Hey... Did you notice the play on Solaris/SunOS in the trailer? ;D
When he brushes the dust from the touchscreen-console, the output of bin/iostat reads, similar to uname -srvmpi on Solaris machines:

SolarOS 4.0.1 Generic_50203-xx sun4m i386 Unknown.Unknown

Weird Architecture, the "xorg" in the linux-style-"top" (in 1989 when the arkade was abandonded)... But nevertheless: There's a SunOS reference in the Movie!

I found a screenshot...
It's only clearly visible in HD-Trailers (Youtube has one in 1080p...)

Tron - How cool is that ! Was the first SciFi movie I really loved. And it was the base of my first and only blockgrafics game I wrote on my tuned Atari 600 XL

Have to see that remake

It's not a remake, it's a follow-on ...
