Wow, the hype from Tron: Legacy sure died down quickly didn’t it? For the record, we thought it was pretty awesome, if a bit talky -read our review here -but Disney certainly aren’t the type of company to let FIVE YEARS of extreme social marketing go to waste, as shown by this leaked preview from the upcoming Blu-Ray release of Tron: Legacy. Taking place right after the film’s closing credits, the short revives the Flynn Lives meme and drops a few ‘Clu’s (see what we did there, damn, we should be on TV) about possible sequel storylines.
What do you think, are you up for more Tron, or are you all pixelled out?
Yet more superheroics on STS today, as Thor and Cap are joined by the less well-regarded (at least, inside the Marvel Universe) mutant heroes The X-Men. Here’s the first trailer for upcoming X-Men: First Class (we covered it before, but frankly got a bit distracted by a certain ex-MadMen star..), and it looks -not nearly as bad as we’d thought.
Sure the uniforms are dorky, but have enough 60s flair that they feel real enough, and Magneto’s younger cape/buckethead combo really does resemble his 60s comic counterpart -as does the storyline. Longtime comic fans will recall that the X-Men first encounter the deadly master of magnetism as he invades a missile base…
Whether or not this will work sans a certain razor-clawed mutton chopped killing machine remains to be seen, but based on this it could be some fun classic era espionage action.
Hey- do you llike the idea of a man with a gun telling Nic Cage to do things with Eva Mendes? Do you like free stuff? Then you’re in the right place buddy.

Those of you on the cutting edge of Steampunk – or indeed, those of you who enjoy post-apocalyptic children’s films produced by Tim Burton – will surely be looking forward to Shane Acker’s upcoming full length version of his award winning short 9, seen above.
Following the adventures of the eponymous rag doll as he tries to find his comrades, and put a stop to the evil, mechanical fabricator that’s wiped out most of life on Earth, it promises to be a visually stunning experience with a plot dark and twisting enough to ensnare anyone who sees it.
As you can guess, STS isn’t the only site looking forward to this; but we are one of a very select group with access to all sorts of goodies related to the movie, and maybe, just maybe, you can get your hands on some of them too!
Over the next few days, we’ll be posting a series of articles about the movie, including exclusive footage and an interview with lead voice and well known Hobbit Elijah Wood!
And that’s not all…
Courtesy of the genrous folks at Way To Blue and Focus Features, we’ll have some exclusive prizes and an internet-wide treasure hunt almost as difficult as 9’s own quest. Want to join in? Well, let’s start you off – we’re the first of a group involved in this project : Can you track down the others 8?
