Could be? What also intrigues me is the so called "wilderness" areas of the system. Energy must not be very plentiful there, kinda like water in a desert.

I never seen Hot Pursuit, but it's basically a John Cusack teeny comedy from 1987, so that pretty much explains the plot right there. I wonder why he directed it, to be honest.
Lisberger's last film, "Slipstream" (which I've seen about half of it) is a somewhat low budget dystopian film that stars Mark Hamill, Bill Paxton and Bob Peck. Gary Kurtz, who produced and directed the second unit on Star Wars, produced this movie as well. Unfortunately the movie didn't do so well. It was a direct-to-video release in the US, did poorly in theaters in England and actually bankrupted Kurtz, who shortly lost a divorce case around the movie's production. Due to that court ruling, Slipstream somehow got released into the public domain, so you can easily find the movie online.
After these movies, I think Steven started focusing back on Tron. I do know that since around the late 90s, Lisberger has been literally fighting Disney to get the movie made and I'm so, so glad his efforts weren't in vain. |
I remember catching "Slipstream" on HBO back in the early 90's and not being to impressed with it but happy that Steven was still alive and working. Then he disappeared (Kinda like Flynn come to think...) and I didn't hear anything from him until the TRON 2.0 years.
