Not that we know of yet at least.

redo of Tron? As in they were planning a remake ?

-=S=-

I cringe at the thought of a remake. A sequel on the other hand would be sweet.

Steven has the story. I watched him write it out on a paper table cloth over lunch. I have a copy. If they let me pick the story this would be the one. Disney just doesn't have the balls to let Steven make another film.

What I find odd about all this is . . . look at Miramax. A studio whose very existence is based on releasing unusual, risky films. Which happens to be owned by Disney.

I know Miramax is treated as a separate company. I just find it ironic, that this studio is owned by the same people who won't take a risk on another Tron film.

Maybe a Tron sequel should be a Miramax release, if that's what it takes. But, nah. I can never see that happening.

I don't think a Tim burton version of TRON is something I'd want to see. I love his work, but not on TRON.

Strangely, he may have been one of the animators that worked on the original TRON all those years ago. I am told he was at the studio during that time period.

Since Disney sold lithtech engine to WB (AOL time warner), thier enemy, why not believe there are internal conflicts, blazing out of control? First, I noticed the Disney business connection to sports.

Then, I know the people who run sports right now are the Pharma cartel. So, you combine lobbyists and propaganda machine, and you would have disney shaking hands with the devil about 20 times over.

If they want "MCP" protocols so bad, why make a movie effectively trashing thier prestige. Where's the Illuminati? Hoover may know. Interesting how Disney and I share very similar bloodlines... No writers guild there.. d ‘Isigny.

I think it's no coincidence the clinton secretary of ag. worked for disney as a lobbyist, we lost millions to canada and mexico.

Glickman rang out, that china wanted to resolve the conflict with taiwan peacefully, was probably white as a ghost. Disney Hong Kong? heh. no greenmail there.

He dropped the issues of protesters being banned form tienneman square upon his arrival, he stated, that it doens't tell the full story on what's going on in china, to push trade relations for US/China, and to avoid AFTA, which would hurt china.

Normalized trade with china is a bit of an understatement.

We cant forget the railway Glickman, Disney lobbying for the ol railway, and boy do they want to turn us into tollville.

And, they want a major morale boost, which could have fit perfectly, if they actually used something that made it happen. I think tron 2.0 may have been part of the puzzle. I hope they will learn to use morale by the root forms. Not this cock eyed stay and play free.
Trade that Biache.

An announcement came out early this year saying they were working on doing a 'retelling of Tron'. I believe the article came out on or about January 13th, 2005. AintItCoolNews.com commented on it and there were some News bits here at the Sector. I don't have time to search for them right now, though... sorry! But yes, there was an announcement earlier this year to pique our curiosity again.

Unfortunately, I seemed to be the only person here at the Sector that was excited by the prospects of another Tron-related movie. Most people were upset that they thought it would be a "remake" and that Lisberger might not be involved. Although those things maybe bring down the excitement a notch, I still saw it as great news.
