I just checked IMDb and as of February 17, Cindy Morgan and Olivia Wilde are no longer listed on the cast of the Tron: Legacy Sequel. I know it's not a done deal, but I wonder what prompted them to take them off of the cast listing. I can't imagine Tron 3 without Quorra in it.

I've been hearing a lot about Tron filming finally this year??
That is great news! Finally I get to ride light cycles again !

Yeah, as of now it's just Garrett Hedlund and Bruce Boxleitner. I would really like to see Cillian Murphy in it too. It'll be exciting to see additions to the cast as we get closer to fall.

Yeah, I'm totally expecting Quorra to be back. You're right, she's too important not to be in the next movie. As for Kevin Flynn not being in the movie, it can't be worse than Tron as Rinzler and not actually Tron. I can see Kevin Flynn showing up in flash backs though. I'm just happy there's another movie and that we'll get to see Tron in full effect.

Yes, I think it would be fun as long as her character maintains the same balance as Legacy. 
"Profoundly naive, unimaginatively wise."

God, I hope she doesn't act like a clueless, ditzy idiot. She's had as much information and exposure about the user world as Sam did about the Grid, so a similar level of cluelessness/humor would be appropriate.

Also I'd love to see her talking to kitchen appliances and not understanding why Sam doesn't talk to his coffee maker. "You have to let the program's know you care about them, even if they can't really hear you, they can feel you." Something like that, where its goofy and deep all in one.

This doesn't work for me because it's not how programs perceive things (in my opinion, of course).  They expect/desire real communication - that's why Tron (and so many others) being cut off from the I/O towers mattered so much.  Talking to the coffee maker is nothing to the programs inside if it doesn't have voice interface.  They can't feel the user.  Communication takes place through prescribed channels and that's how they know the users are out there.


And, of course, there's the entire bit about Quorra being an ISO instead of a program.  Admittedly, we don't get a lot of program psychology, but what we see Tron do is at least generally about fulfilling the purpose he was written for - same for for Dumont and especially Clu.  Less so, Yori.  ISOs are different - they are not preprogrammed to fill a certain function.  Obviously "the Creator" matters a huge amount to Quorra, but I think ISOs have more freedom/flexibility/plasticity/can't-come-up-with-the-right-word than programs.  Programs don't seem to want warm and fuzzies from their users, but instructions, aid in solving problems, etc.

Maybe I could go for a "they deserve to be acknowledged for a job done well, even if they'll never hear it."  Or maybe I could buy Flynn never having explained to Quorra how communication takes place from the User perspective so she doesn't initially understand that spoken words aren't heard by programs, but I'm iffy on that.

I agree this would be really cool.  Probably because we know Tron has a high respect for and joy about Alan(-1)...and Alan has been ambling around in the real world this whole time.  Curious to know what his opinions of the grid or computer world would be. 

I'd enjoy seeing Lora again.  Yori, too.  But this is a sequel to Legacy (presumably set near after) with OW and GH - it needs the look and feel of Legacy at least as much as the original.  And Quorra's importance to the User world is too important an element of Legacy to be ignored or forgotten in a sequel.  And I really love the user-world, beginning part of the first movie, anyway.

Of course, I really enjoyed Legacy.  I liked the first movie, but it was the sequel that made me join a message board and read fanfic.  It carried more emotional weight with me.  And  I loved The Next Day.  Real-world consequences are very interesting to me, but I know not so interesting to the the bulk of the movie-going audience and probably too far in the past, story/narrative-wise, to get a lot of attention. Though I'd be thrilled if the new one was set less than a year later, I admit.  Especially if it went the Dillinger route hinted at in extras.  A little dialog with that as set-up for the in-Grid adventure seems reasonable.

But Legacy was very much a passing-of-the-torch movie.  From one generation to the next.  I don't think passing the torch back is a good story-telling tactic.  Alan (or Lora, or Roy) could be used as a third primary, but that seems unlikely to me.  Tron or Yori maybe more likely.  Especially is Tron's "healing" is part of the movie. If so, I'm very much in favor of Yori as a support with a coding-based (rather than psychology-based) "fix" and, of course, Alan is the only one suitable for that.  I'm not sure Alan on the outside trying to help can work from a story-telling POV, though.  A user, outside, has too much power.  That's why Alan's locked out in the first movie and there's no one out there (Sam came to arcade alone) in the second.  Fortunately, we know code can be modified from the inside. 

Well? No one seems to be saying, and we know Disney hasn't said anything, so where is this ultimately coming from? I'll breathe a little easier when I see the teaser at Comicon.
