TRON

(2) Japanese B2 (20" x 29")
Very Fine Rolled
Buena Vista, 1982

This wonderful lot features the two styles used in Japan for the ground-breaking film. These colorful Japanese B2s put brightness and bravery on display. One in the form of the defiant character of Tron dead center, showing off the film's impressive visual savvy. These stunning rolled Japanese posters offered here feature a great portrait of Jeff Bridges in the form of the defiant character of Tron, and the other immersing us in the video game battle.

The English style has pinholes in the top two corners and some small scuffs in the character's right arm. All are supported with tape on the verso. With border wear as well. The cast style has pinholes in the upper corners.

When Steven Lisberger first saw the video game Pong, he was inspired to write a story that took place entirely within the software world of a mainframe computer. This story would eventually become the movie Tron (1982). One of the first films to use computer animation and graphics extensively, Tron quickly became a landmark in filmmaking technology. Starring Jeff Bridges, Bruce Boxleitner, and David Warner, the film received mixed-to-positive reviews on its initial release but has become a cult classic in the years since, spawning a sequel (Tron: Legacy) and a TV series (Tron: Uprising).
