fruitless negitiations? i really hate how overpaid big name actors are, and the swollen egos that ensue. at this point in nick cage's life, you'd think he could just make movies because he loves being an actor, but i guess not.

Because someone is successful at what they do, they should do it for free?

of course not, just be reasonable.

then again, its not like being a good actor is a vital or even important occupation. We pay actors and sports stars millions and millions of dollars to essentially "play" for a living, while teachers, police officers and firefighters go without. I really hate how backwards our society's priorities are. that's all, i'm off of the soapbox order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

Maybe this explains how Sark was able to play a Lightcycle game at Flynn's and then rez over to Sark's Carrier (in the beginning scene of Tron). This brings to question if the TRON universe has just metamorphsed into a virtual exaggeration of the real world. Or, maybe Flynn does somehow have the original laser inside his old arcade and that's what Sean found behind the TRON arcade game, and the digital manifestation of Flynn's serves as an I/O Tower? Am I the only one who thinks this might be important?

I tend to agree, Cam. I think that in TL, the arcade will serve as some sort of bridge between the real world and the digital world. Specifically, this is how I see it playing out (within my own overactive imagination, that is).

I think Kevin Flynn may have the Encom 511 mainframe in that room behind the TRON game. The way I see it, in the several years that passed between when Kevin took over as CEO and when he disappeared, he moved the mainframe to the arcade. Also, the digitizing technology (the laser) had improved in those same years that passed, so maybe there was some other more efficient method of digitization, or just a more compact laser (one that didn't require something the size of Lawrence Livermore Labs) that Kevin was able to fit into the hidden room there at the arcade. Since the mainframe was cut off from the outside world, when Kevin was digitized back into the digital world (into the mainframe), no one knew about the hidden room nor the whereabouts of Kevin Flynn. So the arcade gets boarded up, no one knows about the secret room, and the evolution of the digital world on the mainframe takes place over the next 20 years.

In that time, Kevin Flynn within the digital world recreates the arcade (which I think is some sort of I/O tower, a modem maybe?) in the digital realm. I'm thinking that even though the mainframe was cut off from the "Internet" per say, I think maybe there was a phone line attached to it which allowed Kevin to send the fax from the number within the arcade. When Sam finds the hidden room and enters, he discovers the mainframe and the "digitizing technology" his dad set up in there. He messes around with it, gets zapped into the mainframe just like his dad, and the movie takes off from there.

Of course, that may not be how it plays out at all. I'm just relaying the rambling ruminations of my poor little addled ADD brain. I'd love to hear what possibilities or ideas others have come up with.

Just remember that the negotiations may have concerned far more than $$$, including plot and character points as well producer credits and issues with locations, etc.

I'm not saying Cage hasn't become a prima-donna, just pointing out that there are other things that actors of reputation are able to request during production.

If this thread is not to your liking try doing the work yourself and go surf the news sites and blogs like the rest of us do. Then you would neither have to put up with us nor the way we actually like to interact with each others like human beings as opposed to just avatars.

Also, Daft Punk is going to have their likenesses, 8 songs, and 11 original mixes in DJ Hero. TRON Legacy DLC, anyone?

* Daft Punk "Around the World" vs. Young MC "Bust A Move"
* Daft Punk "Da Funk" vs. NASA "Strange Enough ft. Karen O, ODB and Fatlip"
* Daft Punk "Da Funk" vs. Queen "Another One Bites the Dust"
* Daft Punk "Robot Rock" vs. Hashim "Al-Naafiysh (The Soul)"
* Daft Punk "Robot Rock" vs. Queen "We Will Rock You"
* Daft Punk "Short Circuit" vs. Boogie Down Productions "Jack Of Spades"
* Daft Punk "Technologic" vs. Gary Numan "Cars"
* Daft Punk "Television Rules The Nation" vs. No Doubt "Hella Good"

VS means that the song has the option to be combined with the other said song. I figured it was kinda relative since they're doing the soundtrack for Legacy.
