Flynn Lives

I find it funny how every animated movie becomes live action and vice versa. I also was floored to see Trinity from the Matrix now wants to be a Jedi. She's gotta be someone's mommom by now.
 
Never got a copy for myself and only ever saw clips from the final piece as it was.
Totally silly-
I'm sure Stew still has a copy. What a week that was-

And I was wondering why all of a sudden there was a Tron Pinball in my consciousness.
I had never seen one until ZapCon9
I love Tron so will be excited to watch this. Wonder if stern will make a trilogy pinball?

I really DO hope they do justice to the Tron story with this third one.

And speaking of art...
I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing where @Arroyo is with his EDOT project at some point too.

That's a good point. "Our" Tron barely appears in the second movie.
 
I enjoyed the arcade scene in TRON Legacy, but after the first disc war and light cycle battle, it started to drop off for me.
 
I see that now. The first trailer was dropped 2 days ago at the D23 in Brazil. I guess some of it was leaked, but I haven't seen it.
I'm lookin' forward to it too, hope it's good!
 
Everything about expanding this brilliant concept from way back then into the current day's consciousness should be a no-brainer.
The idea is even more apropos now than it was when I was 12.

They can really only screw it up by propagandizing it, so hopefully they don't.
 
Am I the only one who finds the design of Tron way cooler than Tron Legacy/Ares? The original had so much style, oozing with color, and the new ones are just bleh

Agreed. Legacy was more The Matrix/Blade Runner than anything else, way too neon glass looking. There was supposed to be more of an A.I. component in the sequel's story (the ISOs) but it got cut out, that might have made the story a little better but I just remember being disappointed by the whole thing, especially the motorcycle kid star Sam and the new OS that ENCOM is releasing is just UNIX. Why would "users" bleed in the computer world when they didn't in the first movie? How is it even possible for a program to enter reality? Lots of stupid "cool" ideas they went with but without providing any kind of explanation for them.
 
The human race is inefficient and keeps selling us the same story over and over .Hey Warner bros how about a robotron 2084 movie? You should make a movie and a sequel game for it with Motorola source code . The story of a genetic nano bot ginny pig experiment giving a regular guy cyborg powers to see corrupted chips snd shoot lasers from his I watch .
 
There's a link on Reddit to the footage shown at USD3. I'll see if I can find it again.

The D3 link shows a light-uh-jetski, lol.
 
I don't know how to imbed the video. Have you guys seen this?

Okay, that's interesting.

It also answers a few questions about who is back and who isn't.

I think the female lead is Andrea Riseborough, who played Victoria in Oblivion, and I get that general vibe when I see her. I could be wrong, but it looks just like Victoria.

Then again, since this was fan-made, it could be exactly why I got that vibe. Argh.

TRON was created at a time where ANYTHING in 3D was absolutely incredible. People lost their minds over a teapot. When the hardware cost millions and the render time could be calculated by Frames per Hour.

By the time Legacy was being drafted it was taboo. By the end of the 2000's it was relatively easy for a production house to render large portions of a set, the decorations and even the costumes while everyone was walking around a green screen. Complicated choreographed scenes and camera movements could now be done virtually and blended in with actors for close-ups. None of that could be done at the start of the 80's so it all had to be done through graphical effects because no computer could touch that kind of a workload.
The point I'm trying to make is that the original Tron relied heavily on set decorators, costume designers and a lot of jobs that a computer would (ironically) eventually replace with a half dozen people in a room. Going back to the "classic" style is famously expenisve.

3d and computer graphics were a huge thing in the early 80s. I remember National Geographic did a hologram sticker of an eagle on it's cover that sold a lot of magazines. I probably still have it in storage. Holograms are a dime a dozen now but I still think they are cool. Everything changed so fast in the late 70s through the 80s.
