Disney just announced what's going on at the D23 Expo, and I'll quote directly from the press release since it says it better than I could.
Among the U.S. premieres at the D23 Expo will be new Disney Digital 3D™ versions of “Toy Story” and “Toy Story 2,” the digital conversion of the original “Tron,” and a newly restored digital version of the Walt Disney classic “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” |
So anybody out there that's going to this will be in for a screening of Tron, newly remastered, along with a discussion on Tron Legacy. This could definitely mean a Blu-ray release is in the works.

I want to say I recall that Disney doesn't use blue-ray, it's a disney brand of blue-ray, maybe it's called D-Ray? I forgot.. That's what you'd most likely see.

You'd think with a new conversion they'd invite/fly in the 3 original stars (Jeff, Bruce, and Cindy) to promote, meet fans, and screen it.

That certainly makes it sound like the HD version of Tron is soon on it's way to our hands. I can hardly wait.  ------------->

I deleted several posts because the discussion was getting off topic and may have been distressing to some of our readers.

Does anyone happen to know if this new enhanced version of Tron will be shown in theatres nationwide, or is it just going to be at D23?
I would love to see Tron in the theatre again.

Most persons probably won't get that reference but anyway, did they show the new Tron enhanced version at D23 yet or not? Very curious.

The screening is today at 4:00 PST. I know there are a few people from here going, so I'm sure we'll see some feedback on it, along with (hopefully) some new info/goodies from the TL panel they're conducting with it.

Should be an interesting day.
I hope they don't add any extra footage in this digital conversion like they did with Star Wars. I hope it's true to the original movie with enhanced quality only.

Maybe Haden Christiansen will be digitally placed into the movie as Flynn, rather than Jeff Bridges?  where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

Shouldn't it be getting over just about now?

I thought it looked grainy and awful.
Bad sound cuts removing certain pieces of dialog.
I was not impressed with this digital version.
It could have been due to the location and other technology, but what we saw today was nowhere near as good as the new 70mm print from El Capitan in 2004.

Holy Moly!
This is a disappointing day indeed.
I wonder why it was so bad?
So this means the bluray version is going to be horrible?
All of my hopes for this new masterpiece have now been smashed to the ground like a lightcycle hitting a wall at 300 mph.
Disney. Please resolve this situation immediately. I want my bluray copy of Tron to be flawless. Let me know if you need me to get on a jet and come down there to help you with this digital conversion of a timeless masterpiece. Do not fail me.
Also, is anyone else who went last night going to do a formal review, or is this going to suffice as our review of the new digital conversion of Tron? Tell me it's not this bad.
DaveTRON, is there any chance that the film looked grainy because you had a bunch to drink or something which could cause blurred vision\grainyness, and perhaps sounded bad because of faulty wiring causing a speaker to go out or something? Is there a chance you may have left your sunglasses on during this event which could also cause the film to appear grainy?
Or, could there have been a series of technical glitches occuring with the new version which caused Disney to have to use the old standby VHS version of the film for viewing at the event?
Or, could the new master version have been swiped by a pirate who left behind a crummy pirated version of the film as a form of retribution to add insult to injury or some other scenario yet unmentioned?
I hope one of the above scenarios occurred...if not, this will go down as a very very sad day for the Tron community.
Perhaps J. Maynard (Tron Guy) foreshadowed this event and this very bad version of Tron is what caused the Tron Guy to sell his Tron airplane?
Tell me it isn't so!
This means I will need to notify Cueball because I will need the Tron lightcycle model he has constructed sooner rather than later, so that I may get to work on completely remastering the lightcycle sequence for Disney to help with the digital restoration of this film. I have a lot of work to do now. |

Wow. I can't believe what I'm reading here.
Don't you think that statement is . . . more than a little insulting?
If DaveTRON could notice details such as certain dialogue being clipped short or being removed, then don't you think everything else he said is also on the mark?
You've shown some poor form in the past (continually goading LurkingHorror), but this takes the cake. I think that next time, before you make another post, you should really sit back and take a moment to think things through before saying another word.
If DT says the transfer was less than stellar, then I believe that. No questions asked. It's a crying shame to hear, of course. I hope that bad word of mouth will get back to Disney and make them realize they need to do a better job with it. Maybe this was just a raw transfer, a first attempt, and they haven't gotten around to fully restoring it or cleaning it up yet.
Maybe they thought it was good enough for now, to show it off. But it sounds like they really need to revisit the transfer and do some more work. They still have something like a year to work on it before a Blu-ray release, so here's hoping.
