1st! by FleshMachine	Mar 2nd, 2009 11:12:16 AM
yay tron 2!
Jeff Bridges and Light Cycles. by Knuckleduster	Mar 2nd, 2009 11:13:09 AM
I'm happy.
tron video game was really cool by FleshMachine	Mar 2nd, 2009 11:13:14 AM
i wonder if theyll do another on a new platform? 3d hyperbikes!
lightbikes by FleshMachine	Mar 2nd, 2009 11:13:35 AM
yeah..they were lightbikes.
ah whatever.. by FleshMachine	Mar 2nd, 2009 11:14:14 AM
tron was cool.
A word from General Zod....... by IG76	Mar 2nd, 2009 11:16:32 AM
"Who is this SUPERMAN? I defy you!"
YAY!!! by LaserPants	Mar 2nd, 2009 11:17:56 AM
This all sounds great. And with the new efx? Sweet jeebus! Really looking forward to this.
Tr2n by Dancingforever	Mar 2nd, 2009 11:21:56 AM
Out of any movie coming out in the near future, I would argue TR2N has the potential to be a huge hit. Bridges will own this role, the CGI will be amazing, and it sounds fun. I shall predict right now this could go over 100 million and be the kind of movie that gets a few Oscar nods for production, sfx, and Bridges possibly for best supporting actor.
WILL IT BE NEON? by Bishop6	Mar 2nd, 2009 11:26:37 AM
NEON IS SO 2000's!
Hell yeah! by HorrorFan81	Mar 2nd, 2009 11:39:53 AM
Anticipating this one!
Light Cycles by Darth Busey	Mar 2nd, 2009 11:48:40 AM
really pull the room together, man.
TRtwoN? by SlickyVonBoner	Mar 2nd, 2009 11:50:33 AM
Don't care for that "name." Tron 2! There, that doesn't look so bad.

Vancouver....where all the cheap shit is shot. by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Mar 2nd, 2009 12:03:12 PM
Why does anyone give a fuck about this project again? Oh yeah......they don't.
Tron by Himbo	Mar 2nd, 2009 12:03:51 PM
So is the actual Tron program created by AlanONE still running around? Glad Boxleitner is involved with this.
Christian Bale to play Sean Flynn? by westie	Mar 2nd, 2009 12:13:41 PM
He needs to stop fuckin' around with the light cycles when I'm in the middle of a fuckin' scene!!! Are the light cycles perfect!!! Good!!! Well, they're fuckin' useless now, aren't they?!!

Fat Tron Guy is HUNG by Lenny8	Mar 2nd, 2009 12:33:22 PM
Is that a pez dispenser in his pants, or is he happy to see Merrick?
a little worried by tuddlefo	Mar 2nd, 2009 12:34:23 PM
has there ever been a sequel shot 20 years after the original that was really good? I'm not saying there hasn't been, but I need reassurance.
Deadly Discs! by One-Eye Tigh	Mar 2nd, 2009 12:39:52 PM
So many hours spent playing Tron Deadly Discs on the Intellivision! Man, I hate those goddamn orange guys.

TRON: SECOND by Chanoc	Mar 2nd, 2009 12:57:03 PM
Good Name. Seriously I an´t wait for this movie and would also love a TRON COMPLETE blu ray.
Erm, where's Tron in all this? by dr_buggerlugs	Mar 2nd, 2009 01:01:38 PM
Y'know, title character and all that? Unless he's gonna be all Aslan and shit and not pop up until act 3 and then do some internet wreckage with a super-light-emitting-ninja frisbee?
So there'll be CGI on Bridges' face? by MrMysteryGuest	Mar 2nd, 2009 01:06:13 PM
Because he'll have to look like he did 25 years ago to be CLU.
This movie will equal by IndyCollector	Mar 2nd, 2009 01:15:14 PM
Mike Tyson strapping on Jessica Biel's and Elisha Cuthbert's pussies and giving you a rapid fire whomp to your mother FUCKIN' face.
HELL YEAH!!! by THE TRUE PINBACK	Mar 2nd, 2009 01:17:06 PM
This is gonna kick electronic ASS!!! I cannot wait to see this!
That description... by jsm1978	Mar 2nd, 2009 01:19:37 PM
sounds pretty interesting. I'm definitely looking forward to this one. My cousin and I will have to go see it and leave the wives at home, since they both hate the original.
THE WRATH OF TRON!!! by YotzVonFrelnik	Mar 2nd, 2009 01:29:06 PM
Hell yeah!
Geekasm, Tron was a childhood fave... by KillaKane	Mar 2nd, 2009 01:30:26 PM
Teaser looks freakin cool, hope the Walt/Carlos electronic score is held over for the movie.
Deady Discs! by cyberskunk	Mar 2nd, 2009 01:36:09 PM
I much enjoyed that game. Unlike Maze-a-tron. I liked both the original TRON game and the arcade game Discs of TRON, but I might like Discs of TRON a little more.
Only made it through a few minutes of Tron by JuanSanchez	Mar 2nd, 2009 01:56:14 PM
That was enough for me.
MUST... SEE... MOVIE!!! by JT Kirk	Mar 2nd, 2009 01:59:51 PM
What do I have to do to see this movie sooner, put myself in a medically-induced coma until its release date??? Although the ideas posted are a little scattershot, the drive behind them feels like it'll make a good Tron story. Hopefully they get Lisberger to keep them on track, since Tron is a tad allegorical to the way we humans deal with religion and spirituality (programs = people, users = god) which made for a fascinating undercurrent without being rammed down our throats.
The Tron 2 videogame sounds kinda like this by lockesbrokenleg	Mar 2nd, 2009 02:06:51 PM
That game was awesome.
Will this movie devirginate my eyeballs by jackofhearts29	Mar 2nd, 2009 02:13:13 PM
...before AVATAR has a chance to? Or will it be forced to take sloppy seconds?
Good Pitch... by Henry Fool	Mar 2nd, 2009 02:15:08 PM
I gotta admit, I like the story idea. I love the idea of Flynn disappearing in the prologue and his son growing up to be the new hero. Hopefully the film will be "into" it's own mythology and make Flynn feel like mythic figure while his kid is searching for him. It's just awesome that Jeff and Bruce are reprising their roles. And I dig the idea of having their Tron Avatars staying young. I think the aging CG technology is still kind of bland. But the strange lighting style of the Tron world should add another buffer that makes the effect look real. I must admit, I'm really looking forward to this one. I saw Tron in the theaters twice when I was a kid. The second time was in a double feature with Star Wars at the Westlake Village Twin (which is now a Laemle theater). That was the first time I ever saw Star Wars, too :-). Fuzzy memories...
Tron Guy, lova ya buddy, but seriously lay off the butter by YackBacker	Mar 2nd, 2009 02:21:25 PM
Do some aerobics, walk around a local track and get yourself back to somewhat healthy. We (the computers) need you.
Whoa! Must-see-movie of 2011! by Motoko Kusanagi	Mar 2nd, 2009 02:31:19 PM
I'm pumped! I just love the old TRON movie!
I just want Jeff Bridges to have fun with it. by V'Shael	Mar 2nd, 2009 02:34:14 PM
The man can do no wrong, as far as I'm concerned. He's The Dude. And The Dude abides.
Sark? by lockesbrokenleg	Mar 2nd, 2009 02:41:41 PM
Bring back Sark as a computer virus email.
holy shit sounds awesome by Gungan Slayer	Mar 2nd, 2009 02:42:17 PM
damn, I can't wait for this
why haven't they released that teaser footage... by Cap'n Jack	Mar 2nd, 2009 02:46:13 PM
...in glorious Quicktime?? Fer Christ's sake.
TRON: THE LEGEND OF TRON. by Damien Chowder	Mar 2nd, 2009 02:51:25 PM

Jeff Bridges is one of our best actors by IndustryKiller!	Mar 2nd, 2009 02:51:45 PM
And god bless him for taking this role, I cannot wait to see his work here. To me it all but ensures a great time at the theater and a worthy follow up. With Bridges so involved its hard to be cynical about the project. Cannot wait.
For those who haven't seen the original by yodaismyhomie	Mar 2nd, 2009 02:53:30 PM
When you watch the movie, keep in mind when it was made. The CGI in that film looks awful, but it was revolutionary at the time! If you can get past that, it's a fun movie. If you can't, then don't bother
I'm with Cap by yodaismyhomie	Mar 2nd, 2009 02:53:47 PM

I'm with Cap'n Jack by yodaismyhomie	Mar 2nd, 2009 02:54:41 PM
They need to release that...it's been floating around forever now and they HAVE to know that the fans want to see a good quality version of it

2011??? Too far awai!!!1!! by dr sauch	Mar 2nd, 2009 03:06:04 PM
Thats like 50 billion years away!
It will need a Shatner cameo... by jimmy rabbitte	Mar 2nd, 2009 03:17:14 PM
"TROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNN! !" The embedded Comicon footage looks good... if not very, very blurry. It should be a fun movie. Looking forward to its' release. Agreed that 2011 is too far off. Here's hoping they finish it early and move up the release date... yeah, right.
WOW by Superzerotwo	Mar 2nd, 2009 03:18:35 PM
I think it's awesome that by the time this comes out my little girl will be as old as I was when I saw the original! 6! This sounds great like Heart of Darkness meets...TRON! Yes!
never saw it by Mr_X	Mar 2nd, 2009 03:28:45 PM
or at least i don't remember seeing it. is it worth my time to grab a copy and watch?
if you aren't over 30, I don't want to hear... by Cap'n Jack	Mar 2nd, 2009 03:47:58 PM
...your opinion of Tron. This is a movie that you had to grow up with to appreciate properly. and if they want to start drumming up some nerd excitement, they should release that teaser footage in a high quality version...
Yes...Tron Guy Should Be In This Movie!!! by Media Messiah	Mar 2nd, 2009 04:13:29 PM
That would be fun to see!!!
Sounds awesome, but no Flynn? by GeorgieBoy	Mar 2nd, 2009 06:41:36 PM
Just Clu? Mmmkay...
Nevermind, just downlaoded ait and watched it by Mr_X	Mar 2nd, 2009 06:55:32 PM
fun but hokey and i'm pretty sure i saw it before. those tanks sure look familiar.
I'm More Excited About This Than Avatar by kevinwillis.net	Mar 2nd, 2009 07:49:59 PM
Or any other movie in the pipeline. Loved TRON. Sounds like they are doing this one exactly right, if the description above is correct. I will try not to get my expectation too high, but I loved the original TRON for the world it created, and if this one manages to honor the original, I'm gonna like, pretty much no matter what else they do. And it sounds like they plan on honoring the original. Cool beans.
Why not use the internet in this movie by Cotton McKnight	Mar 2nd, 2009 07:56:14 PM
Going by those spoilers it seems as though this thing takes place within an old arcade machine? Really? Or am I reading this wrong?
If this is like The Forbidden Kingdom, by Amy Chasing	Mar 2nd, 2009 08:21:27 PM
ie. another kid-saves-the-world-he-has-no- business-being-in film, will they finally please leave Tron alone. That game Tron 2.0 was not so good. No more of that please.
In the Tron videogame by lockesbrokenleg	Mar 2nd, 2009 08:36:12 PM
you read emails from Alan and Cindy Morgan's character.
Can we PLEASE get that test clip/trailer in 1080p? by The Outlander	Mar 2nd, 2009 08:40:41 PM
It kills me that I've only see it in postage-stamp-o-vision.
CLU doesn't make sense by spohlso	Mar 2nd, 2009 10:45:41 PM
I just watched the original with my 5 year old this weekend (he loves the lightcycle scenes) and CLU gets 'killed' in the beginning. The MCP is torturing him for information and erases him.
Big fucking deal, I just got laid off by Kentucky Colonel	Mar 2nd, 2009 11:09:19 PM
Fuck George Bush, Fuck Wall Street, Fuck the motherfucking banks, Fuck the people who live beyond thier means, fuck EVERYTHING except bourbon and Valium. But this movie could raise my spirits. God damned bullshit! Fuck the ecomony, which is FAKE anyway. Mr. Obama...you'd better make good on all that goodwill you spouted last Tuesday. Fuck everything except Evan Williams and Diazepam!
But your chicken is selling so well Kentucky Colonel by DoctorZoidberg	Mar 2nd, 2009 11:12:24 PM

Good, can we stop the BULLSHIT with TR2N now??? by Lamerz	Mar 2nd, 2009 11:18:04 PM
I hate "titles" with the number somehow worked into the name. It is FUCKING DISTRACTING! Not to mention fucking stupid.
People who write TR2N eat cock... by Lamerz	Mar 2nd, 2009 11:21:42 PM
Lamer than Se7en. Sorry, the fucking word is spelled SEVEN. Notice the difference between the V and the 7. Fuckin A, the 2 isn't even close to a O. It's like the fucking tools who abbreviate Microsoft as M$ instead of MS. Oooooh. HOW FUCKING CLEVER! Morons.
Tron 2.0 and ISO by BetaSword	Mar 2nd, 2009 11:27:55 PM
Still having the Game on my shelf. Clu is hunting ISO's - TRON: Clu does ISOHunt ? Is he going to kill Trackers? What about the Peers? Well, as long as he doesn't kill ISO's like the C'n'C 1, which is free since their 12th B-Day(same goes for C'n'C:RA).
Zoidberg... by Kentucky Colonel	Mar 2nd, 2009 11:48:13 PM
I fucking wish! John Y. Brown jr. bought off all of Harlan Sander's interest in the company years ago. Besides, I'm more of a "Popeye's" gut myself. Their beans & rice kick ass! KFC hasn't been the same since the mane change (from "Kentucky Fried Chicken" to "KFC"...because they didn't want to associate themselves with "fried" food. Negro, please!). And then when Pepsi bough them, and became YUM....don't even get me started!
TRON 2 - NEON ON ICE! by Orionsangels	Mar 3rd, 2009 12:21:31 AM

I Demand That The Entire Original Cast Of Tron Be Brought Back.. by Media Messiah	Mar 3rd, 2009 01:33:47 AM
...for the sequel. They are all alive, attractive...and available for hire, including Cindy Morgan and David Warner. The fans would love it, and I as a fan of the original, would greatly appreciate it. Note To The Powers That Be At Disney: Make It Happen...and Pull-Out All The Stops On This One!!!
Kentucky Colonel: I'll Say A Prayer That You Get... by Media Messiah	Mar 3rd, 2009 01:40:21 AM
...an even better job...and a good life--but do good things with it, and your life, if that prayer is answered. Oh, one more thing, if you could, pray the same for me, a good career, and a good life. The say God is wherever two people or more, are in prayer together. Well, I'll be praying for you, and hopefully, you for me, and let's both pray for all the good people out there in need, be blessed the same way!!! Keep your head-up, don't give-up...and smile!!!
I like the TR2N lettering.... by Uridium	Mar 3rd, 2009 03:35:58 AM
I am really looking forward to this, and I agree with Cap' when he posted that under 30 years old have no right to bash the original film. It was groundbreaking at the time.

Kentucky Colonel you have been replaced by Mr_X	Mar 3rd, 2009 04:48:35 AM
any true chicken conisseur knows that nando's with it peri peri chicken is the new hotness.
Thnaks y'all by Kentucky Colonel	Mar 3rd, 2009 06:44:41 AM
Much obliged, and prayers said. Haven't heard of nando's, but I'll look for it. Is it on the East coast? Fortunatly my wife has one of those federal civil service jobs with the Census, and I think she'd get a raise if she shit on her bosses desk...they are kind of perverted those census folks. I already have one job offer, a dream job in fact, managing a theater once again. The only problem is that my wife's GREAT job will not transfer her to Indy, and then there's the small problem of selling our home for equal to or (pardon me while I stiffle a guffaw) more than we paid for it. This would get me back to within 90 miles of my beloved Louisville, but for now it just dosen't seem in the cards. Speaking of Cards....at least I get to stay home and watch March Madness. The UofL Cardinals are kicking ass, so watch them this year! Much love to y'all!
No Politics in the Tron Talkback! by kevinwillis.net	Mar 3rd, 2009 07:11:33 AM
It is sacrilege. All politicians are like smeared streaks of bird excrement on the asphalt of life, compared to Tron. Well, they are pretty much like that, anyway. But especially compared to Tron. Because that's Tron. He fights for the Users.
I agree about Wendy Carlos... by Cap'n Jack	Mar 3rd, 2009 08:33:25 AM
I'd love her to be involved in this project.
How in the hell could you be confused by the 1982 Tron movie? by Mr Incredible	Mar 3rd, 2009 08:58:35 AM
The plot is simple enough and easy enough for anyone to follow. Now, calling they movie "TR2N"? That would have been confusing. I'm glad they are dumping that crap.
Sounds like they have the perfect story! by REVENGE_of_FETT	Mar 3rd, 2009 09:22:31 AM
It sounds freaking awesome man. If this isn't true is certainly should be!
Yay, something NOT about Terminator by onemanarmy	Mar 3rd, 2009 09:40:43 AM
or Star Trek.
by maddox	Mar 3rd, 2009 10:23:16 AM
Sounds like crap! Give me a remastered version of TRON with updated graphics - not a sequel. Where's Lucas & Spielberg when you need them?
Where are the Beard and the Chin? by Kentucky Colonel	Mar 3rd, 2009 04:06:27 PM
Ass raping your childhood, that's where. Or laughing all the way to the bank...
Oh, and by the way... by Kentucky Colonel	Mar 3rd, 2009 04:12:09 PM
I'm watching the 20th aniversary DVD on my "upscaling" dvd player on my new 46" Samsung LCD. God Damnit does it look fantastic! If you can still find one, the Samsung LNA630 fucking RULES! The LNA650 has a better contrast ratio (50,000:1 as opposed to 40,000:1) but the screen is glossy like a mirror and will reflect any light source in front of it just like a mirror. The 630 has a matte finish which decreases the contrast ratio, but I can keep my lamp on the table with minimum reflection. When you compare stats, most LCDs have a contrast ratio of 7500:1 up to 10,000:1...all I'm saying is my blacks are darker than your blacks. I'm talking Wesley Snipes/Seal black levels, knowhutImean?

Still sucks that they weren't able to work in Cindy Morgan's as Lora. Why couldn't Lora be the mom of the kid? Thanks guys for bringing back It really sucks that they brought back Jeff & Bruce, but not Cindy Morgan.
The End of the Tron Legacy by sloughflux	Mar 22nd, 2009 05:53:24 PM
This film will do for Tron what Facebook and Myspace have done to the memory of that girl/boy you had a crush on in grade school. See my website for better ideas: www.tronsequel.com
The Legacy of TRON . . . by RumpleWho	Apr 4th, 2009 01:55:04 PM
is Pixar, NeXT, Jurassic Park, Netscape, Yahoo, Quake, Matrix, and the MacBook I'm typing this post on. TRON is not a fucking movie franchise. TRON is a glimpse outside of the cave.
Fuck the Tron haters by Orcus	Apr 6th, 2009 08:40:57 AM
This movie was way ahead of the curve in 1982 and it still holds it's own. I bet folks talk shit about about ray Harryhausen and his stop motion work. While CG has made stuff easier, it really hasn't made it better in alot of cases
Bring it the fuck on! by ZodNotGod	Jul 22nd, 2009 06:20:55 PM
I would suck a dick to see this movie right NOW and I'm not even gay. To all those morons who complain about "CG"; they really need to shut their gobs. It's a as ridiculous as complaining about a movie being in black & white.
