That would imply abuse of the Grid, probably exploited by Dillinger Jr or ENCOM. Lest you all forgot, Lora works for the government now due to the back story in TRON: Betrayal.

the underlying themes could be:

1) how greed and jealousy can corrupt a person and so they do all they can to exploit technology for there own self agrandizement and obtaining of wealth and power for themselves.

2) how love and family are important treasures to be valued.


Come on, you really think Sam is going to accept that The Grid nor his father can't be restored? A Flynn wouldn't think that IMO.

You think Tron wouldn't come into play in the sequel, nor Dillinger jr or a Program he writes?
if Dilliger Jr, from spying and snooping around via hacking, learns of a self-sustained digital world in an Encom server, I think he would want to exploit that.
He would probably have his own hacking program, "Sark 2.0" in-a-sense. not Sark, but a new Program resembling Dillinger Jr.

Sam's personal stake would to finally return his father to the real world.

I think Quorra would be the person to have Sam's back from the real world once Sam re-enters "The Grid".

Sam is going to need some companions to help him with challeges such as restoring Flynn, and fighting what ever Dillinger uploaded into the modern Encom server now containing "The Grid" and whatever has happened as a result of that.... So in steps Tron, and hopefully a Quorra 2.0 that could be Quorra's own Program she created. (the Iso becoming a User/creator theme I would really dig!) that aids Sam as well.

Yori could return as a System Administration Program that was installed with the Shiva Laser digitizing system.

I would like to see: 1) A female protagonist. 2) A techno-apocalyptic setting premised on the fact that programmer analysts are no longer needed.

The idea would be that the ISO contained a programming environment. 5) Title: Tron ‘Regression’

no, not another "new main character" i mean sam was pretty cool.... but tron 3 should focus more on tron, instead of bringing another new character... i want to see more of tron's story and felt his character was underdeveloped in legacy...

i still rather have tron 3 focus mostly on tron..... and sam and quarra 50/50.....

Is anyone else amused that Sam could download the whole server on his phone? Oh, how far we have come...

I'd say we're looking at late 2012 at the earliest for a sequel should one get a green light.

TR3N (Tron 3) should be comprised of Sam restoring his father into the real world.

Dillinger's son seemed portrayed much as the original Alan Bradley was in the original Tron, kurt-narrow minded. From the movie, I gathered he was a good employee who promoted the product they sold.

Tron had at least one of every device so I suspect he has the flying butterfly wings as well.

Flynn seemed able to manipulate the original Electronic World by avoiding death while leaping into the MCP itself. That was the angle I couldn't compute about the new movie. Why Flynn couldn't activate the laser prior to 20 years. He seemed rather weak willed. Kevin Flynn played video games better than anybody. So why he gave up so easily I'm not sure. Maybe the Dude persona took over from the Lightfoot. Even Ghandi promoted fighting if one's heart was full of violence.

"It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence." A-TEAM

I would avoid the Rocky Film Phenomenon where a hero is brought to the brink of nonexistence and suddenly gathers strength from within to win. The boy magician series uses this as well.

DNA is a program of many G T C A combinations. Modern scientists called geneticists are experimenting with custom program changes. Programmers do this as well. The ISO angle should be extrapolated more.

Maybe we're all really programs in a computer. Insight, intuition, intelligence coming from our Users for whom we carry out their tasks.

I read there was a TV animated series coming out.

3 gigabytes of computer data storage space are needed to store the entire genome. This includes nucleotide sequence data only and does not include data annotations and other information that can be associated with sequence data.

Compression programs probably do wonders on this data.

I think a good direction for tron 3 would be addressing the Internet- specifically, the new encom os that dillenger jr helped develop. I would imagine that there would be some type of "spyware" (I use the term loosely) embedded in the code. Think about it, every computer in the world reporting back to encom about what's on your system, where online you're going, personal and banking info.... . Military, research, and college computers would all be using this OS ( I kinda look at encom like it's the Microsoft of the tron universe)... And encom could have access to all of this information. It could be a very good stand in for the MCP, without rehashing the original storyline. The recurring theme of the free transfer of information would be preserved in this type of story. With xbox live, ps network, and pc gaming online, the concept of unneeded programs fighting to the death also becomes much easier to explain to the audience, ( as well as being a way to introduce new games to the franchise.).
I also hope that Quorra would NOT be explained completely in the next movie. Would rather her role be secondary to sam and tron, with an almost unstated understanding between the two that the fight on the grid will ultimately be about her and her abilities.A breakthrough moment near the end of the film that showcases her abilities (even to herself) would setup tron 4 rather nicely.....

Sorry about the long post!!
