I wonder if maybe they could do Tron movie ala Sky Captain. The actors would be real, but damn near everything else would be pure CGI.

Sky Captain was good!  
I liked it anyway, but then when I was a kid I liked watching my dad's movie serial collection on 8mm too. It's just something ya gotta be into, I guess.

The menus were pretty good, and the CGI TRON animated guy who starts out the sequence by throwing his disc around in the ring arena is pertty cool too. BUT I'd hate to see a TRON film made with CGI programs like the animated TRON guy in the DVD's pre-menu animated sequence. Again, that was kind of cool, but ONLY as an animated menu opening sequence - not as film material.

The original TRON film was done much like that. Pretty much all the sequences in the digital world were all just actors on a big, blank, black set, with a all the "digital scenery" added later in post production. The only real physical sets in the digial world were the tank and recognizer cockpits.
The things in TRON weren't really CGI, only simulated CGI, but still, none of it was there during filming. 
I would imagine any new TRON film would employ much the same technique, only with real computer imagery for background next time around... and probably a far greater complexity in shot arrangement, etc. You may or may not have noticed that every scene in the digital world consisted of only stationary shots (no camera movement) wherever live actors were incorporated in the scenes. They couldn't do any camera movement in the scenes (or it was deemed too expensive back then) via motion control or similar technologies.

i wasn't trying to suggest I'd want this to be done for the movie, as I would also hate CGI programs like the animated TRON guy in the DVD menu. I'd want the "people/programs" to be real actors, not CGI. I was just trying to say that the DVD menus did the movie at least some justice. They could've made it look all Pokemon cartoony and stuff to cater to 4-year olds, but they didn't. I was thankful for all that CGI work they did for the menus; and taken alongside Tron 2.0 and the comics, it tells me Disney has some respect for the look & feel of the original movie.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that all the shots were static because of the type of camera they were able to lease for the film had a very narrow focus range. A few inches father or a few inches closer would make the scene blurry. Shooting movement with these kinds of cameras would have been tricky. For example, the light-cycle staging area scene was filmed seperately for each actor because they couldn't get all 3 actors in focus at the same time. (Thank you directors commentary!)
All that being said... I'd assume a sequel wouldn't have NEAR the production costs of the original movie. I really don't see why Disney doesn't jump on this project for the easy money.
As for the production company, I still vote for Square-Enix. Live action with digital backgrounds, or fully animated, I'd go see it. Story aside, they did good work on FF:TSW. That... and they already got some licence with TRON through producing Kindom Hearts II! It would be the logical thing to do...abortion pills online abortion questions cytotec abortion

Well, lets hope that Steve Jobs and the other PIXAR powers that be have enough clout to shatter Disney's politics.
I hope that PIXAR rubs off on Disney, and not the other way around.
Time will tell.

Ditto. I had plans to work for Pixar one day and I would really hate it if Pixar was de-Pixar-ified. Then I'd have to re-think things..... ^^;

Well, if it is computer animation you want to get in to - follow your dreams and get PIXAR's attention by building up a good portfolio of your work. If things don't work out there, or you decide that PIXAR is not the place for you, then there are still many possibilities out there where you can work in this kind of field. PIXAR is not the only place doing it - they're just one of the best known because of the high-profile work they've done. Not every company is a mega-bucks productions outfit. There are a lot of wonderful and creative things going about out there - become part of it, either with PIXAR, or a lesser known company. Just follow what you love.
