Cool, lets just hope it's not just a rumour and if they make the movie it has somewhat updated looks with the same feeling of the universe of computers and programs.

That sounded quite good until i read:

"It will be written by a couple of writers from the TV series Lost: Eddie Kitsis and Adam Horowitz"

I feel like kicking disney now.. really i do!

Boingo_Buzzard If these writers were from the first few shows of season one, all may be good. If they're from after that, Heaven help us all.

thats my fear!...
oh well might just write an email to disney and ask a few questions...

I'm out of it for a little while, and everyone starts having delusions of grandeur.

Wow, I feel like I've missed a lot. Hello again everyone! I'm very excited about this news. I understand the "wait and see" attitude, but I don't see anything wrong with spreading the word, getting people excited about this possibility. Keep your chins up!

Having met Bruce and hearing him discuss the film, I am fairly certain he'd be back in a flash. Cindy and Dan I know would do it, and I have read articles with Jeff Bridges that make it fairly clear he'd consider coming back if the story is good.

I don't think in this case there is a problem with anyone other than David Warner who reportedly hates the film.

If there's a dharma station in Tron 2, I'm just going to punch the writers. XP

Man, writers from Lost just gave me slightly less confidence. The show was going in so many directions that I gave up on watching the show.

Although, I'm pretty sure that shouldn't happen to Tron 2... but seriously, as long as they have someone to keep them in line, it should be okay.

Did a little scan over IMDB to see who david warner was (hes Sark.. lol)

and found Tron hit IMDB, Due out 2010.
Now ofcourse im away that any hogswash can hit IMDB, but still.. info is being passed around here and ideas thrown on the table with identity discs.. lol (ok bad joke)

Because the universe the Tron characters reside in is not literal. If you take the "computers are X better now than they were back then" argument to it's logical conclusion, then the digital world should look more or less like our world does now.

It's important for us all to not confuse digital effects with design. The designs are not outdated in the slightest. The Solar Sailer, the lightcycle, the tanks, the character designs... all of these things still have an incredibly futuristic look that when applied properly, is just as effective today as it was 25 years ago.

I'm not having a negative attitude about the idea of a new film. Far from it, I really want to see one.

However, I don't really want some dipstick who is just going to turn it into a gimmick for fast food franchises to make toys from to make it. I don't know this Kosinski's stuff, but the examples on his site scream commercials, not movie. I don't have faith in him yet. Let's se him do something with Logan's Run first, another fave of mine.

I don't want people who "LOST" me as a fan of their TV show in their crappy second season to write it. I already think they suck because LOST was so damn good and then it just started to SUCK in a big way. Season three is no better, I've seen parts of it and I hated it.

Disney doesn't get TRON anymore, if they ever did. They didn't understand what it said to us in 1982, they don't know why it lives on like it does, and they have no idea how to take it into the future. To be honest, I don't know that anyone, including Steven, really does at this point. What is the thing that we connected to then....today?

There are great ideas on the table, and things that will make some good films on paper, but that amazing, wonderful, better than the first one follow-up is not on paper yet. But boy are there some good scenes written so far. I have one I really want to see on film involving Flynn and a new character that is just badass.

Having been in the places I have been in the past few years, I have learned a lot from Steven and the other folks from TRON. I have come to agree that if a story comes together that makes sense, then it will get made.

I have personally read every treatment since 2000, with the exception of the last two teams Disney hired, and I know that Disney has said no to anything that the fans would like. Plus they've attempted the new story with at least three writing teams since 2000, that we know of. They are struggling with the concept.

I have watched Steven go into meetings with these people completely psyched to possibly get it off the ground again and do something great. Then I watch him come out dejected because they are not listening or want to do something other than his vision. I hate to see that. He deserves better.

I personally would rather spend the rest of my life with the TRON that I have, and never see anything new, than watch it be mangled by one more set of hands that don't get it.

I am more interested in seeing what my friend can do with his Soul Code project because I see the joy on his face every time he talks about it.

Disney can't ruin that one.

I don't have a bad attitude about TRON 2 at all, I just have serious doubts that these people Disney keeps handing it to will F it up big time. If you are going to make the film Disney, start with the art, build on the story and make it the greatest film ever, or don't make it at all.

Off my soapbox now.

Maby send them an annoying little email too?
the best way to get to them is to write in, sure we are somewhat a small community but i must insist that people dont just post their issues on here (sure you can post to share your thoughts) but also take it up with disney.

"give the fans what they want"
which i belive has been a great concensus of the movie industry, and anyone who argues that its wrong can backup their claims first because i would like to know if they have ever just been a complete nerd and written in to a movie studio and well "given them a peice of my mind" so to speak.

as i say, the movie hasnt started yet and although it makes an interesting director hes seems to be an up and comming one.. a chance?
as for the "lost" guys.. well, im not going to comment on that dribble!

it mightent inspire alot in us all to see it off to such a start, but im asking for thoes who object to write in and object to it before they start going into production.. maby disney can share a little of the plot line with us and we can bitch and moan about that if its not good enough?

again, post your opinions, but any "beef" should also be sent to Disney.
