Tron Legacy 2010

EDIT: Watch the SICK trailor HERE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1dHhktFLPs)! This makes my idea posted below seem like doo-doo. It all depends on what ya like I guess...


I have not heard much about this one. Are you ready for an update to this film? I wish my idea could have been pitched to the movie studios for the Tron movie. I would have liked for CGI sets to be added around the footage already made for the original film. This would have saved thema TON of money and would have made an already awesome cheese fest - CGI CHEESY-ER! I would have LOVED to have seen that or at least a test sample of what is possible. I would actually like to see a few older films touched up with CGI but with TRON I would do more than touch up. All the bad animation would be replaced with bad ass special effects and the sets would make Blade Runner lool like Toxic Avenger!

Oh wells, Enough about that! What about this NEW Tron LEGACY? Thumbs up or down? What say you?


Take a look at R&R's new bike below!

Allow me to bump this once more to add THIS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9szn1QQfas) awesome teaser! Boy oh LORDY this is some serious hype! I LOVE movies I can get excited about! Its gonna be in digital 3D and shown in iMax theaters! I am glad iMax has caught on and I am thrilled 3D is now the "in thing". Quintin Tarantino is talkig about making the NEXT volume of the Kill BIll series could be in 3D. Knowing QT I bet only part of the film will be in 3D and I also bet that he has not even thought of that yet but he will. I am good like that! 3D Kill Bill would be awesome and QT says he wished he would have done the first 2 volumes in 3D.


TRON is the business!

Yeah, I kinda forgot about that movie but yeah, he was in that too. Pretty good movie! He was in Tron as well. He looks like a God of the Tron universe now.

[mountain_rage]

wow you can see his cock......niiiiiice.......

[Mels_Smileys45]

Looks like a camels toe! Somethings not right with that boy!

ok so I saw this trailer last night in 3d when I saw Alice in Wonderland and almost shat myself in awe and excitement.

This will be one of THE movies to see this year and will define what a good cyberpunk movie should be and be a visually intense one at that. The story sounds brilliant and hopefully it plays well on screen, good to see Bridges back in the roll of Flynn and Clu.

I am freaking stoked

As "Clash of the Titans" enters its second weekend of release and is expected to drop at the box office after its $60+ million opening, the 3-D debate will only continue: Are audiences wising up to the type of subpar 3-D presented in postproduction-converted films like "Clash" and the rash of others coming down the pipeline?

Into this debate comes "Tron Legacy," perhaps the buzziest big-budget flick since "Avatar," a sci-fi action flick set within the world of a computer mainframe and which is natively shot in 3-D. As producer Justin Springer explained to MTV News, the minds behind "Legacy" decided to shoot their film using 3-D cameras, despite some of the difficulties it presents in the filmmaking process, because that's the only way to deliver the most robust, natural 3-D experience.

"There's so many post-conversion 3-D movies out or coming out," he said. "It's the in-vogue thing to do. Clearly the jury's out on post-conversion. From our standpoint, we wanted to shoot in 3-D because we're transporting the audience to this digital world and we thought 3-D is the perfect medium to do that because it allows for such an immersive experience. We didn't want to use it as a gimmick."

"Shooting a movie in 3-D is hard," he continued. "The camera equipment is cumbersome, it's time-consuming, it's expensive, it limits some of the ways you can shoot the movie. You have to make the decision, 'Is this right for the movie?' That's what we decided."

At the same time that Springer and his colleagues are continuing to work on "Legacy," they're also planning for the future. Twenty-eight years will have passed between the appearance of the original "Tron" in the summer of 1982 and the December 2010 arrival of its 3-D stand-alone sequel, "Tron Legacy." If all goes according to plan, Disney would prefer that just a tad less time passes before a third of these sci-fi adventures hits the big screen.

That's why the studio has already hired back "Legacy" screenwriters Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz to pen the script for what could become "Tron" number three. During out interview, Springer explained emphasized that their plans have nothing to do with presumption and everything to do with diligent planning if all goes well. He also dropped some clues about what the film might look like.

" 'Legacy' definitely ends in a way that there are opportunities to continue the story," he said.

How long that story continues remains to be determined. While differing reports have suggested that "Legacy" would be either the first or — counting the '82 original — the second film in a planned trilogy, Springer suggested the exact plan remains to be determined.

"I think it's unclear," he said. "I don't think we'd presume that we can make another two movies and stop at a third if the next ones were successful. Obviously, we're second. The 1982 movie precedes us and then I don't know. We're just starting to talk about what the next movie might be if we were successful with 'Legacy.' The franchise can continue as long as there's an audience for it and there are stories to tell."

While Springer seems to suspect the cast would return — including Garrett Hedlund, Jeff Bridges and Olivia Wilde, who presumably have contractual return options — he was hesitant to make such a categorical statement. "It's a little premature to say," he said. "It'd be difficult for me to presume that there are."

Such is the case with director Joseph Kosinski as well — while he's not yet inked a deal to return, all signs seem to indicate he will. "The announcement in The Hollywood Reporter was specifically tied to that fact that Kitsis and Horowitz were brought back," Springer said. "They weren't in a position to report where everyone else is at. There's a lot of other stuff to be figured out and ideally we'll keep the whole team intact. It's not like Joe's not going to do it. It's just early."

Early indeed, and Springer stressed that making plans for a third "Tron" was not based on a bigheaded stance that the December film is going to be a hit. "It's not meant to be a presumptuous thing, like, 'We're gonna go out and make a sequel because we know our movie is going to be successful,' " he said. "It's more about proper planning. The production time on these things is so lengthy. It was a three-year process to make 'Tron Legacy' and clearly it's been built as a franchise. To be able to stay on track — should our movie be successful at the end of this year — we wanted to be prepared to be able to make the next movie in the next three years, as opposed to having to wait another five."

Disney is not alone in such franchise planning, of course.

Paramount, for example, announced a release date for "Transformers 3" three months before the theatrical release of the second film. Warner Brothers went so far as to announce the release date for the eighth and final "Harry Potter" film five months ahead of the release of the sixth "Potter."

For now, the "Tron" folks are plowing ahead with visual-effects work on "Legacy" and are only beginning to form a battle plan for a third flick. "We're starting the sequel process and starting to come up with concepts for what that is and starting to perhaps write a script," Springer said. "It's all at the very early stages and it'll be good preparation for a sequel, should we be successful."

Of all the damn movies of the 80's to do a 3D movie of as a remake of, Tron has to be the worst. Graphics wisen it was way ahead of it's time. I remember when the arcade game out there was a nation compition to crown the champ. The gane was just as, if not worse then the movie.

I would have sooner seen the movie industry remake Teen Wolf into a 3D then Tron.
The biggest draw back to the original Tron (in my opinion so it has to count for something) was the casting of the scond worst actor in movie history Bruce Boxlitner.(sic)
He was also the biggest draw back to one of the greatest SCI FI TV series ever Babylon 5.
You may start the ranting my good friend Mel.

[Mels_Smileys45]

Your statements speak for themselves...to bad its total RUBBISH!

[YWD67]

I stand corrected, the only other moive that could have been remade that would have been worse was another Disney company movie.
The Black Hole (1979) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078869/)
Tron comes in a very, very close second in bad picks for a remake.

Being a fan of the original Clash of the Titans and a big Ray Harryhausen (http://www.rayharryhausen.com/)fan, I find the current remake of that moive a smoldering piece of animal dung.
Hollywod can not come up with any kind of new ideas for SCI FI or Fantasy movies so they are relying on CGI to make a movie, and have little in the way of a new stroy line.

You may start the ranting my good friend Mel.It is not a remake of the original. It is a sequel.

To each their own, you like to shit on most Sci-fi related stuff posted here so I just assume you are not into the genre. Lucky though you have something called a choice not to see it or like that it is being made.

I think it is fucking awesome IMO and I will spend money to see it

Thanks for that!

Were it not for you insulting The Black Hole, I would have never been able to remember it.

Time for beer and pizza!

I don't know YWD, Tron wasn't the best movie ever, but it was pleasantly flavored with cheese. Few movies are able to suck as much as Tron, while still being enjoyable. I remember I felt the same about the Mario movie. There is hardly anything redeeming about either movie, but I'd still watch them.

My retina are still burned after all these years from the blinding shittiness that was that movie

[Signa]

Oh c'mon, it wasn't that bad. It had some state-of-the-art special effects, and the reptile world was dark and zany. I think the movie's only real flaw was taking itself just a little too seriously despite being fucking retarded. If it didn't, it would have been a nice crazy film in the vein of Army of Darkness.
