Sept 25th Press Junket Interview: Joseph Kosinski

Important quotes of note:

" My thought was that I wanted to embrace the original movie, with the story, the characters and the aesthetic, and not make a movie like The Matrix, but make a movie that felt like Tron, though an evolved version of it."

"If you’re not interested in design, then this movie would not be fun for you to work on because everything had to be created from scratch and all had to be in support of the story we were telling, which was an interesting design challenge. "

" Yeah, I think that there’s this father-son story. It’s really Kevin Flynn, his real son Sam and his digital son Clu. The dynamic in that relationship and how it figures into the story is what adds a level of drama to this movie that people aren’t expecting.
Hopefully, people aren’t discounting it as a video game movie. We’re trying to change that perception. There is real human drama here, and that’s what the heart of the story is. It’s a father-son story, and I’m excited for people to see that aspect of it. "

" It’s tough for me. I really want people to walk in seeing as little as possible because I want them to experience it in the movie. At the same time, I understand that you have to get the word out and you need people who would quickly dismiss the movie, just based on the title or the fact that it has something to do with video games or who think they don’t see those kind of movies, to understand that this is a different kind of film than they’re expecting "

" I think the excitement of movies is discovering stuff you weren’t expecting, and I hope to preserve that."

I am so happy that it seems like he really values and embraces the original Tron, and is pushing for not only excellent visual design, but also values telling a strong human story with heart, that shows that Tron Legacy is not a mere "video game movie" as some erroneously claim and dismiss the film as.

Why would it be a video game movie? Wouldn't it have to be based on a video game? From what I understand it's a movie about computers that's a sequel to another movie about computers. Just saying..

On a side note, I find it really sad that there are people who will refuse to see this movie just because it's Disney.

i think because tron is essentially dealing with computers AND games that's why there are those who may view it as a video game movie.
and i agree ppl are idiots for the whole "oh it's disney? pass."
disney makes some if not most of the biggest, best, and most successful films.

Some poorly informed mainstream enterntainment journalists and a sizable portion of young teens are under the simple-minded impression that "Tron" only amounts to "a movie about a videogame", and don't think it's about anything more than that.
Just like there are idiots that mistakingly believe Tron Legacy is "a Matrix rip off".

That's what Joe is refering to. where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online
