Haha, no but seriously . . . if I ever want to feel miserable, I know who to talk to now. Thanks for cheering up the thread.

Of course nothing is 100% confirmed, but I don't think automatically forecasting gloom and doom is the right attitude to take. Cautiously optimistic, folks. Cautiously optimistic. Be prepared to be let down, but always hoping for the best. Don't follow Red5's example.

I agree with you on that one. I am not for doom and gloom I am just basing my thoughts on how Hollywood is going at the moment. With their "throw CGI at it until it works" attitude. I can easily see them completely CGIing users and program actors. This will allow them to make programs look completely complex and flashy but I think they will lose something big in doing that. The way Tron was shot worked great. The actors looked a part of the world and didnt stand out as much. Unlike modern movies where CGI characters stand out like sore thumbs (just look at the Pirates movies where CGI stunt men just look stupid).

Holy cow! Really?! YES, I knew this day would come!

No new material can ever take away from the source. Barring very rare instances like the original Star Wars trilogy, the source material is unaltered by new material in any tangible or meaningful way.

More than likely, we've all seen in movies how they just CGI everything until it has lost any real meaning and the studios are basically saying "Look at what we can do with computers!" Tron will suffer from this more than any other movie out to date seeing as alot of Tron takes place inside the digital world I can see directors and producers fighting over there "VISION" of Tron. I would expect the following: 1) Programs look completely different more "cooler" (as the studio will say) and way more complex looking than they did in the original. Probably using the excuse that this is how programs look now. And I doubt we'll see any original Tron like programs.

I actually think they could do that, and pull it off well. How? Well, remember in Tron 2.0 where Jet had to enter that old mainframe? It would be something along those lines. The main character(s) would have to for some reason venture into an old system, where everything looks like it did back in 1982. Who knows, they could even run into the gang from the original there (and maybe end up bringing some of them into the more modern system). I personally think that would make for an interesting story...I mean, how would a antiquated security program (Tron) handle the modern viruses and such that computers have to deal with today?

The film could be just as much about the old-school programs (Tron, Yuri, et al) dealing with the shock of what the computerworld has become as much as it would be about beating the bad guy(s)

I hope Jar Jar Binks has a role in the new movie... "Meesa Gungan wanna smashathe bombad MCP!"order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

Maby im being silly with this thought, but yes we are all fans of the movie. and i could understand thoes skeptical of it.

I will admit i was late getting into tron, i was brought into it through the game.
I for one have really fallen to love the PC game because the story to it was so well done and pannd out and also how emenseful it feels to be in a digital world.

my guess is they did it right so well because well. they were all programmers and for one, they are computer enthusiasts so they know the ins and outs of it all.

while a new director and new cast might seem really bad, (yeah i know there have been some shockers) but there is always an upside to it.. it would be a shame to see a tron movie have mistakes, and ofcourse with everyone a fanatic about it, it would most likely be ripped to shreds about how it mightent stand upto the original.

Im going to attack this with an open mind, i would love to see a movie and would love to see Disney chasing it up.
i spose they might of made a good penny from the 20th anniversary's dvd launch? i know i scored my copy!

It mighent be the original director, but a new one cant be half bad. the original had a mind about what he wanted, now a new one might have a diffrent idea to expand it.
my way of looking at it is (old person will think inside the box, but new kid on the block will think outside the box)
so i dont see it as a bad thing. one would say keep it true to the film. but what about the game?
how it was set in over time and Alan has a kid, kid is in the computer world and the process (somewhat) repeats.
ofcourse with the game, it has unlimited potential in it and the movie world, it can only be limited to the audience (can they all comprehend the idea of the computer?)

I would possibly think otherwise about DIsney (im sure TronFAQ will dig into me for this)
But since the movie, many took it with a grain of salt not thinking too much. ofcourse it set a benchmark for CG and it worked from there.
They later planned a movie, but decided a game. while the game has an odd bug or two (thousand) its still the tron heritage around.. now there are talks of a movie to try and streamline it?

while the cowardness off Buena Vista killed the game almost entirely, Disney has held onto the name. it could be a forgotten memory, but they are persistant to revive it every so often.. well, havent they?

If thoes want it to be original, then maby send off an email about it, i did asking for the source code to the game (call me optimistic) but after little movement, i offered financial compensation to get my hands on it and talks have been happening for sometime, little i will add, but all i wanted was a nudge and a snowball effect has occured.

try it yourself, maby not to critisize it just yet, but put your 2 bobs in for what you want to see in it.. i mean.. what better idea then to hear from the Tron-sector?

I've always felt it a mistake to look for a literal upgrade with the characters and universe of Tron. The entire universe as perceived by Flynn is an analogy.

I had a couple of problems with the Tron 2.0 storyline to be honest. I didn't like the introduction of the fact that Tron was modified into some rampaging monster of a program and then shelved. I was disappointed that the only original character we saw was Alan. And the closest we came to interacting with Tron was his source code

Of course, by the time this is all said and done we'll probably see this done for TV, starring some child actor from the Cosby Show and put on the Disney Channel right after Kim Possible.
