The geeks are getting pretty excited about the upcoming sequel to the 1982 hacker movie Tron. Kevin Flynn, played by Jeff Bridges in both movies, is the protagonist. The soundtrack for the sequel is by Daft Punk, and the website that has been put up for the soundtrack contains an excellent easter egg – an ascii image of Flynn/Bridges from the first movie.

See TronSoundtrack.com and view source, you’ll see the image. Note that we haven’t actually confirmed that this is an official site for the movie or the soundtrack, but it looks legitimate and it’s cool either way.

Thanks for the tip Raffel.
