Haha, a touch of ADD and a slightly wackier quality ... Bonnie wanted The Dude to be Flynn before the Dude was the Dude. Or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

I'm very glad Mork was not Flynn.

I read a previous interview with her (from 2002) that revealed a bit more negativity from her, and it made me realize I'm glad Lisberger's vision is the one that got more realized.

I wonder if the advent of Tron Legacy and a surge in popularity with the franchise has made her recently warm up to Tron a bit more, or if time is helping to mend some past wounds, or if she is choosing to be a bit more positive for other reasons... but I do sense the interview above (from 2011) is more positive and less revealing than a past interview.

See Esotek's post on this page, posted in 2009 which shows an email interview Martin Fisher did with Bonnie in 2002: http://www.tron-sector.com/forums/default.aspx?a=top&id=369609

The below snippets from the 2002 interview and others within reinforce my opinion that her vision probably isn't the Tron I would've wanted to see, as I mention on that other page. Tron mainly drew me in with its visuals and serious/dark tone, so I'm glad it's Lisberger's vision that more came to light.

I appreciate her basic outline of the film, and I'm sure it wasn't easy for her to see her script undergo substantial changes from what she crafted, but I think I'm okay her not being involved in Tron anymore. Yes, it's been 30 years since Tron, so maybe she'd be willing and able to take the canon and improve upon it now in wonderful ways in a Tr3n, but I have my doubts; mainly because I fear she'd still have creative differences with the direction someone more visually oriented, like Lisberger and Kosinski, would take it and would, therefore, not be able to gel well with them or what I like to see out of Tron movies. I like that Steven drew the movie into a more serious tone than Bonnie says she would have liked.

Snippets from a Bonnie MacBird 2002 interview: Was there anything in the final script that you didn`t care for? "The line as one character is being drained of its life force "Wait! I need that!" makes me just cringe. It is so contrary to the wit and humor and subtlety of the original that I just shudder. I`m afraid its typical of many of the lines. Actually most of the dialogue makes me shudder." Did you enjoy watching Tron and when was the last time you saw it? "No, I was too mad about it. I`ve probably calmed down some since then. I actually went to the premiere with Alan Kay and famous science fiction writer Harlan Ellison who sympathized with the "evisceration of my script." Were there any parts written that didn't made it to the screen though you would have liked them to? "Any of my dialogue. Only my concept, character ideas and skeleton remain." What was the writing process like? What was the original story like compared to the final scripted version? "The writing process was difficult and eventually Steven and I had a falling out."

I'm with McBird on the dialogue. Unfortunately, the film did have dialogue straight out of 80's Saturday morning. Granted, I learned to write from that film and 80's toons...
