TRON 2 Is Crewing Up!

TRON 2 FTW by Gungan Slayer	Oct 1st, 2008 10:50:50 PM
Just don't call it TR2N. FUCKING RETARDED. oh, and Disney, make sure it doesn't suck.
and fucking first too by Gungan Slayer	Oct 1st, 2008 10:51:12 PM
yes, i am pretentious.
SECOND by ALDEN	Oct 1st, 2008 10:55:55 PM
want to see the dude in this
there are sequels that should be approached with reverence... by soup74	Oct 1st, 2008 11:00:06 PM
Tron is not one of them. Tron is a wonderful concept and a great piece of visual candy. I think that TR2N would do well to be like Speed Racer.. pure 'never-seen- before' eye candy. the original is not on a pedestal like star wars, or raiders of the lost ark; so i hope they have fun with this. I'll be there.
wait, who's got the goods? by God's Brother	Oct 1st, 2008 11:02:31 PM

End of line.
Hell Yes by fractureJonze	Oct 1st, 2008 11:12:28 PM
I liked the promo they did for comic con. Hope this is good.
I thought... by cornponious	Oct 1st, 2008 11:12:46 PM
harry was going to have a conversation with the director of the original TRON. Did that never happen?
Faithfully submitted (for your opinion.) by MapMan	Oct 1st, 2008 11:13:23 PM
So Mr. Beaks, does the Comic-Con trailer have anything to do with TR2N? Will there be an evil Flynn? Fingers crossed!! BTW, good salutation.

After all the crap that's been floating around about this movie. by googamooga	Oct 1st, 2008 11:21:01 PM
I thought it had already been made.
Looking forward to this a lot by exie	Oct 1st, 2008 11:21:18 PM
I loved the original as a kid and I kinda love that Disney is doing this. It's nice to see them involved in something that isn't pure animation or Ice Princess. If this means Disney is going in more daring directions it's good news for all of us.
Can't wait. by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz	Oct 1st, 2008 11:35:27 PM
I have total faith that this will kick much ass and just as awesome as the first movie.
Cool by mr_l_74	Oct 1st, 2008 11:36:37 PM
Now about that black hole remake well I HOPE

I wish I knew what happened with the Steve Lisberger interview Harry said was going to happen on a weekend.
I'm new to this internets-computer thingy by shran	Oct 2nd, 2008 12:09:51 AM
When you say "FTW" are you trying to say "For The Record"? Because that would be "FTR". If I'm not getting it, I'm sure you will let me know. As for 2TR2N2 or whatever they decide to put on the poster, they should definitely go with the alluded to plot that the test footage showed. And get BB for it.

Where's Dark Crystal 2? by darthpigman	Oct 2nd, 2008 02:38:32 AM
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........
Bridges and Boxleitner NEED 2 be in this. by Redfive!	Oct 2nd, 2008 02:47:10 AM
I mean a Tron movie without Tron and Flynn would be meaningless.
wait, that was test footage? by newc0253	Oct 2nd, 2008 03:20:34 AM
they got Bridges to return for test footage?
Never seen Tron... by unit1421	Oct 2nd, 2008 03:34:35 AM
Never bothered to see it as a kid because it looked to hokey and pretentious(I was one of those "who was Mrs. Cain?" types who got beat up for blowing the bell curve and not the gym teacher in my little redneck mountain town). It being a Disney film didn't and still doesn't help. Why should I support a company that made billions raping the public domain and is now trying to legislate public domain out of existence to protect Mickey Mouse?
TRON SUCKS!!! by sleeptones	Oct 2nd, 2008 03:46:24 AM
fuckin'a
"Zack Snyder's got the goods." by kwisatzhaderach	Oct 2nd, 2008 03:58:41 AM
Well I hope so, we'll find out in March. Based on 300 I'd say he didn't have the goods. We'll see.
Unit1421... by TheRealMoriarty	Oct 2nd, 2008 03:58:42 AM
... okay, Che, siddown. Yeah, yeah, the evil Empire of the Rat. Duly noted. TRON's an okay SF riff on WIZARD OF OZ that worked as a theatrical experience because it was so visually arresting, particularly on a 70MM screen like the one near my house in Chattanooga. It's a reeeeeeeeally languid movie, all things considered, and I watched it put an entire crowd into a state of deeeeeeeep hypnosis at 3:00 in the morning at BNAT one year. But it's groovy, and if the right people do this film the right way, it could be a lot of fun.
Alan Parker is full of shit.... by Cagliostro	Oct 2nd, 2008 04:23:34 AM
but he owns a Flynn's T-Shirt? Ugh, 2012 can't get here soon enough.
Bridges is in by jpdisco	Oct 2nd, 2008 04:37:49 AM
According to an interview he did for the Guardian last week....
Here's the link to Bridges interview where he says he's signed u by jpdisco	Oct 2nd, 2008 04:40:10 AM

Never saw it either by I Dunno	Oct 2nd, 2008 05:59:26 AM
I don't know what I was doing in 1982. I've seen thousands of movies, I'm a huge movie geek and I've never seen this and I only saw ET on video once like 10 years ago. But if the Dude's in it, I'll check out the sequel.
shran, it's For The Win by MurderMostFowl	Oct 2nd, 2008 06:32:50 AM
you know, like in sports... " and the kick is good! It's Johnson for the win!"
soup74, on the contrary by MurderMostFowl	Oct 2nd, 2008 06:36:06 AM
I think Tron needs to be approached with more reverence, simply because the other two series you mention didn't and you are getting into hardcore geek territory now... if Tron 2 isn't faithful, and a step UP in story quality, it will utterly bomb and be rejected by both the geek audience and hte mainstream. However, if they hit a home run the geek audience will carry the movie themselves and drag mainstream audiences to see it.
Bridges on Tron 2 by I_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looki ng_for	Oct 2nd, 2008 06:42:15 AM
"Doing the new Tron movie is something that is just too good to pass up." "Is that why you signed up for the new Tron movie? Yeah, that's another unique, wild experience that was too good to turn down. Engaging in that world again feels just like it did all that time ago. Basically, I'm still a child, I love being childlike, and here was another chance to play with these crazy toys. And the cutting-edge technology makes it exciting. Doing the teaser trailer for Comic-Con, I had my first experience of motion capture. And that's turning the industry on its head. It's amazing being part of that. There's such a retro love for Tron. How do you bring it up to date? Well, when we made Tron there was no internet, no cellphones. But now we have motion capture, so I think we'll get a far more successful version of the story, which is someone literally getting sucked into a video game. When we did King Kong in the 70s, one minute you'd have a shot of Rick Baker in this big suit and then you'd cut to this 80ft stiff model, and they looked nothing alike. Compare to that Peter Jackson's King Kong the technology is there and they did a wonderful job. I thought they created a beautiful Kong. So I hope that'll be the same for Tron." (From the Guardian article as mentioned by jpdisco)

For The Wecord by tonagan	Oct 2nd, 2008 07:16:44 AM
I like that. Say it in an Elmer Fudd or Barbara Walters voice for maximum amusement.
Bridges and Boxleitner are essential? Whatever. DAVID WARNER! by Shut the Fuck up Donny	Oct 2nd, 2008 07:40:12 AM
That man is God to me. He totally needs to be working more.
Ad Rock is writing this? by jrbarker	Oct 2nd, 2008 07:41:07 AM
Suckas they be sayin' they can take out Adam Horowitz.
The RARE Film That Does Seem to Warrant a Remake by cowboyone	Oct 2nd, 2008 07:52:23 AM
The CG was so well done and so INTRINSIC and APPROPRIATE to the story that it'll be fun to see what they do with the new toys in the sandbox this time around. Hell, I think they should do it in 3D too. Why not take the volume up to eleven and just have a lot of fun with it.
Tron 0x00000010 by MattInTheHat	Oct 2nd, 2008 08:02:13 AM
Now that's nerdy on top of geeky.
They should name it "2on" by I_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looki ng_for	Oct 2nd, 2008 08:02:46 AM
Then all the morons who buy tickets to it can sound like Elmer Fudd.
In THIS world! by MattInTheHat	Oct 2nd, 2008 08:08:49 AM
That also accepts apostrophes that roam around and appear where not needed, internet speak lolz, txt messaging shortcuts, bad US spellings in countries that aren't the US (fucking color!), and any number of other laziness. It's just real life, after all. There was no golden age, people have always come up with shit like that.
For a split Orcus thought it said SCREWING not CREWING by Orcus	Oct 2nd, 2008 08:12:42 AM
Don't scare Orcus like that
Looking forward to TRON 2 and WATCHMEN. by JDanielP	Oct 2nd, 2008 08:33:34 AM
And I was hoping for a trailer.
Ditto on DAVID WARNER by Phimseto	Oct 2nd, 2008 08:49:13 AM
Not only do you need to bring back Warner, but make his character a good guy - or at least an anti-hero to root for. Think about how much fun that would be.
David Warner needs to be in this. by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Oct 2nd, 2008 08:55:30 AM
Make it a revenge flick. Warner is incredible. Anyone ever see among his other great movies Time After Time?
The Only Place for David Warner... by WIBoomer1	Oct 2nd, 2008 09:00:00 AM
...is the use of his voice for any MCP lines. Sark is dead, and would have been purged from the system when the MCP went down. Yes, there could be backups...but he'd be more like Dumont than anything else if portrayed like Flynn is...older. Maybe they'll do to Sark like it appears they did to Clu...?

Beaks endorses Watchmen!!! WooHoo! by dr sauch	Oct 2nd, 2008 10:55:55 AM
Beaks is clearly the most knowledgeable guy here (followed closely by Moriarty and Massawyrm), and if he thinks Snyder's got it, thats a huge endorsement for me. P.S. I don't want to disparage Quint, Capone, or Harry, I love their reviews just the same, but they represent the "normal guy", where Beaks and Mori feel like industry guys. Massawyrm is just a lunatic.
Got Squid? by Le Vicious Fishus	Oct 2nd, 2008 11:35:01 AM
No Squid, No Peace! Know Squid, Know Peace.
2RON still lights a fire by Diagnostic	Oct 2nd, 2008 12:34:14 PM
Much better name.
Thank You MurderMostFowl by shran	Oct 2nd, 2008 01:06:15 PM
But still, in the context of what was written,For The Record makes more sense than For The Win. I'm just tryin' ta' communicate.
And 2T2R2O2N2 II: The Sequel by shran	Oct 2nd, 2008 01:07:22 PM

Lets Petition for a Tron Guy cameo by ArcadianDS	Oct 2nd, 2008 02:49:21 PM
That would rule to see a fat dude in Tron.
WIBoomer1, you're missing the point by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Oct 2nd, 2008 03:38:44 PM
Yes, Sark is dead. But, like the Boxleitner and Bridges roles, he was both in the real world, and in the cyberworld. Remember he stole all of Flynn's games, and gained control of the company. Make him return in human form. Besides, he could always be Sark 2.0
Opening title song! by I_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looki ng_for	Oct 2nd, 2008 04:30:02 PM
Da Doo Tron Tron by the Rolling Stones!
Might be a good idea... by matineer	Oct 2nd, 2008 04:53:26 PM
Because Tron was all about the technology, and the tech has moved so much in 20+ years. Most reimaginings are all about prettier, younger faces and bigger FX. For this, the FX is organic to the concept. But, yes, be respectful to it and keep the distinctive look, as much as possible. The original actors could participate as live action or voices, too. I hope this comes out well.
shran you were right... by MurderMostFowl	Oct 2nd, 2008 08:28:11 PM
I didn't read Gungan Slayer's comments right... he really did need to say "for the record" or something like that FTW doesn't make any sense. ( Maybe he didn't know what it means! )
TRON 2: ELEC-TRON-IC BOOGALOO by Nosferatu Jones	Oct 2nd, 2008 09:56:17 PM
Now THAT'S what the title should be...
PLEASE don't screw this up by GeorgieBoy	Oct 2nd, 2008 11:24:29 PM
There are too many "far too late" sequels that have irked me (Episode I and Indy4 I'm looking at you.) The trailer was kick-@$$, so for the love of GOD... Please don't screw up TR2N!!!!!!
YESYESYES by Kentucky Colonel	Oct 3rd, 2008 09:11:47 AM
YES!
Hey! Look! It's Janet Jackson! by L.H.Puttgrass	Oct 3rd, 2008 10:18:13 AM
I think she's auditioning for a part in TR2N. Check it out. Mind the spaces. http://movies.msn.com/celebs/g allery.aspx/?gallery=18833&pho to=973572
TR2N takes place in 1997 by Hikaru Ichijo	Oct 3rd, 2008 05:32:45 PM
just before Internet bust. That would actually make it quite timely.
by pita1963	Oct 3rd, 2008 06:18:48 PM
So many games to choose from to get sucked in to - Doom , Halo , Mario Bros , Legend of Zelda ....
