Wow, they're building most of the set? That's somewhat ironic, considering that the original TRON was shot almost entirely on a blackscreen, with the camera tripod nailed, superglued, and welded to the floor.

I remember lisberger saying something on the commentary where they rammed a car into the tripod and the tripod didn't move at all, lol.

And yet more news . . .

Tron sequel lands lead
Someone named Garrett Hedlund has been cast as the programmer that gets pulled into the electronic world by Flynn, to help him.

But WTF is this nonsense about the title changing AGAIN? Now it's supposed to be just TRON. FFS! From TRON, to TR2N, to TRZ, to TRON 2.0, and now back to TRON again. Make up your bloody minds, people!

Anyway, why the hell would you name the sequel exactly the same as the original? Confusing, or what?

This constant name changing is ludicrous.

Considering the bad grammar in the article:

Olivia Wilde and Beau Garrett have also been cast in the project, which was known as "Tron 2" and "Tr2n" but it now going with the simple "Tron."
I'm taking this news with a big grain of salt.

Hedlund has a pretty big fanbase with girls, so may or may not be Disney trying to pull a "let's-put-a-beefcake-guy-in-the-picture-so-all-of-our-Hanna-Montana-fans-will-go-see-it" move.on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill onlineabortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

It looks like shooting will be taking place at Canadian Motion Picture Park Studio

http://www.cmppstudios.com/
This is the same studios that until recently housed Battlestar Galactica and will be having Supernatural, The Watchmen in 2009 and from what I hear the Caprica series should it still go ahead.
I'm going to use my contacts here to do try and do what the Browncoats did when they made Serenity, get some of us on set as extras so any info I find I'll post here for anyone. (how cool would that be????)

And to think, I got distracted and let my blog lapse when the news stopped flowing. I guess I'd better get it up to speed.

Based on the casting choices for the new actors in the sequel, I can very much see Disney trying to target the younger generation. In particular, the teen and young twenty-somethings whose hearts will all be aflutter due to the "eye candy" these actors bring to the film.

I mean, you wouldn't believe how many comments I've seen that go something like "I don't care what the film is like, as long as Olivia Wilde is in it". A lot of people will go see a movie, solely based on who's appearing in it. Pretty sad.

I can sort of see if people will go see a film solely because a distinguished actor will be in it. At least they're seeing it because of the performance that actor will bring to his or her role in the film. I don't mind when I hear people say they'll go see the sequel just because Jeff Bridges is in it. Jeff is a phenomenal actor.

But when people go see a movie just because of how certain actors look?

I do not like the idea of that actor being the main character one bit. He looks like one of those guys you'd expect to see in a bad indie band. Basically, he doesn't give off that "HOLY CRAP THAT GUY IS FRIGGIN' AWESOME AT SPACE PARANOIDS" feeling that made Jeff Bridges so awesome in the original TRON.

And TronFAQ, I think everyone here knows that Disney pretty much fails at marketing:

Oh dear god...

This is starting to become VERY dissapointing. Michael Stahl-David would probably have been better. Seeing this kid in the movie makes it look as if.... Gah! I just...

I was fine with the casting before this report. First the name changing bull**** and now this. It's becoming kinda what us Ghostbusters fans feared that Ghostbusters III would become, ya know?

What I mean is that TRON 2 or whatever you wanna call it is not going to be the same TRON we all know and love. It looks like it's going to become "TRON 90210"!

Wait, he confirmed that they're coming in today, or he told you today that they will be coming in?

Dont know this dude... So Ill wait and see. But I do get this wierd TRON 90210 feeling like O'Niell said.

But I am a bit curious about his part, who will he play?
Could it be Jethro? That would give him an opertunity to show off his fancy hairdue

Oh, for the sake of the Users no more Jet....

Had enough of him in TRON 2.0, lol. It wasn't really the actual character that bothered me, in fact I think he was the coolest original videogame character in quite some time. The voice, however, can go explodd.

Hopefully, his character be some kind of computer programmer that's actually interested in computer programming, like Jet. That'll make him a bit more likable.

1) I am very happy to read that Bruce Boxleitner is going to be in the sequel. I do think Steve Liserberger is heavly involved in production of the film.

2) I think some people are over-reacting a bit to the 20-somethings that are being cast.

Olivia would make a nice Mercury-like character IMO. Garrett Hedlund looks a *little bit* like a young Flynn IMO. Maybe he's playing Flynn's son? (just speculating.)

3) Can we all finally admit that the film HAS been "greenlighted" to start filming.

Or are the nay-sayers here still going claim that TR2N/Tron 2.0 is "not really greenlighted" or some such?

I'm moderately optimistic that this film will be pretty good, maybe not 100% what purist fans want, but I think it can potentially be still pretty darn good and kick ass.

I think I could be more dissapointed by the fans than the movie.

If I come out of the theatres mildly satisfied with a good "fun" movie, only to come to this site to see a bunch of people complaining about mindless action scenes, plotholes, casting and such, I will loose it. And then leave the site.


If there's anything I'm sick and tired of now, it's pissed off fans. Not bad adaptations.

Transformers, AVPR, TDK, I am Ledgend, Wanted.

All of those had this. I'm SICK of the bitching.

There will always be people complaining. Personally I'm very happy with the cast as it is (except maybe John Hurt is a bit out of place). Garrett seems like a perfect candidate for Tron.

I have no issue with the casting, but I do have issue with them changing the title so constantly.

How are we supposed to know what it's named and if it's going to let people know that it's connected to Tron? :P (Of course, we know but that's because we're fans, but for general audience, yeeeeeeah no)

I don't know, the new name just sounds kinda fishy. A lot of people remember TRON, but it's usually in a "oh yeah I sorta remember that game from the arcades" kind of way.

Perhaps this website misinterpreted a statement by Disney saying that they would do a TRON re-release?

I dunno. It just doesn't seem logical to name a sequel as the original film...order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

The worst thing that can happen now is that they suddenly anounce "new TRON" to be a remake.

Unless you have some kind of proof that the film was greenlit back when the original debate came up, the "naysayers" continue to be correct. Is the movie moving forward now? It appears to be. That's how things go in the world. They progress with time.

It's a friendly forum. Try not to take pointless potshots at people long after the debate has passed. You'll have a better time of it if you remain civil.
