Genius, Visionary, Modern Hero.

That is Kevin Flynn.

He came into our lives and showed us the limitless possibilities of the future. And then, all of a sudden, he "disappeared."

Some people believed he died. We don't. We know that Kevin Flynn Lives.

We're not crazy, we're not obssessed, we're not lunatics. We simply have followed the facts wherever they lead. And the facts tell us that Kevin Flynn Lives.

We are here for Kevin. Nobody can make us stop believing that he is out there, that he's waiting for us, and that he will return when the time is right.

This is basically the story:

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Encom is working on a Skynet-like security system and staging false terrorist strikes to scare people into adopting their system.

The evil Encom CEO zaps Kevin Flynn back into the computer system in the late 80s to get him out of the way. From then until now Flynn has been a freedom fighter inside the system and is using Tron to hack into Skynet.

Flynn's son goes into the system and finds his dad and they save the world.
[close]

So it looks like they're using bits of Tron 2.0 and still including some of the Apocalypse Now elements that were rumored (and partially confirmed) by last year's Comic Con trailer.

Big spoiler:
spoiler (click to show/hide)
When Tron is killed halfway through the movie, Flynns son takes on the Tron name.

I didn't see it until years after it came out, but I still love Tron. It's one of my favorite scifi movies.

On the other hand, my love affair with all things 80s is often very irrational.

I saw it for the first time early last year and it instantaneously became my all-time favorite movie, only to be trumped late in the year by several repeat viewings of Blade Runner.

I'm not really an 80s guy, but movies in the 80s have an amazing charm about them, and this applies quadruple for sci-fi films of the time.

That's a good point.  As opposed to the hacker movies of the 90s, TRON actually made more sense the more you knew about computers/programming.  There is definitely something to be said for that.

Yeah, its kinda shite, but its got Udo Kier, Ice T (bad acting award 1), Henry Rollins (BAA-2, he's really terrible in it), and Dolph Fugging Lundgren in it.  Its a bad movie, but its not entirely unentertaining, and yes, seriously, Dolph Lundgren gives a good performance.
Title: Re: Flynn Lives
Post by: ManaByte on February 03, 2010, 07:13:54 PM
Gibson actually wrote the screenplay for the Mnemonic movie and published it annotated. I have a copy of that somewhere. The original short story was better as the movie didn't even touch on the people genetically graphing dog body parts on themselves.
Title: Re: Flynn Lives
Post by: ManaByte on February 03, 2010, 07:22:15 PM
Mnemonic was actually one of Gibsons better short stories. The dog bit was an example of how much he fleshed out the world in such a short story.

Quote
"Johnny Mnemonic" is a data trafficker who has undergone cybernetic surgery to have a data storage system implanted in his head. The system allows him to store digital data too sensitive to risk transmission on computer networks. To keep the cargo secure, the data is locked by a password known only to the intended recipient. Johnny enters a trance-like state while the data is being transferred or the passwords are being exchanged, making him unaware of the contents and unable to retrieve it. He makes a modest living in the Sprawl by physically transporting sensitive information for corporations, underworld crime rings or wealthy individuals.

As the story opens Johnny has arranged to meet with his most recent customer, Ralfi Face, at the Drome bar. Ralfi has stashed hundreds of megabytes of data in Johnny, and is overdue paying for the storage. To add to his troubles, Johnny has learned that Ralfi has placed a contract on him, although the reasons are unclear. Johnny finds Ralfi at his usual table, accompanied by a muscle man. Johnny threatens them with a sawed-off shotgun in his bag, but is incapacitated by a neural disruption device hidden under the table. Ralfi reveals that the data was, unknown to him at the time, stolen from the Yakuza, who are very interested in ensuring it is not revealed.

Johnny is rescued by Molly, a "Razorgirl" who has undergone extensive body modifications, most notably fingernail blades. She joins the action at the table, looking for a job. When attacked by the muscle man she cuts his wrist tendons and takes the incapacitating device control from him. Ralfi offers to pay her off, Johnny offers a higher bid to hire her as a bodyguard. Johnny and Molly take Ralfi as they exit the bar, but then Ralfi is killed by a Yakuza contract killer, who dismembers Ralfi with a monomolecular wire sharper than any knife. Johnny fires the shotgun ineffectually, while Molly is delighted to be up against a pro.

Johnny decides that the only way to save himself from the same fate is to get the data out of his head. When Johnny tells Molly the only way to retrieve the password is with a SQUID, she leads him to an amusement park to visit Jones, a retired "navy dolphin". Jones' previous job was to locate and then hack enemy mines using sensors implanted in his skull, including a SQUID. To keep them loyal, the Navy addicted all of their "war whales" to heroin, so Molly trades Jones some heroin in exchange for retrieving the password. Armed with the password, Johnny has Molly read it to him in order to enter the retrieval trance, recording everything that is returned. After downloading the data, Johnny uploads a snippet to a Yakuza communications satellite, with the implication that the rest will be released if he is not left alone.

This leaves the more immediate threat of the Yakuza killer, who is unaware of the threat to release the data. Molly takes Johnny to the "Lo Teks", anti-technology misfits who live in a suspended hideout high in the geodesic domes covering the Sprawl. Communicating via taut wires strung between the platforms, the Lo Teks are instructed to allow the killer to ascend the hideout to meet Molly on "The Killing Floor". Here, on a sprung floor that is wired to synthesizers and amplifiers, she dances around his killing wire until it cuts off his own hand and then falls from the platform.

At the end of the story Johnny and Molly intend to make a living for themselves by retrieving the faint traces of all the previously stored data in Johnny, and blackmail his former customers with it, while living with the anti-tech gang.

Quote
Differences from the source material

The story in the movie significantly deviates from the short story, most notably turning Johnny, not girlfriend Molly, into the primary action figure. In fact, the movie transforms this girlfriend from Molly into "Jane", as the film rights to Molly were owned by a company unaffiliated with the film's producers.[4]

Nerve Attenuation Syndrome (NAS) is a fictional disease in the film, which is not present in the short story. NAS, also called "the black shakes", is caused by an overexposure to electromagnetic radiation from omnipresent technological devices, and is presented as a raging epidemic affecting the world in the future. The plot of the film revolves around the one pharmaceutical corporation that has found a cure but chooses to withhold it from the public in favor of a more lucrative treatment program.

The character Chrome also makes an appearance as an AI who confers with the owner of a large zaibatsu, one of the story's antagonists. She/it is a conscience figure, unlike her original security challenge-response program nature in Gibson's short story.

    Basically what happened was it was taken away and re-cut by the American distributor in the last month of its prerelease life, and it went from being a very funny, very alternative piece of work to being something that had been very unsuccessfully chopped and cut into something more mainstream.

    —William Gibson, in interview with The Peak magazine, 19th October, 1998[5]

Yeah, there are a lot of people who wish the original version were released instead. It sounds like the Japanese version is reasonably different, but probably not remarkably so. I'll rent it and see. Longo apparently had a quirky vision to convey, and it was cosmetically altered to be something mainstream, and failed. Then again, New Rose Hotel was an art-house version of a Gibson story, and it's unwatchable as well.

TRAILER SCREENED TODAY!

Quote
Brief rundown of the trailer:
- A good deal of exposition from Bruce Boxleitner
- An introduction to the main character - Son of Flynn
- A lot of footage from the Tron-world.
- Remember the arcade from the original film? Remember the atmosphere in the arcade, with Flynn being king of his little place. That is what the Tron-world is now like.
- Son of Flynn is thrown into the world, and there is a very cool shot of the Encom laser rearing it's head behind him.

Quote
We all know it's revolving around Flynn's son. It starts with said son being told about his father being missing for 20 years. How Flynn was revolutionizing everything from computers to medicine. The son enters Flynn's arcade. He then goes behind the secret door behind the old Tron arcade game. Fires up a computer. A familiar laser rises behind him. Fires up.

Then we get the computer world!

It was very frantic from this point out. First thing we see is a full on Recognizer. It was badass. Lots more moving parts. The cockpit seemed to rise up the legs like an elevator. Inside we see Flynn Jr. We see a shot of Young Flynn (presumably Clu). We see a badass old Flynn with a posse of other programs behind him. It looks to me like Flynn totally owns the place. We see lots of frisbees being thrown. We see lots of light bikes smashing each other up. We see a light quad-bike getting in on the action. We see the gal from Bones laying on a pretty badass couch.

We also see some tap-dancing with a cane.

Quote
Trailer, which is in 3-D opens with shot of Encom building.
Then Alan is talking to Flynn's son and says, "I've told you that I'd let you know if I ever had information about your missing father." He then says something about a call he got from Flynn's arcade, only the line has been dead for twenty years. There's a shot of Flynn's arcade, old and boarded up, with his son breaking in. He approaches the TRON video game and puts in a quarter. It falls out. He then finds a secret door, much like the door that opened on the "lightcycle video" a year ago. In the back is a secret room with a computer. He sits at the desk and the same lazer that "zapped" Kevin Flynn into the "GAME" Zaps Flynn Junior into the game.

The computer world is very much like what we saw in the teaser. We first get a shot of a recognizer which takes Flynn Jr, somewhere. We also get a shot of Olivia Wilde's character lounging on a chair dressed in an all black body suit. As a contrast, we see an absolutely gorgeous blonde woman walking towards the camera in a white body suit. We then see a dude with white hair who I thought was David Bowie with a guitar. I assume he's with Daft Punk. We then see Clu, Jeff Bridges' computer doppelganger, dressed in all black with yellow stripes getting off an elevator with a posse behind him. I think he's a gangster or something that runs the computer world.

The final segment shows Flynn Jr. walking down a hallway towards a lighted room (pitcell picture) as we hear something like "It's been a long time." We then see Kevin Flynn's eyes (same shot from the teaser). The trailer ends with the date the film opens and then a shot of two combatants on the light cycles bumping into eachother.

The mood of the trailer is definetly DARK. Throughout there's an electronic baseline which I assume is Daft Punk.

Quote
Started off with Flynn's Son talking to some man about finding his father. They presume Flynn to be dead, so the Son inherits Flynn's Arcade. They show the Son racing through the streets on a motorcycle - cutting corners sharply and jumping over curbs. The Son pulls up to Flynn's Arcade which looks like it has been shut down for years. He enters the arcade and turns on the power which lights up all the old video game cabinets. The Son walks over to the Tron machine and puts a quarter into it. The quarter falls right through the coin slot and onto the ground. When the Son bends over to pick it up he notices grooves on the floor and realizes the Tron cabinet can be moved. It opens up like a door and there is a secret computer room on the other side. The room appears to have similar Master Control Program desk console that Ed Dillinger had in his office. The Son boots up the dust covered machine and behind him the Laser from the ENCOM labatory rises up and powers on. We do not get see the Son getting digitized, but in the very next shot we are in the digital world and they show an updated look Recognizer slowly landing. The CGI looked beautiful. There were more shots of various digital world locations. I do not remember exactly what was said but we hear the Son and Flynn talking about how it was good to see each other again. During this they showed what looked like a DISC battle arena. Various characters throwing Discs at each other and one character who was wielding dual discs. They also showed a bit of Light Cycles racing around. There is a shot of (I'm assuming) Olivia Wilde's digital character lounging on a couch. Another shot of a man in Yellow (I couldn't tell if it was Flynn) walking with a group of Red Characters behind him. They also showed one shot of Flynn's face - the same blurry video shot that was used in the already released trailer. Over all of this the Daft Punk score was playing - the same score that's been floating around the internet. At the very end of the trailer we see the Son in a blue light cycle cutting off a red light cycle and it disintegrates.

Original movie BluRay is in the works. Completely color-corrected to match the original prints. Should be out by the time the sequel is in theaters.

Q&A from the LA screening:
Quote
Why did they (Disney and the Directors) chose to wait so long to make a Tron movie and why now? - Technology caught up with the story they wanted to tell and make it feel more real and relevant to today. Also because Disney decided to move ahead with the project.

Is Tron 2.0 part of Tron's canon and will it be reference in Tron Legacy? No. Tron 2.0 is not part of the Tron "movie" canon.

Why did they decide to do it in 3D? - Mostly the success of Avatar and that the direction of movies are going the way of 3D especially with Disney. They shot in 3D because they wanted to immerse the audience into the world of Tron.

Would Bit show up in the movie? - No Bit doesn't appear persay but another character inspired from him with more dimensionality does make a debute.

Would the MPC be in the movie? - No, the original "old construct" was destroyed in the first Tron. There will be a new more relevant threat to address this time.

Would other characters from the first Tron make cameos? - Yes many, some glimpses of some of them are in the trailer if you look close enough.

How did Joseph work with Steven to make Tron Legacy faithful to the original movie? - Both Joseph and Steven said they wanted to make sure they were careful to include nods to the original movie while taking Tron into another more contemporary direction.

Will we see the return of the games from the first Tron? - Joseph stated we would see updated takes on the original gladitorial games as well as some new ones.

Is Daft Punk in the movie? - No, but their music is.

Is the track that was leaked on the internet the music Daft Punk did for the movie? No. There are many fake tracks out there online. No one has heard Daft Punk's score except for now which was used in the trailer you just saw.

Were they concerned that today's audiences would even remember the original Tron? - The answer from Steven is that they would remember too much about the first Tron. Joseph when on to explain that people would see Tron Legacy just like the original Tron was supposed to be viewed but more in line with the level of effects they intended with the first movie - Tron Legacy will feel more realistic.

Why did they use a minimalistic approach to the new suit designs? - Joseph stated that they didn't want to rely on the traditional cel/rotoscoping techniques and that it took too long to hand draw and process that style. They went with real illuminated suits instead that could be further enhanced with CG without relying on inverting the negatives and overlaying facial details. It was easier to do this effect with today's technology over CG bodies.

Did Jeff Bridges have any involvement with the script? - Joseph and Steven both answered that Jeff was very much involved with the script writing process and was hands on in making sure the movie was in line with his character. Jeff found the idea of an older Flynn vs. a younger Flynn very appealing to explore and develop.

Is Disney planning on making any new Tron Legacy based attractions at either Disney World or Disneyland Park? - Joseph answered, many things are in development for both Disney parks but he could not disclose details.

Here's one thing they're doing at the parks:
Quote
Apparently the Motion Picture design team out in California have created a vinyl wrap that will encompass one of the Monorails that circle above the park. From what he's seen, it will make the Monorail look like a light-cycle from the upcoming TRON movie is riding the rails above you.

I guess the cab is the cycle and the rest of the cabins are the light trail

They did the same thing for the Nemo Subs where they made a monorail look like a sub.

So, wait, does this mean that the music they played during the light-cycle reveal at Comic Con wasn't a track from the movie?

Bingo.

Tron, from just the trailer, looks like an intensive labor of love - and the set design absolutely smokes Avatar. The organic stuff is beautifully textured (Flynn's decrepit arcade is impressive) and so much of the film inside Tron looks like it was ripped from the '80s. I really love everything I see about this film - from the music, the atmosphere and the aesthetics.

I'm sure who the baddie is, is not a major spoiler. The trailer that's out doesn't really confirm it one way or another but I assume the bad guy would be a major part of the marketing campaign.  It's sort of like if Manabyte were spoiling that Megatron will be the bad guy in Transformers 3.

That said, I don't really want any story spoilers to leak unless they show up in future trailers, so it's a good warning to give out.

Yeah, both the teaser and the trailer have been fairly nebulous about Clu's role in the movie. Despite Mana's vociferous declarations, I'm not 100% sold that he's "the villain." (Though he could be, or he could be at first and then turn halfway through, etc. There's only so many ways this could go.)

The point is, I don't want to know. I like how Clu and I are nebulous frenemies! I want us to stay this way forever. :-*

I haven't seen Tron, but I'm very appreciative of how the effects retain the charm of 80's style visuals while still looking cutting edge.  I'd really love to learn more about the method behind the design.  Its so good that I don't really care if the plot itself is just Hero's Journey meets cyber-space. if you're a big budget sci-fi movie with style I will watch you.  It's the reason I didn't feel ripped off by the Matrix sequels, for instance (while still thinking they could have been so much more...).

TBH, I'm glad they didn't.  Aesthetically, Tron Legacy looks way more pleasing than Tron 2.0 did.

the thing that strikes me about the trailer is that it looks like what we remember the first one looking like. i.e. awesome!

The way that worked was that they wanted to do a movie sequel first. Eisner said Tron was stupid, so they took the sequel idea to the games division.

ManaByte, I hate to pile on, but please, please, please, pleae consider that not every person wants to know everything about every movie before it comes out. Let us just ooh and ahh at the official trailer images without having script leaks shoved down our throats. Please.

Our love of TRON should unite us, not divide us!

I'm sure who the baddie is, is not a major spoiler. The trailer that's out doesn't really confirm it one way or another but I assume the bad guy would be a major part of the marketing campaign.  It's sort of like if Manabyte were spoiling that Megatron will be the bad guy in Transformers 3.

The ComicCon teaser made it pretty clear that Clu is going to be the main villain.

LOTS of cool details from the movie via the producers on the set back in June:
spoiler (click to show/hide)
- The digital Tron world is a creation of Flynn and is hosted on private 1989 servers, not connected to the internet.

- The producers described this digital world as the computer equivalent of the Galapagos Islands. The digital world has evolved on its own, with no outside influence since Flynn built it.

- The world is darker than the previous, with an obvious BLADE RUNNER influence, apt because the designer of Ridley Scott’s futurist world was Syd Mead who also designed much of the original TRON world.

- Syd Mead came in for a day to give his thoughts on what the design team has churned out thus far.

- There’s a stadium where games are played this time out, presided over by Clu.

- When talking to the producers they said they went into this sequel (which holds the record for most time passed between an original film and its sequel, with returning cast, we were told) with the mindset that there were 4 things they owed the fans: Lit suits, Jeff Bridges, light cycles and a feeling that this movie is something new just as the original was something no one had seen before.

- They made mention that Flynn and Clu square off at some point in the movie. I. Can’t. Wait. The Dude vs. Starman? Brilliant.

- Director Joseph Kosinski is a first time feature director, but you know his work from the GEARS OF WAR Mad World commercial and that great HALO 3 Starry Night commercial. He’s a graduate of Columbia with a degree in architecture, so the visual look of the film is extremely important to him.

- TRON: LEGACY is NOT a mo-cap production. They’re shooting 64 or 65 days with real sets. Obviously blue-screen plays a large role to help create the digital world of Tron, but a lot of real sets are not only built, but used throughout the film.

- Kosinski plans to vary up his shooting techniques throughout the production in order to never tip his hand on how the world is being presented to the audience. There will be motion capture for some scenes (lightcycles) and characters (but with the real actor’s faces filmed and put onto the CG character), but totally in-camera segments for others. Sometimes he’ll mix and match depending on what’s best for the scene.

- There is some exploration of the religious undertones of the original, ie The Users. This time I’m guessing Flynn himself is a deity since he is the creator of this world and inhabits it.

- Bit will not make an appearance, which makes me sad. No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no.

- The name of the company that created the shipping containers that Sam lives in at the beginning of the story is DUMONT (at least in the production art). Nice nod, eh?

- There will be new disk game played, but we weren’t told what they’d be. We did see some artwork from an arena which was just four hallways intersecting at a circular chamber.

- There’s a new Solar Sailor, which looks pretty much like the original, but with a purple color scheme and a thicker middle to hold more programs.

- Look for a vehicle called the Light Runner, a low-riding car built for speed, but that turns into a dune buggy type vehicle when off-road. It’s not a drastic change or a morphing thing… essentially the cab sits up a little higher and the wheels sprout ridges like a kleet.

- Another new vehicle was called Clu’s Throne Ship, dark black ship with Clu’s dark orange light scheme… think the basic shape of Luke’s landspeeder, but much larger and as an enclosed ship with glass ceilings. Also there was a little hammerhead-like shape instead of a rounded or pointed front. There was some beautiful artwork of Clu lounging on an obsidian throne in the ship, the world of TRON seen through the large windows above.

- The world of Tron is one big city and the more you get out of the city center you lose definition and symmetry, eventually falling off into the Sea of Simulation according to the production designer, Darren Gilford.

- Gilford also said there are a lot of soft-cornered hexagons built into the architecture of the world.

- There will be an interim lightcycle, bridging the first movie to the second. The riders are exposed in the 2010 Tron universe, something Steven Lisberger tried to do with the original, but the technology wasn’t there, so they had to dome it, apparently that dome being one of the most complicated effects for the computers to pull off back in the day. So between the old lightcycles and the new, rider-exposed cycles there is one that Flynn rides that is an amalgam of the two, with the newer design and look, but the dome of the original.

- The Recognizors are back and they have a loading system where programs can enter the “feet,” a sort of elevator-like enclosure, that takes them to the bridge. Other than a little more texture and definition they seem relatively unchanged.

They handed out Flynn Lives T-shirts and posters, as well as Space Paranoids pin's. I'll post pictures later of the stuff.

The event was great, albeit hella freaking cold. Alan Bradley and his now wife from the first tron were there as well as Sam Flynn. He jumped out a Encom helocopter but due to the wind they were unable to continue with the event. It was cut a bit short but it was awesome.

Quote
“Tron Legacy” isn’t due until December, but Disney already is putting a sequel on its monorail track.

Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, the “Lost” writers/executive producers who worked on “Legacy,” have begun writing a sequel to the studio’s sci-fi tentpole.

No details have been released because it is so early in the process. Notwithstanding the question of whether the movie will be a hit, other topics to ponder are whether the sequel will focus on spinoff characters or center on a new adventure set in the “Tron” world. Insiders have suggested that Kitsis and Horowitz are working on a way to round the story into a trilogy.


Edward Kitsis, left, and Adam Horowitz   
No deals have been made with “Legacy” director Joseph Kosinski or cast members to return, though options were placed in the original deals, and Disney surely would hope to reunite all the elements if “Legacy” proves to be a hit. Also needing to be figured out is who would produce a sequel. Sean Bailey, a producer on “Legacy,” is now Disney’s president of production.

Still, with Bailey as production head and WME-repped Kitsis and Horowitz writing more “Tron,” Disney seems to be believe in what they have.

Apparently David Fincher is helping out the director. He worked on a bunch of Fincher's stuff before and they're friends. He showed Fincher a rough cut and Fincher sent him a letter with some suggestions and tips. Fincher also got them the same effects people from Benjamin Button in order to make Jeff Bridges young.

Yeah the director of this was one of Fincher's proteges. Also am I the only one much more interested in seeing what the director of this does with The Black Hole remake more than Tron 2? The Black Hole was such a childhood little nostalgic favorite of mine, much more so than Tron. Is the director still even attached to that though?

Part of the reason why early Star Wars movies worked (basically all of the 70's new hollywood guys had their fingers all over the original Star Wars from Brian De Palma to John Millius) and the later ones didn't. Same reason why post LOTR Peter Jackson movies have been overly bloated and boring.

Having your film peers help out on movies is usually a good thing.

Why even do that? I mean he created the whole Tron world, so it would take one line of dialogue to say he made the avatar thing look like he does now and get rid of these creepy nonsense.

Hell if they just had his Tron character look like he does now without even saying anything I doubt anyone would really even bat an an eye.

Quote
In late 1979, Walt Disney Productions released The Black Hole, a science-fiction film that was the studio's first production to receive a PG rating (the company, however, had already distributed its first PG-rated film, Take Down—without the Disney name visible—almost a year before the release of The Black Hole.) Over the next few years, Disney experimented with more PG-rated fare, such as the 1981 film Condorman; 1982's Tron and Tex; and 1983's Never Cry Wolf and Trenchcoat. The latter film attracted major criticism for including adult themes that were considered inappropriate for a Disney film.[3] The controversy over Trenchcoat is generally considered the catalyst that later sparked the creation of the Touchstone Pictures brand.
Started by then-Disney CEO Ron W. Miller in 1984, Touchstone's first film was Splash, a huge hit for Walt Disney Productions, grossing $68 million at the domestic boxoffice.[4] Splash included brief rear nudity on the part of star Daryl Hannah and occasional inappropriate language, earning a PG-rating. Because of its success, yet another Disney film label was started in 1990, Hollywood Pictures, with the release of Arachnophobia.
Following the success of the Disney-branded PG-13 rated Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl in 2003, and other films that in the 1980s and '90s would have been assigned to the Touchstone (or Hollywood Pictures) label, Disney has decided to weigh distribution of films more toward Disney-branded films and away from Touchstone films, though not entirely disbanding them as it is still using the Touchstone label for R and most PG-13 rated fare.[5]

It would have to be on the 3D screen since it's a 3D only preview.

Disney is showing an extended version of the Comic Con footage at DCA every Friday-Sunday in the MuppetVision 3D theater starting at 6:00pm every night. During Thanksgiving and Christmas week it'll be every night.

It's the same footage from Comic Con, but they added what looks like a near-final young Jeff Bridges that's less uncanny valley.

I'm addicted to TRON toys.

I was lucky enough to have a red lightcycle and Sark, Warrior, Tron and Flynn growing up.  I didn't realize how rare they were until in HS I went up to Comic Book Guy and asked him.

Comic Book Guy said "I'm sorry but you must be mistaken.  They never made Tron toys, they don't exist."  The look on Comic Book Guy's face when I brought in my toys the next day was priceless (actually I just had him look them up in his guide, he really wanted to see them after finding out they existed though.)

Anyway, a full set is going for a nice chunk of change on ebay, so I decided to augment my collection.

Grabbed a Tron red lightcycle 20th anniversary with new Sark for like $22 shipped on Amazon, with great packaging.  It's really beautiful :)

Also been getting the die-cast Series 1 pieces from the movie.  Got just a couple left to grab, they are actually pretty nice pieces for $4.

Tron BluRay release scrapped until long after Tron: Legacy leaves theaters.
http://blueskydisney.blogspot.com/2010/10/tron-blu-s.html
Quote
Earlier this year, Steven Lisberger, the Father of Tron, mentioned that a new high definition remaster of Tron was currently in the works to be released by the end of the year to coincide with Disney's theatrical release of Tron Legacy. Since then there has oddly been no official announcement and with just over 8 weeks to go no pre-release date in sight it's beginning to look like Tron will be MIA on blu-ray this year.

Word has it that earlier this summer the original Tron was screened at one of the theme parks and was laughed at by people who had not seen the original film and mocked it for its now-outdated effects and silly attire of leotards and hockey helmets parodied by the infamous "Tron Guy." Rumor has it that some Disney execs witnessed their reactions and it made them very, very nervous.

Understandable since they've spent millions marketing their "new and improved" Tron Legacy which they hope will be embraced by a new generation of fans. Since then plans to release the original Tron on blu-ray to generate interest in the sequel seem to have been scrapped out of fear that this product of a by-gone era would backfire and turn off their vital demographic from flocking to theaters to see Tron Legacy in December.

Word has it the original Tron will not be released now until sometime next year around the time Legacy is released on DVD and Blu-ray, long after all the box office grosses for Legacy are in. Normally, studios will strategically time the release of catalog DVD and Blu-ray sales to generate hype for a franchise installment and reciprocally to give home video sales a push but this seems to mark the beginning of what could become a counter-trend for studios looking to capture a new fanbase without any expectations or preconceptions.

Could the same fear and paranoia apply to Disney's marketing plans for their eminent remake of The Black Hole? As a fan of both of these classic Disney films I am disappointed that I will not be able to enjoy seeing Tron remastered in glorious high definition before going to see Legacy but I am deeply concerned by how this could impact reception of it my millions of people who have not even seen the original film and how they could potentially regard Legacy as the defacto Tron film and shrug off the original 28 year-old film as a relic of the Atari age.

Tron was cutting-edge for its day and decades ahead of its time but like all films in retrospect is a product of the period in which it was made and should be appreciated as such for what it is and its rightful place in cinematic history. Is Disney deliberately trying to sweep memories of it under the rug to be forgotten so that Legacy will be received as the definitive start of a new franchise? The very thought of it gives me pause and sends a shudder of discomfort up my spine. It almost seems like they are trying to re-write the program.

End of Line.

Arnie didn't look too bad in Salvation, since he didn't talk. I think it was more ridiculous seeing his face in a film again.

But I agree, Bridges face looks like Kevin Bacon in The Hollow Man.

This year's most overhyped EB movie.


Just saw the original Tron...it sucked, it was like an 8 years old computer nerd wet dream, I have no idea how a generation that grew up on the internet its gonna respond to this story, the only interesting thing about legacy are the visuals tbh.

Not excited at all for this movie.

Banning me wont suddenly make the movie good or anything.

Asking another director for help? that sure is a good sign

Okay first things first

This is going to bomb so fucking hard.  They had a ton of shit set up.  Posters, huge lines.  a 400 seat IMAX theater.  Like literally, 20, 30 people tops showed.  All obvious huge ass nerds (myself and wife included).

Seconds things second

THE 20 MINUTES WERE FUCKING AWESOME!!  I expected it to be a huge 3D showcase with an obvious amount of shit flying at the screen.  Nope.  But the 3D effects were fucking awesome.  When they shatter it looks insane.  And the tone of the movie seems inline with the original still.  Just with more style.  Still going to bomb fucking hard.  I talked to some of the concession people and they were surprised that no one showed up and I asked them "Seen the original?"  "Nope"  "nerdy as hell."  But they at least seemed interested from the style alone but I think in the end WOM will kill it because of how goddamn nerdy it is.  I'm super fucking excited now.  It was exactly what I was hoping for.

/agree with Mups on all counts

We had a huge IMAX theater that was only 1/3 to 1/2 full. Lots of leftover posters and postcards at the end. There was NO standby line, the theater was just empty. Whoever set this up should be fired.

It was awesome, but still pretty cheesy at times, much like the original. Set design was amazing. CG is overall very good. Soundtrack is sublime; Daft Punk should quit their day jobs and do this full time. They don't show much of digiClu.

The writers held a trivia contest, I won a baseball cap that has light up blue neon around the edge (Tron style!) and the movie logo. The question was "what was the first thing they digitized in Tron," pretty easy.

Still, between this and Scott Pilgrim, Comicon buzz is turning out to be a completely devalued currency. $65 million total domestic, 2/3 of that in the first weekend.

The only thing they showed of young jeff bridges in the preview was the part from the trailer where he says "your move, flynn" or whatever.  The end of it was basically the trailer much like the 6 minute preview of the dark knight on the batman begins blu ray.  But I was really hoping we'd see him speak to see if they cleaned that up at all.

Word, brotha. Nobody's gonna see this movie anyways, so it doesn't matter. I don't you think you people understand they're filming a sequel to Tron. FUCKING TRON. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

The last movie BOMBED, and they're making a big-budget sequel, knowing full well it will BOMB again.

Cheebs, shut your dirty whore mouth. This is one of the very few things the world has spawned that directly targets me as a benefactor, so don't shit my happiness up with your "logic" and "constructive criticism". It's a fucking SEQUEL to TRON. Out of 1000 people, I guarantee you maybe 10 even know what the fuck it is, and 5 of that 10 have actually seen it. AND THEY'RE MAKING A SEQUEL.

Tron has been referenced constantly since it came out. I felt like I already saw it long before I actually did because of all the pop culture references. Tron guy, light cycle parodies etc.

The Black Hole is pretty much a standard 70's scifi movie: one part pseudo-science, two parts hokeyness. But the ending is amazing.

It's poorly written, and he does an excellent job of making himself sound like the stereotypical douchebag hipster people like to identify P4K with, but I don't exactly disagree with his key gripes.

It's not a bad score by any means, but it's unexpectedly pedestrian.  It's almost like their emulated version of what a film score is supposed to sound like.  Maybe that's my inflated expectations.

My expectations are kinda stupid though.  This is coming from someone who has a framed print of this hanging in his living room:

What did you think of Human After All?

HAA is obviously just sort of a skeletal framework for their live stuff, as shown by the vastly superior mixes on Alive 2007, so it's difficult to listen to now without that in mind, but I had a better impression of it when it came out than a lot of people did, I think.  IIRC, it was not well received.

I'll reserve judgement until I actually get to listen to it myself, but really all the complaints I've seen line up with the standard features of a film soundtrack. It's not a studio album and it isn't supposed to sound like one. It's pretty clear from what I've heard so far that this isn't a new Daft Punk album, it's a film score that was done by Daft Punk.
Title: Re: TRON THREAD OMG - New Daft Punk video (Tron Joust!) [OMFG]
Post by: CajoleJuice on December 10, 2010, 03:52:11 PM
Yeah, I just don't get what the fuck people were expecting. Even Robo admits expecting too much.

I didn't know who the fuck Daft Punk was until a couple of years ago and even now, the only material of theirs that I'll listen to is Alive 2007 (and now this soundtrack), so I'm definitely in a huge minority.

It's a film score, and one of the best this year by far.  Granted I don't know much about the genre, but it sounds like it takes the best elements of film scoring, Justice's Cross, and past elements of Daft Punk and combines it into a very tight, succinct experience.

Divorcing a score from the movie and then picking it apart is a pretty dumb thing to do. It's a movie score, it's meant to be played in conjunction with certain images and sound effects. That's doesn't necessarily mean that some film scores aren't good for listening on their own, but it isn't the point. All that ultimately matters is whether it works in the movie or not.

Movie was pretty cheese, but that's Tron, and I loved it. The soundtrack has some bangers that I'll be listening to for a while but on the whole it was a bit downplayed, definitely should've had more bangers. Downloading the soundtrack now to give it a proper listen. I thought the more serious themes it dealt with were dealt with pretty badly (classic hollywood cheese) but I was watching Tron not Battlestar Gallactica, I was there for Daft Punk and future battles with motorbikes and aerobies of death.

I guess it hasn't released in Russia yet? Theres no shitty film rips out, I wanna watch it again.

The "charm" from the first is gone.  I'm able to look past a lot of the faults with the original because it's so damn charming in its own weird way.  This one is a bit more serious so it loses it

However, awesome fucking movie.  It stayed nerdy enough to be true to the Tron fans, but it updated itself enough to be relevant to todays moviegoers. 

I loved it.

it doesn't even have good eye candy (the cg jeff bridges is the new spawn) or music (daft punk as brought to you by harry gregson-william's quaalude-addled apprentices). it is a shit movie. it starts out with mountain dew, throws us a red herring with the encom staff, goes into space capoeira scenes that could only appeal to the sentai fancrowd, tosses in some pod racing, a couple utterly predictable reveals and plot twists, a pixie-haired hollywood moeblob, some hammy tard doing his most mediocre impersonation of a neon-lit malcolm mcdowell, and ends with a poster shot and the adorapixie sniffing tony hawk's hair.

there is not a single moment unsullied by cliches and terrible acting, or by a camera shot that didn't scream "brought to you by l'oreal" or "zoom zoom." it is the most agonizingly predictable 2 hours i have ever spent in recent memory, without a single redeeming or engaging moment. even the art direction was sterile and unambitious. i enjoyed eagle eye more, because its byzantine and distinguished mentally-challenged plot TAUNTED me with its awfulness, which is still more engaging than what we got with this abortion. tvc ate a handful of seroquel and slept through most of the movie, which means he was the REAL winner of this escapade.

Yeah, I'd agree with that. But I also think that if you're going into Tron Legacy expecting great writing and dialog...well...I'd probably wonder where you got that idea from. In a lot of ways, Tron Legacy is a lot like Transformers. It's a comparison I hate to make because I loathe Transformers with a passion, but they're both nostalgia beasts resurrecting the innocence of youth and blah blah blah. A lot of people are going to hate this movie [as this thread makes clear] and a lot of people are just going to absolutely love this movie [as this thread has also made clear], there's not going to be any inbetween. The movie just is what it is and there's no sense in trying to argue its merits either way. People that love it, love it warts and all. People that hate it, hate it good points and all.

If you watch the previews and like what you see or if you liked the original Tron, chances are pretty good that you'll like this too. If you didn't or don't, save your money until next week and go see True Grit.

Oh, and Garrett Hedlum is probably a better actor than Sam Worthington at least.  :lol

Sorry, haven't seen Million Dollar Baby.

So why did they fill the movie with so much boring plot and talking heads?  It certainly could have been a good audio/visual flick.

In my opinion it was. Even the talking head scenes looked pretty good, for what they were.

pretty good ... for COMMERCIALS. seriously, when this director wanted talking heads, he LITERALLY gave us talking heads, close-up and left of center. check out the foundation on tony hawk! how much mascara can you get on one digi-chick's face?

I didn't even notice that, to be honest.

The CG The Dude bugged me, but I guess I would've been okay with it just in the Grid...but them CG'ing the REAL Flynn at the beginning bothered me.

Best scene was by far the Zeus club scene.

I didn't really follow any of the hype, but wasn't perfect.  I could've gone without the trite "horror" moments, as if it's impossible to do psychological deterioration without a moronic jump scare of a bloody child in a nightgown.  And the rivalry between the two leads never really fully materialized; in part because it's too predictable.  The finale was fucking incredible, though.  Having just seen it not even an hour ago, and the ending being what it was, it's difficult to consider how I feel about it as a whole at the moment.

Just watched the movie and I'm really confused because I'm really not sure what was so bad about it.  The audio/visual side was obviously impressive but the story wasn't offensive or full of holes as far as I could see.  It wasn't anything ambitious, but it wasn't full of filler and horrible exposition like Avatar for example.  I went into this not knowing anything about the first movie other then that it involved going into a computer somehow but maybe it's a lot different than that and fails to live up to expectations somehow?

The original Tron was a bit more cheesy, adventurous, and simplistic [in story and themes], but it was still basically just a guy getting sucked into a computer and being chased by/ultimately defeating a bunch of evil programs.

Yeah the second half of this movie sort of made me roll my eyes, even the music became all somber and generic movie score like. Everything else about it pre-digital genocide was fantastic though. Shit, it would have been awesome if it went all noir like and Flynn's son explored the digital realm. Also, movie was worth it for an autistic Olivia Wilde  :-[

The only possible reason I can see for making a Tron sequel is to use it as a vehicle for making a bunch of surreptitious sly computer science and CG in-jokes and references. Like, slip in recreations of images from a bunch of classic 80s SIGGRAPH papers or something. Is there anything like that?

There were a lot of things that weren't really explained about the isomorphs though.  Like why are they "perfect"?  Why would they be able to change humanity?  Is it just that they give humanity a chance to see some new being formed and understand it's creation and whatnot?  I think the writers genuinely forgot about all that.

And I don't really get what would happen when Clu takes the army out of the program.  Would they still have their armor or weapons or anything?  I'd imagine they would have regular human bodies which makes feeding them and providing shelter and all that a bit of a challenge for an army of that size.  Maybe they'd just cause a boom in hobo statistics?  Another thing I think the writers probably forgot to handle.

Neither thing really hurts it though since the story is not really what you watch it for.

Well, presumably the same thing happened to Tron that was being done to all the other programs [i.e. marching them off to some kind of brainwashing facility that turns them into mindless drones]. Meeting Flynn again face-to-face jarred something loose and he was able to fight back against the brainwashing, eventually turning back to his original blue as he slowly drowns.

I was contacted by someone that worked on the shoot for this DVD Extra.   That this person's experience on set gave him, it will be made up of at least 3 scenes.

One includes Bruce Boxleitner (as Alan) and Dan Shor (as Ram).   Turns out that "Ram" was apparently running the FLYNN LIVES campaign and he's frantically destroying all of that data and files, as Alan confronts him.   Dan apparently utters the line, "Why did Kevin give you the cool name" - which means to my way of thinking that after Flynn came out of the Grid, he sought out the human soul of Ram and befriended him and started calling him RAM - you know - some geek that wrote that Actuarial Program that helped people plan for the future.   I sorta love that.   And love that the kindness Flynn showed this lowly geek, apparently created a gung ho champion for the life and memory of Kevin Flynn.   

Another has Quora showing up to ENCOM and getting acousted by the press because she's riding Sam's Ducati - and states that she just spoke with Kevin Flynn, yesterday!   

The last scene that was shot in this mini-shoot involved text screens where you see the Father & Son...  The Dillingers stating that everything is going as planned.   

That particular bit has me giddy beyond fucking words.

SEQUEL!

Just for the record, Cars, Cinderella, Peter Pan, Aladdin etc etc all got sequels too. DID ANYONE GIVE A SHIT?
Toy Story is about the only Disney movie that has had sequels at the box office.

Pirates of the Caribbean?

Herbie the Love Bug

Tron
The ownage... :rofl

Tron 3 teaser stuff (spoilers for Tron Legacy)

I really hope all this shit is a giant joke on Apple fans and Steve Jobs.

Also, Tron Legacy wasn't very good.  Yes.

If Tron 3 starring Jared Leto directed by... some guy... doesn't have "That's a big door," it's non-canon horseshit as far as I'm concerned.

Also, OK, hear me out: we got the "complete edition" of Daft Punk's score last month... Why not a special edition of the movie where the ONLY change is that it uses modern deepfake tech to fix CLU2? (And Flynn in the first scene dunno wtf they were thinking trying the de-aging there...) :idont

I don't disagree with that sentiment. It's the funniest summary of the movie I've seen though. And it's the first thing I've ever read from this poster (who seems to have vanished. And the last thing they discussed was Too Human  :doge)

edit: Still looks really cool though. Have that movie running in the background on a projector at some house party.  :delicious

Tron Legacy was a real nice movie

it wasn't deep and thought-provoking, it didn't have to be, but I wouldn't classify it as "just a popcorn movie"

it's all about the aesthetic, the visuals, music and tone



honestly it's very much like the experience of playing Rez, which is a completely mediocre game, but you play it for the full audiovisual experience

With Daft Punk split up and the pandemic going on the Legacy sequel project is probably dead as a dodo

They denied us a second Daft Punk soundtrack and a lead role for Olivia Wilde  :'(

I sorta like the uncanny valley of the original Clu, but maybe it would be better if it was more realistic so the "I'm not your father" reveal is a bit more of a reveal. Might make the film better for people watching the film a few decades in the future.

I didn't have too much of a problem with how Clu looked because it kinda made sense with him in the virtual world. But the flashback scene with young Flynn was pretty bad when they showed his face.
