If you follow my Twitter or Facebook, you will know how big of a geek I have been about Disney’s TRON: Legacy. A lot of people have faint memories regarding the original TRON and one of the memories that stand out the most is the infamous Light Cycles. Well, it was only a matter of time before someone created a pretty awesome motorcycle helmet themed after the movie. Parisian motorcycle helmet designer, Les Ateliers Ruby has created a limited edition TRON themed open faced motorcycle helmet feature the every iconic blue and white circuit board graphics. These “Ruby & TRON” helmets aren’t for sale yet, but there is speculation that these helmets will go for a pretty penny. Most likely over $1,500.00+. Yikes! I really dig the old school design of the helmet and it would look freakin’ bad ass if you are a “Cafe Racer” enthusiast.

Couple weeks ago, Threadless’ monthly art contest to determine their new shirt design featured an incredibly cool TRON inspired shirt and hoodie by Rolf Nelson AKA martiandrivein. The “TRON shirt” features are really cool “glow in the dark” feature where the cool line graphics illuminate just like in the movie. Unfortunately, it seems the reality of seeing such a cool shirt being made is a bit slim considering the lack of support the shirt garnered during the contest. Regardless, I was completely sold when I saw that shirt considering that epic-ness of the new upcoming sequel. Cheers to you Rolf Nelson. You sir, are a winner in my book.

The game has changed…
Get ready to drool some more. After the epic teaser trailer for TRON Legacy, we finally get the first movie poster. Very simple, yet action packed. The new poster features “Flynn Jr.” racin’ on a spiffy new upgraded light cycle with two yellow baddies on his six. On top of this cool poster, an image from the movie was released which features a lovely short haired Olivia Wilde. It’s killing me to see those illuminating line hug her body. I never wanted to be a line as much as I do right now.
TRON Legacy drops in theatres and IMAX in December 2010. Hit the jump to check out Olivia in her lighted glory.
