated is slick without being unfaithful to the original. In a way, I’ve been convinced the sequel is no longer an unnecessary Hollywood cashgrab, because the contrast between the old and the new is very reminiscent of what recent generations have been experiencing with constantly updated video game graphics/technology.

Apparently, it will be about a year until any other footage for the film will be seen. Hopefully this means Disney is planning on having a full-on panel presentation next year.

Is this a good birthday present?  A good friend of mine's birthday was last April and I still haven't bought her a gift and I am having the hardest time because her taste is unpredictable.

If you don't think this bracelet = a good present, then offer me some suggestions that aren't too expensive?  Or even if you think the bracelet is a good idea, give me suggestions anyway - thank you!!

A couple of former Pumpkins are ripe for courting.

James Iha and D'Arcy Wretzky-Brown, original strummers for alt-rock hitmakers the Smashing Pumpkins, have sued Virgin Records America, claiming the band's former longtime label screwed them out of royalties for ringtones, file downloads and other "electronic transmissions."

According to the lawsuit filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Virgin inked an exclusive deal with frontman Billy Corgan in 2005 to license their tunes without Iha's and D'arcy's OKs.

"Such unauthorized commercial exploitation by Virgin constitutes a material breach under a recording agreement" the plaintiffs and Corgan entered into with the label in 1998, which included clauses covering distribution channels and "technology...hereafter developed," the suit states.

The deal, which came after the Smashing Pumpkins' acclaimed double-disc album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness was certified eight-times platinum, was meant to give the band—which by 1999 would no longer include D'arcy—"significant control and approval rights over the creation, marketing and sale of their recordings."

The rest of the Pumpkins, who by then had added former Hole bassist Melissa Auf der Maur to the mix, disbanded in 2001. Corgan, whose solo career and musical exploits with Zwan produced underwhelming results, and original drummer Jimmy Chamberlin revived the band in 2006.

According to Iha and D'arcy, when Virgin approached Corgan in 2005, it constituted a breach of the contract inked in 1998 and left the guitarist and bassist in the dust when it came to the band's new-media spoils.

The creatively coiffed plaintiffs are asking for unspecified general, special and incidental damages to compensate for breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment and accounting violations.

But while Iha and D'arcy aren't in on the Smashing Pumpkins 2.0 (which is signed to Reprise Records), the duo reteamed with Corgan in March on another lawsuit aimed at Virgin, this one because their ex-label allowed the band's name to be used in a promo campaign for Pepsi Stuff.

According to their complaint, the campaign "deceived and confused the public into believing that [the band is] affiliated with the promotion" by promising consumers free and discounted Pumpkins song downloads at Amazon.com in exchange for points accumulated from buying Pepsi products.

The trio maintain that Virgin only has the right to sell online downloads of tunes the band wrote and recorded while signed with the label and that Virgin had no right to use them to peddle unrelated products.

We should have more details on the project soon from JoBlo's humanoids on-site at Comic Con, but for now here's a glimpse at Rose McGowan as fire-haired warrior babe RED SONJA.

The movie is produced (but not directed) by Robert Rodriguez, and brings CONAN creator Robert E. Howard's mythical vengeance-driven, sword-swinging, chainmail-bikini clad female fighter to life. The busty character, once made famous in the pages of Marvel Comics, has seen a healthy resurgence in recent years thanks to a top-selling comic series from Dynamite
