Press Release from Disney Consumer Products (DCP)
NEW YORK – June 22, 2010 – Disney Consumer Products (DCP) today unveiled a first look at its unprecedented fall line-up of /TRON: Legacy/ inspired electronics and toys (#TronMerch), including the first-ever action figures to feature impulse light projection technology. Also unveiled were high-end lifestyle headphones and advanced computer peripherals for gaming enthusiasts, illuminated iPod docks, high-quality ear buds and iPhone cases; and break-through zero-gravity vehicles that travel up and down walls. Walt Disney Picture's /TRON: Legacy/, starring Academy Award winning actor Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde, will take audiences on a thrilling action-packed adventure in a unique virtual world when it hits theaters Dec. 17, 2010 in Disney Digital 3D and IMAX 3D.
Featuring dark finishes, neon lighting and a cyber aesthetic, DCP's new /TRON: Legacy/ line will immerse kids and adults alike into the amazing, illuminated cyber world of TRON. Developed in collaboration with leading industry innovators including Spinmaster, Monster, Performance Designed Products (PDP) and Razer, TRON products will be available at retail beginning this October and will be showcased at the San Diego Comic Con International Convention next month giving fans an exclusive first look.
"/TRON: Legacy/ is a cutting-edge film with a unique futuristic feel, and we wanted to create products with new technology and high-end design that live up to what you will see on screen," said Chris Heatherly, VP of toys and electronics, Disney Consumer Products. "This is not a typical movie line. We're working exclusively with trailblazers who normally do not do movie merchandise, but they believed so passionately in TRON that they jumped at the chance to help us make great products."
