So wait.... I just read somewhere that Disney announced a new TRON movie...In 2005. After TRON 2.0. Which means.... this was before the time when they said they were making a sequela nd wound up making a game... any truth to this?

Et tu', TheReelTodd?

i'm with Todd on this one. tron should be left as is unless it's in the hands of someone who cares for it.


having said that, if I really had to pick between a remake and a sequel. i'd pick sequel. though it would be interesting to see how it would look with today's special effects magic, i'd rather have a continuation of the story, either direct sequel, non-canon with, or set after tron 2.0, or after the events of the comic book series [which I still havn't been able to get my hands on yet].

if done properly with care and combined with modern effects, it would be one hell of a movie!

or after the events of the comic book series (which I still havn't been able to get my hands on yet)

Well... there is that handy set of links on the main news page.

Well, whatever Disney does, sequel or remake, I just hope that they mess the whole Tron thing up. Like, totally change the feel of the computer world or try to market the movie to children.

OH. WOW. UM.... sorry about that, it was late at night, and I guess I was not paying attention to what I was typing. Yes, I totally mean that I hope they DON'T mess Tron up. Sorry for the confusion there.

I'd watch that.

More on topic, a "remake" couldn't really be done that truly, I think. Technology is a lot more advanced than it was in the 80's and let's face it, this movie is pretty dated. No mice, arcades, etc. The whole story (outside the system) may need an overhaul.

However, with a true sequel, they can just throw all modern computing at us and not "break" anything.

Although, I'm probably wrong. I dunno, it's been a while since I was at this board.

I think all Disney cares about right now is Hannah Montana. Their real goal is to try and reach out mainly to the age group of kids born in the 1997-2002 range. I tried explaining TRON to a bunch of little kids in that range while we were watching it, and they got bored silly. Honestly, these kids had probably never known what a real arcade from the 80's is, rather, what Chuck E Cheese and Power Play are. Likely, this movie will go away (and I mean FAR away) from the actual meaning of the first film, and rather go towards a more kid-digestible environment. I mean stuff like:

Virtual Magic Kingdom
Online gaming
Webkins
etc..

Worst possible scenario (if it does happen):
TRON 3.0: FROM THE DIRECTOR OF HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3!

NOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo.........

Of course knowing Disney, that doesn't seem out of the question..

END OF ANTI-DISNEY RANT

Anything Disney or any other studio can do just adds to the treasure trove of TRON goodness.

I'm not familiar with TRON 2.0 editing, but in theory it should be possible to re-enact the entire movie in game.

The users are capable of scripting out any possible extended scenario.

Thats the sure fire way of having an awesome TRON remake , sequel, serial, or saga.

There's nothing stopping any of us from making something great.


This disc means freedom!

Actually, Hannah Montana would make a pretty powerful (not to mention annoying) weapon. Good thing we can't add custom weapons to TRON 2.0. Thank you, BVG, for not releasing the source code! Just kidding.
But why would the MCP purposfully try to torture his gaurds like that? Even he's not that cruel.

I would be happy with a simple movie-ing of the game. Yay for made-up words!
