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.

Very well put...

I kindly disagree, but already know I'm a minority on this one based on past discussions. I think it's pretty clear based on rumors that it probably won't be a remake, so no need to worry yet. I'm okay with a remake, prequel or sequel. As long as it's a new movie and heading the quality direction it seems to be heading, I'm stoked.

Update: I hadn't seen the "leading role" article yet. I guess that does cast some interesting spins on what we had known, but the article is titled, 'Tron sequel lands a lead'... and Jeff Bridges is back as "Flynn", so I'm still somewhat confident it'll be a sequel as opposed to a re-telling of the story, etc. I wish they'd just call it TR2N though

Sure its a sequel. I know that ..realy But when the "randomizer of names" today landed on I grew kinda nervous. It has happend before that a sequel has been a retelling of the original.
But if is final, and they dont run randomizer.exe again, the title might end up at something like.....

" : THE MCP STRIKES BACK "

I think the new randomizer.exe name should result in "Tron" being completely dropped. The new name should be "Programs & Their Users"

kidding, of course...

You're in the minority, but not alone. There is nothing inherently wrong with a remake. While I look forward to a good sequel, I would take a good remake over a bad sequel any day.

Also, I have spent the last several years directly interacting with casual Tron fans on this very topic. The majority of them voiced support for a remake over a sequel. Many people would like to see the original story filtered through the percpetion of modern technology.

Well, those people are clearly insane. So we can safely ignore them.



But, in all honesty, I hope we can all get along here and have differing opinions: without the need to try and put each other down or take potshots at each other. I'm starting to see a little of that. I'm not referring to anyone specifically, just a trend I'm seeing in general.

Please, let's take lurkinghorror's advice and not go there.

But, but... you just took a potshot right before advising against it! Regardless, it seems odd that such peace-loving diehard fans can have such a dichotomy of opinions regarding remake vs. sequel. It saddens me. My circuitry dims when this topic becomes a political debate.

Honestly, a remake can be good in one way, but in the other way, it's kinda... hard to see how a remake is possible considering I view Tron as something special simply because of how far we've come with technology since the 80's.

And the fact that we don't have very many arcades anymore ;_;order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pillwhere to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

I was illustrating the type of comment not to make, by way of example. It was an intentionally absurd comment, not meant to be taken seriously. But I think you're just teasing me about it, aren't you. Hehe.

Though, my opinion on the remake vs. sequel debate hasn't changed. I always prefer sequels to remakes, unless the original film wasn't particularly well done and might benefit from a remake.

Of course, this opens up a whole other debate with a lot of people. Whether or not TRON was a particularly well done film. But I don't want to get into that. Especially since we wouldn't be here, if we didn't think the film was great.

I think any criticism of anything, be it each other or our favorite film, is fine as long as it doesn't become mean-spirited. Teasing and joking is fine.

I agree, the only arcade we have in our area is pretty small already, but very old (of course not the games). Three months ago they decided to hack it in half and turn one of the halves into a shopping store. The other is now a tiny arcade with little to offer. Maybe if I had went there often or at least once a year, they wouldn't have done that.

The place was run by a bunch of older grouchy (no offense to my older video warrior friends!) people and none of them even knew anything about arcade games/&video games. I couldn't believe it... At least I'm someone who likes playing games for goodness sakes.

I'm cold and calculating. Don't press my buttons.

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.

Calm down LurkingHorror... for before a 'war' starts, TWO are needed. ShadowDragon's asseveration is valid too... This ain't "Project Greenlight, Season 4" contest or something fer Christ's sake... We all know it's the way the movie industry is. Sometimes you OFFICIALLY announce your movie before going pre-production, sometimes you do it after production has started. It ain't like it's written on stone or something... You should know better man. Unless you have some kind of proof that the industry always work the way you state, I for one, don't think ShadowDragon's post was a 'potshot' in any way...

Cool down fellow programs. Enjoy the news and discern, or else, stay news-free until it's been released in your local theatre...

The reasons a remake makes sense is parallel with the purpose behind a sequel.
When you look at the phenomenon involved - some things relate to the biomechanical essence that was taught to life at the genetic level is similar to the symbolic methods revealing it through cinematic language.
That's what feels so good about Tron, it's like a light in the dark to the conscience, a motivational sense you find in making life descisions. Something that is mere coincidence to the purpose we all share, a central moment. The reproduction will probably bring that to us, so it's all good in my book.

The only assertion he made was a snide potshot at an argument long dead MONTHS ago. If you want to back that argument, be my guest. but why you want to assign your name to such a thing is beyond me.

In case it is somehow unclear, NO ONE is currently suggesting that the state of the film is uncertain. That argument transpired quite a bit of time ago now when the state of the film WAS uncertain. ShadowDragon has appeared now to throw his perspective back in the ring months after the fact, when time has somewhat altered any contrary position.

It's akin to you claiming back in August that McCain was going to lose the Presidential election, being told that we would have to wait and see, and now in January you return to point out how you were right all along and people better stop trying to argue with you. Here's a shock, that dialog is long dead. It's asinine to tell people who have stopped arguing with you to stop arguing with you. You should know this.

Yeah. I am in a better position than 99% of the people on this forum to know what is actually happening on a day to day level with the Tron license. Absolutely. I need to prove this?

To be 100% honest, Tron is a good memory from my youth. I still enjoy watching it, mostly because I remember the joy and wonderment of when I first saw it.

I seriously doubt if a remake/sequel 30 years after the original came out is going to invoke the same feelings, but I hope I am wrong.

I just really don't want this to be something geared towards tweens and in a format that will ostracize fans of the original.

I watched a couple old interviews of the guy who is apparently going to be the lead role in Tron. His unique, deep voice kind've reminded me of Jeff Bridges at times, and his facial features somewhat reminded me of Jeff, too. I've never seen him act before, but I was pleasantly surprised at the potential of him doing a good job of being "Flynn's son" or something. My fear of him ruining the Tron franchise by being a teen angsty Hayden Christensen (Darth Vader in Ep's 2 and 3) type of actor seems to be going away. He seemed unique and a bit serious, which is cool, imo. I hope Disney keeps the seriousness and doesn't inject too much (or any) "Jet" from Tron 2.0 into his character. I remember wishing Jet had more of a Flynn mentality and demeanor. And also hope Boxleitner's character goes back to his roots and is nothing like how he was portrayed in Tron 2.0.

MTV has a brief interview with Olivia Wilde, but apparently no new information is revealed.

I say "apparently" because the video won't play for me. Probably because I'm not a U.S. resident or something stupid like that. But the text summarizes what was said in the video, anyway.
