I agree so much with this. One of the strongest connections that Legacy had with the original was Kevin Flynn and Alan Bradley... and I wish we would have gotten more of both of them, to be honest. Anyway, I totally agree: there is NO WAY ANYONE else should EVER play these two characters. Ever. End of line.

After hearing Boxleitner talk about his roles in these films, I think he'd de-rezz anyone who played Tron, in person or voice over. Tron is his, so he feels.

How on earth do movie directors or casting people decide on actors for roles, anyway?

Has to be part inspiration. Maybe they hear the voice and even if Bruce was in a western at the time, they could just hear him saying Tron's lines with conviction. He wasn't sure about it. But when they asked again, he decided, with Jeff there, to go for it. And you have to wonder too, what if the chemistry isn't there. I think Jeff, Bruce, Dan and Cindy did very well together, even if there was no scene where all four were together....sadly. order abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pill

Sequel, absolutely. I can't even count the number of conversations I had with people who thought it was a remake and I was so livid. While sometimes remakes are okay, and seeing movies with awesome new effects are cool, I would not want Tron subject to that.on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill online

Sequel.
The original was magical because it was bleeding edge. You could make it look more modern...sure. But you could not capture the imagination of an early-80's audience seeing what was essentially the future of cinema, and recreate that.

Short term - yes. Long term, not as much. If a remake would have done better it would have helped ensure the possibility of continued material - thus expanding the Tron mythos further. Which as you say, would be better for fans.

The problem with remakes is so much can be lost in the new iteration, that it becomes an entirely new animal. BSG is my prime example. Maybe the old version was cheesy but it was a futuristic show about something related to Earth. I didn't even know what they were trying to say with the new version, relating to Earth. So not the same anyway. The ending had some merit, but it took that long to get to it, and it still wasn't BSG.
How many remake films of older films and TV shows have dropped the ball?

Hmmm.. I guess that's true. It's just that generally, remakes tend to replace the original film they're based off of in the official canon.
Either way, I'm glad they made another Tron movie in the first place, lol.

Well, to be fair I would have liked a good remake that kept the spirit of the original. Not a bad remake that lost the spirit.
But that extends beyond the scope of the original question. It's a given that quality is the first criteria for either preference and shouldn't need to be qualified specifically.abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

Agreed. I've always argued that I will take a bad movie over no movie. Not that the new Tron is bad, just that no matter how good or bad it might be, it's always going to be preferable to no movie at all.
As for official canon, it's not really important. It's all (official or unofficial) imaginary anyway.

Dude there's a whole part of Disney that makes movies like Pirates of the Crribean, and Prince of Persia. AND Tron Legacy, which had characters like Quorra and Gem.

Precisely. I've always felt like remakes should have to follow the exact script of the original to be considered a remake. Otherwise it's more like a fan film, as if one of us said "y'know, I didn't like this part of the movie, but what if I rewrote it the way I like it?" Except then that is packaged as a remake. It's not a REMAKE if it's DIFFERENT! Or so I've always thought. But I'm a weird purist about some stuff.

Yeah, that would suck if they did a remake and something about canon got changed. I never thought about that. And canon does matter, to fic writers, RPers, and, well, those of us who discuss the various happenings of the film. (a lot of us writers got knocked off course when Sirius got killed off in Harry Potter...it nullified any stories set any time after that particular book in which Sirius is alive. Do you ignore canon or toss the story? What if you're halfway through one, do you change it or just throw canon to the wind? You hate to throw away or change anything you've already done, but you also hate your readers to say "what? That's not canon! What is this person doing?" Again, I'm a purist. I prefer to work through loopholes in canon, not ignore it entirely.)

It'd be hard to do. It's been 30 years...the world is different, people are different, movies are different. There's no way they could make it seem the same and have it be popular these days, I think.
And of course, with a remake...do you make it happen in the original time the original movie was made, or do you make it occur in the present time? Because that will change the story too.

I don't see why having a remake in modern times would dramatically affect the story. Technology may have grown, but the science of Tron is still entirely fiction. That said, I'd be all for a remake being set in the early 80's.
Regarding canon - I find that fans tend to think about canon in a much more purist sense than those creating the professionally released material. Canon is an interesting tool, but if you keep a property around long enough it will inevitably go out the window. It's already shifted with Tron. Tron 2.0 WAS the official canon of the Tron universe. The current film is a retcon. A future film may retcon the most recent film. Canon is an illusion - at best.
