Do you still think there will be a Tron 3?

on Sunday, November, 20, 2011 9:55 AM
I know what we want and hope, but...

Unless there was some news tidbit I missed, it sure seems like Tron3 is shelved.

Maybe they are waiting to see how the animated show does?

At this point I'm thinking there will be no Tron3, at least not in the next 5 years.

I don't know, T:L did similarly to Batman Begins, and it took Dark Knight 3 years to follow it.

Matrix Reloaded came 4 years after Matrix as the first of a 2 part production.

Does anyone remember what the sequel buzz was like a year after these two movies?

My biggest concern for continuity would be for Olivia Wilde to age to a point where they have no choice but to portray a Quorra that gets older in the real world.

It seems like they had done everything short of full-blown production in preparation of more sequels, including signing on the actors for future movies. While this isn't proof that a timely Tron 3 is on schedule, I wouldn't give too much importance to the silence we're having at the moment, not at least for another year perhaps.order abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pillabortion pills online abortion questions cytotec abortion

I highly doubt it will be made. I think the sequel and remake laziness trend of hollywood will come to an abrupt end as they are seeing how almost all of these types of movies are falling below box office expectations. There will be a mad rush to find *GASP* original material.

More importantly, is the whole thing with Disney's primary objective of always merchandising everything to death. TL did not create a big enough splash with the kiddies for continued sales or development of new Tron brand items 6 months after movie release.
I am not sure about what is at the theme parks, but I would imagine that the Pirates of the Carribean stuff brings in quite alot of money compared to Tron, especially considering that Pirates has a ride attatched to it.

I am just glad that the sequel was even made, even though it was somewhat disappointing. abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

Doesn't sound like anyone is taking into account this from three months ago. From the mouth of Tron himself

The original plan was that if Tron Legacy did good at the box office, Kosinski would direct two more Tron films. If it bombed, he was to do a remake of The Black Hole and his original film idea "Oblivion".

Disney just recently sold the rights to "Oblivion" to Universal Studios, so it's a pretty safe bet that they're going to move ahead with the two sequels.

I'd thought of this, but in the end I don't think it would serve their best interests. The process is more expensive than shooting Quorra practically, and unless they make major leaps within the next 5 years (beyond which continuity for this storyline will be forced to change more than I'd like), it will still be obviously fake. They got away with CLU partially because he was a program version of Flynn, but how do you explain an organic-looking Iso becoming more aritifical?

On an intuitive level, I have a feeling Tron 3 will buck the failing sequel trend and do better box-office wise if they stick to their guns now, and I think they know it too.

This is news to me, where did you hear the merch sales were a disappointment?

Yes, but it's also been said the Pirates saga is done or close to done, and Disney is eager to find a new show to take its place.

I'm more impressed than disappointed at the moment, of course that will change if I hear Tron 3 is a bust.

I think we are, we're just not giving it that much stock, since in T:L he was something of a supporting character and none of the core actors (Bridges, Wilde and Hetlund) nor Kosinski or Lisberger have commented on this. Even more the fact that nobody has confirmed whether Boxleitner is even involved with Tron 3. A similar thing happened with Jurassic Park and Laura Dern (Dr. Saddler), so I'd be cautious about taking this at face value.

Again, that's news to me. I didn't know the two projects were mutually exclusive for Kosinski. What I've heard is that he was going to do Oblivion regardless, but Tron depended on success.

Since Oblivion is Kosinski's brainchild, Disney dropping Oblivion sounds like they're dropping Kosinski too. I don't see how dropping another member (on top of the writers) of the T:L team is good news for sequels.

One of the main reasons I'd give Boxleitner's comments more than a grain of salt was that while he wasn't a primary character in Tron: Legacy, he was certainly setup to be a bigger player in a proposed sequel. The movie ends with Bradley becoming a head honcho at Encom and Rinzler redeemed and becoming Tron again. I don't feel like it was the same as the Laura Dern in Jurassic Park situation. Plus Boxleitner is reprising his role in Tron: Uprising so I figured he must have a good relationship with Disney.

Why not? Dr. Saddler's role in the first JP was about as pivotal as that of Grant and Malcolm's before it was revealed Grant and Malcolm would return separately for sequels. She was naturally next in line, she "confirmed" another sequel herself, but that project was shelved and now it seems there may not even be a Dr. Saddler in JP4.

Yes, they set Tron/Bradley up for a reprisal, but that decision was made before the movie was released, and they fact that they didn't sign him back on is more telling, imho.

Perhaps. Ultimately it's still one man's word against the silence of many.

I don't know that not having heard anything by now necessarily means anything. My guess is the success of Tron: Uprising could still make or break whether there is a Tron 3. I suppose its possible they could announce a greenlight before the show airs to generate interest in Tron: Uprising and they've been holding their cards close to their chest in an effort to build on that.

While Bruce Boxleitner is one guy and there is a bunch of other people being quiet. I don't know if that means anything or not. No one is really under any obligation to tell us anything at this point.

I guess I'm not overly optimistic or pessimistic at this at this point. If anything I believe no final decisions have been made yet.

No, not having heard anything doesn't necessarily mean anything, but silence grows louder the longer it carries on.

I think T:L and T:U would attract vastly different audiences, devoted fans aside. Not sure I see the wisdom in using a cartoon show to gauge interest for a slightly more grown up feature film. Things do work a little smoother in the reverse direction, though.

It could mean something or nothing, yes, but refer to the above paragraphs.

As do I. We be Tron agnostics.

Tron: Uprising IS the key. Disney's one regret, with Tron: Legacy, is that they forgot about the kids. Their focus was on adults and the fanboys. Even at the, Legacy grossed 400 mil + World Wide. Disney is going to do things right this time. We fanboys will be there. The kids and young adults will bring their parents to the Grid.

Tell everyone you meet about Tron: Uprising. Have the YouTube link ready to show anyone and everyone. I alone am responsible for over $1,000.00 in Movie Tickets, Blu-ray, Dvd, Sound track sales by friends and peope I've talked to. When you are at Target, Best Buy, etc. Make sure to position the Tron Blu-rays, Dvds, and Sound tracks so people can see them. If you see someone purchasing a Blu-ray, 3D tv, or souround sound system, recommed Tron: Legacy for their collection. It is the best movie to show off that new system. KEEP THE BUZZ GOING. KEEP THE GRID ALIVE.

Great idea, I will spread news of the Grid!
But I hope they don't make it too much for the kids, or us fans wont like it. I have seen it happen too much, where they over do the part of it for the kids (movie and toys), and it wreaks it for others. They will have to find the happy area between to keep all happy. abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

I would imagine Disney has got to be shooting for a show like Clone Wars. Kids love the show and fanboys can watch it and not feel like it is Star Wars dumbed-down. Some episodes of Clone Wars are probably too intense for real small children. I won't let my five year old watch. Disney has also seen success with Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, It seems to have been embraced by kids and the fanboy crowd as well. If they are using those as any kind of inspiration I would think we are all in good hands.
My hope is we get some decent writing and they flesh out the world of Tron in ways that fit in with what we have seen and surprise us as well.

I agree. Both Tron Movies were perfect for all ages. Both movies were PG rated. There are some scenes that might alarm young children, hence the PG rating. With The Original Tron, Disney was trying to reinvent themselves as a Movie Maker for adult audiences. With Tron: Legacy, they just forgot about the Kids all together. They won't make the same mistake Thrice, not with what they are putting into Tron: Uprising. As Far as the Tron buzz, check this out.

Really? Can you quote or at least ballpark the source of this information?

Wait, what are you saying? Are the movies perfect or not for all ages?

I personally felt they were. With the watered-down, benign pirates from POTC and overall emphasis on being non-provocative, I felt kind of disappointed Disney was doing T:L, but was pleasantly surprised, but only just. For me it sits on a knife edge - I would have liked T:L to be a little darker and deeper but I appreciate it would've been too dark for other demographics. Any more focus on being kid-friendly and they will almost certainly lose viewers like me.

Hmm, I actually felt the storytelling and characters were far too transparent for a grown up to watch. Lots of one-liners and cliched dialogue.

With respect, let Tron: Uprising be for the kids, but I sincerely hope they repeat this "mistake" for future movies.

I think that Mr. Boxleitner has been told something that the public will not know, at least for a while. I don't think they would just tell him anything. He's probably doing the voice regularly and chats with writers and such. Legacy was left ambigously open almost as much as it's predecessor, lets hope it doesn't take almost 30 years again.

The animated series will turn heads, regardless of good or bad writing, because it's so beautiful and technically amazing that lots of people are going to latch onto it. A few of my chums agreed as well. They knew nothing about TRON or what I described to them, but they all watched the teaser with me in awe.

It. Looks. Incredible.

This is obviously a gateway for TR3N's production. They're obviously investing in it's popularity, even taking the time to put it in random projects like the Disney Universe games. Why would they ever stop there?

(The whole "Laura Dern" comparison doesn't make any sense. The Lost World was actually based on the sequel to the Jurassic Park novel and Ian Malcom is the only character that comes back. Jurassic Park 3 was not based on a novel and the guy playing Grant was the only guy available . . . also it sucked, hard, but that's just me.)
