Tron Legacy

[Webhead2006]

lol funny when it was disney that made the first one.

[SonikDeath]

Everything ive seen of this is awesome, my most anticipated movie of 2010 by far. :D

[Nivek]

Any trailer news? Kind of figured it would be attached to Avatar.

[dark_b]

Avatar is the biggest 3D movie from 2009 to december 2010. i think it would be smart to realese it with avatar. maybe it will be delayed to Alice to make more effects.

[Vengeance]

Nice game trailer :D

[Webhead2006]

there is rumor/article over at slash film i saw last night saying there is a chance that we will be getting a new trailer with avator.

Tron: Legacy Trailer Coming With Avatar?

http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Tron-Legacy-Trailer-Coming-With-Avatar-16116.html

[Webhead2006]

nice for another confirmation, i hope we get some good actual footage from the film this time. Since the comic con thing was just a test thing.

[echostation]

I hope the trailer comes with Avatar, I think the main struggle will be to differentiate the blue colors and probing blue fluorescent lighting from the colors of Avatar. I hope pepole do not piotr get confused this filmw ith other film Avatar

What saying I am is that I hope when people watch trailer for Tron 2, they will see bright flashy blue colors, I hope they do not confuse this with when they are watching the film Avatar which also features lots of glowing molten blue colors. That distinction HAS to be made otherwise pepole will mistakenly think they are watching Tron 2 and not avatar or vice versa and feel cheated, thus both movies have a strong chance of bombing.

[Octoberist]

Good Lord Echostation, I tried to make sense out of what you're saying.but it's not clicking. I get the jist of it, but your theory is so out there.

[SonikDeath]

I tried to read that, but got confused and tired.

[Brian Braddock]

I think Echostations saying that he fears people wont be able to tell the difference between Avatar and Tron (?)

I personally dont share that fear. I mean, c'mon, theyr'e like chalk and cheese. One is easily discernable from the other.

[dark_b]

just the color blue is the same. one color.

[AnorexicBatman]

One is about becoming one with natural world the other is about becoming one with the cyber world.

[Brian Braddock]

Ones out now and the other ones not out till next December.

:D

[AnorexicBatman]

One stars a robot who was once a man (Terminator), the other stars a man who becomes a robot (Iron Man)

[Brian Braddock]

Ones called Avatar and ones called Tron Legacy?

;)

[Webhead2006]

lol yea i think any one will be able to tell between the two. only thing in common is they are both going to be 3D films and cgi crazy films.

[Brian Braddock]

Is it wrong that I'm actually looking forward to seeing Tron Legacy a helluva lot more than Avatar?

Even though I know it's such a big deal, a part of me is meh about Avatar.

But a sequel to Tron?....................I mean, c'mon.

It's friggin' Tron!!!!!!!

It doesnt get much cooler than that.

[dark_b]

[QUOTE=Brian Braddock;17838693]Is it wrong that I'm actually looking forward to seeing Tron Legacy a helluva lot more than Avatar?

/QUOTE]why would it be wrong :huh:

the two movies look completely different. one is set on a jungle like planet. and the other one is in a futuristic cyber world .

of course some will like tron better then avatar.

[Webhead2006]

i actually want to see both myself.

There's your answer, DB. ^^^^

Avatar's seemingly being hyped by some as the movie thats going to revolutionise the why we look at movies from now on; people seem to have put it on this really high pedestal already - almost as if the movie is the 2nd coming or something, that all other movies are going to pale in comparison.

I'm finding that I've been pretty resistant to the hype so far; I'm gonna go see it this week at the local 3D IMAX, but I'm not going to raise my expentacy level so high that I inevitably set myself up for a fall and come out of the cinema dissapointed. At this stage, I'm not exaclty what you'd call giddy with excitement to see it.

Yet I am about Tron Legacy.

Already.

I think people are so excited about it because it's something fresh and new. If your content with sequels and remakes, that's all good for you. But don't scoff people looking forward to something, and using press quotes as opposed to what people and critics are actually saying.

Let me just say that I'm looking forward to Tron 2, but I hate this Vs. mentality, especially when Avatar isn't any kind of threat to this films success.

[That-Guy]

Wait, you mean that Tron and Avatar are two different movies? :huh:

Damn, it's a good thing that

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v142/that-guy/thefollowingpreview.jpg?t=1260906221

will come up before the Tron trailer or else I might get confused.

Or wait, maybe that message will come up before Avatar too, since there's a possibility that the film could just be an epic-long preview of a forthcoming trilogy? And since Tron will probably be a trilogy, then I guess both movies will have to converge at some point since all blue people are connected. When is the crossover with the Smurfs movie coming?

I can't wait for Tron: Avatars Go Smurfing.

With respect, you're seeing things that arent there. From way up on your high horse.

There's nothing in my post demonstrative of a 'vs mentality'. The 'vs' thing is normally when one posts a preference to something at the detriment to something else but you'll notice that I havent once bigged Tron up at the expense of Avatar. I simply stated that I'm looking forward to seeing Tron more. What's wrong with that?

In point of fact, I dont think I've even made 1 post to the detriment of Avatar. I'm going to see it at the weekend but I'll still be guarded from belieiving the hype as I dont want to get the bum's rush (that's what I meant by a part of me being 'meh' about it even though I know it's a big deal), and I dont think thats an entirely unreasonable point of view, to be honest. My being guarded certainly isnt 'scoffing' at the people who are looking forward to it.

[Nivek]

High Horse? Nope, just throwing out one of those opinion deals.

[Brian Braddock]

Yeah, with a distinct wiff of condescending superiority.

Or is ''If your content with sequels and remakes, that's all good for you'' in no way condescending?

[Webhead2006]

summer isnt it?

[echostation]

bright navy/fluorescent Blue and using the same fusion cameras as Avatar... :( it's begun

[TheComicbookKid]

No offense, Echo, but you're the only one that's going to confuse the two. And maybe a small child.

[Rocker22]

It's also actually a billboard in LA and AICN is saying it will change every month leading up to the movie.

@Dorky

This is the theme song they've come up with for the film:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZPiW8b1uEE

5ZPiW8b1uEE

I have this on my ipod and I listen to it all the time, along with a couple cool remixes of it I also found on youtube. There's a couple other songs on youtube called "The Distance" and "Fragile" as well that people are saying are from the soundtrack, but I don't know if that's been confirmed.

I too will be very much anticipating this film and it's soundtrack!


And for what it's worth, the music and visuals of this film have very much been inspiring a new take on Superman in my mind... not as radically different as it would seem these things would inspire, but definitely a new flavor of the classic character. Not the thread to discuss it, but I just wanted to mention that this music has become my new creative thinking music :awesome: !

[terry78]

Robot rock.

[Webhead2006]

sounds ok

[Mace Dolex]

Dec 2010?! I thoght it was coming out in February?

thanks for that! i agree with Webhead, it sounds just 'ok'. hopefully the rest of the score will be better, especially during the action scenes. i looked up 'Fragile' and 'the Distance' too. 'Fragile' sounds like DP's style, but there's no way 'the Distance' is DP's doing, hehe.

that's cool man...we all gotta find inspiration from somewhere!

[dark_b]

wouldnt we know by now if the trailer was with Avatar?

they are not that stupid to realese the 3D trailer only in US?

[craigdbfan]

Well wasn't the original one distributed in the US only? Although I'm sure once it hit home video/DVD others became aware of it.

But I don't think Tron really has that big of an international audience.

whait a minute. you think Tron should be only for the US? or do you think that they shouldnt focus their marketing on europe,....?

[craigdbfan]

Of course not.

They should completely market this Tron to all markets. This has good appeal for both domestic and international (I'm including Europe).

What I'm trying to say is that they might just debut the trailer domestically because the original film was only released in the US. Right after this they would show the same or the international version of the trailer to other countries.

Maybe it won't show with Avatar at all (which is likely IMO).

[Monsieur Xavier]

Hi, Tron was released in France, I can't tell for sure because I didn't saw it in theater at the time. Check IMDB, Tron was released internationally. It was a Disney movie and I don't think Disney have ever done a US only release but I would be wrong.

[craigdbfan]

^Guess it was. Just checked IMDB.

[echostation]

At least the music is different from Avatar's music so I guess that's a good choice and pickings of the trade.

I still think the trade will somehow try to emphasize how the prequel bombed and try to run this film down.. I hope they don't but I just have this vibe they might try to do it

[gwynplaine]

Saw the first billboard today. Can't wait.

Thats NOT the Daft Punk version, thats some cover version by someone.
Nobody has got the original yet!!
You can hear bits of the original by looking at the Flynn's arcade videos light cycle reveal on youtube.

You can guarantee though, the soundtrack is going to blow everything else out of the water when it comes out.

[matrix_ghost]

I wonder how Disney will market this movie. Personally i would loved it is Disney had decided to attach the Proof-Of-Concept trailer with all 3-d prints of Avatar ( domestic and foreign). Like the Inception trailer it's definately something that IMO instantly grabs your attention

[Sentinel X]

Disney can easily make a great viral marketing campaign for this film.

[Brian Braddock]

???

The original movie has become such a cult hit and garnered such a following over the years that it's box office performance wont mean a jot to how this movie performs.

[Silver Knight]

What is all this about? Someone school me please.

[Webhead2006]

wait so there wasnt a trailer with avator 3d/2d version?

[That-Guy]

wait so there wasnt a trailer with avator 3d/2d version?

No, apparently they took echostation's advice to heart.

[MOVIELORD101]

I'm a HUGE Tron fan, and I'm very much looking forward to this movie. The Test Footage teaser from July was fantastic (I was the one who got Comingsoon.net the scoop), and that new poster might be a good one to hunt down later on.

[bapi]

So no new trailer w/ Avatar...

Disappointing news. The trailer for Tron is actually that of the video game that was released a few days ago to be put before the trailers of Avatar. At least, that's how it is here in Birmingham.

[echostation]

What did I TELL YOU... Seriously, I told you from the get go, at least they used the video game because the graphical components of that will be different from the onscreen visions we see on silver screen of actual humans so that is big difference. People will see Oh Yes this is video game trailer as they will say Xbox or Playable Stations based video games and will see that there are no humans in the trailer where Avatar does... so that's a good thing.

I knew you guys wanted to see the new Tron 2 trailer, so did I, but ON A DIFFERENT film, It should be on Sherlock Holmes or another film, but not Avatar... seriously I'm glad they pulled the idea of putting on a new trailer for the film and just thought alike and they did good job and plan with saying wait, we should market this with a totally different film, no confusion, no hassle, no SHINY BLUE, NO MESS = BOX OFFICE SUCCESS... you can take that rhyming scheme to the bank... hoodim

Yeah, I saw it in France when I was a kid and I loved it.

[Webhead2006]

well when ever the trailer comes i cant wait to see what they give us this time. The test footage was pretty sick.

[Silver Knight]

Can someone tell me what this is all about?

[corby]

Can someone tell me what this is all about?
This is a sequel to the classic 80s film Tron (if you haven't seen this movie than either rent it or read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tron_%28film%29)

In Tron Legacy, the main character from Tron has been missing for several years. The main character's son discovers that his father has been inside the computer world for several years. He then travels into the computer world.

any other questions?:yay:

[Silver Knight]

Sounds intresting, so who are the bad guys etc.

[corby]

Unfortunately no one knows yet. They might have a villain from the original film return or the protagonist from the first film might be the villain. It appears the villain in the game is a computer virus, so they might go that route.

[Webhead2006]

i thought the foe is going to be an evil flynn copy?

[corby]

Could be. I don't think anything has been confirmed. Both Flynns looked a litle sinister to me in the teaser.

[echostation]

What did I TELL YOU... Seriously, I told you from the get go, that Avatar is now hit, pepol ewill be troubled with Tron... Pioples that is, really.

Now that one BLUE filmed character movie is a success, the question on everybody's mind like the Sun's, Fox News, Media Coverage News Press Corps and the Associated Press are all curious to see how the next big budget BLUE film will do.

Will people forget Avatar in one year only to remember it to be confused with this film??? It's really challenging now for Tron 2 because people will think this is trying to rip off avatar, same color scheme, they are scheming with the same color scheme, by hoodim ilahabadi, how in kashti's name will they try to focus on making successful sequel to GIGANTIC BOMB of an old 1983 prequel film that no one remembers.

Huge cult following? How so?>>> When Avatar HAS FAR GREATER SHADES OF BLUE and NAVY BLUE than any character in Tron? The question really becomes whether or not people will give this film a chance or call it very much a rip off due to it looking very much the same color wise to Cameron's little pet project.

Jeff Bridges can't attract big audience players, he is not box office opener, we ALL know that

But no, they hire Jeff Bridges? why? sentimintality? just cuz of first film. No basis.. and people will wonder wheather or not lead star is actually Sam Worthington... the confusion ENSUES... I hope they sort it out soon, what about making them Crimson or WHITe??

[Sawyer]

I stopped reading like three words in. :o

[Webhead2006]

ggsshh tron and avator are to different beasts.

[the a1ant]

I don't see any similarities between AVATAR and TRON at all.

[Deaths Head II]

I have a hard time believing echostation is being serious. Is he honestly saying people will confuse Avatar and Tron Legacy because they both have a lot of blue?

[Webhead2006]

yea tron is about a cyber computer world and avator is about 10ft tall blue aliens totally two different things;

[Hulk1968]

And don't forget about Smurfs - they're blue as well ;)

with a movie coming out next December too!!

Looks like a Blue Christmas next year!!

This post Blue :csad:

No news when Disney is going to release the 3D trailer?

[MOVIELORD101]

I'm betting we'll get our first actual trailer with either Alice in Wonderland, Toy Story 3, or The Sorcerer's Apprentice. What do you guys think?

[Electrofarce]

^I'm betting superbowl spot

[Webhead2006]

yea i would say sooner rather then later so superbowl, or alice is likely i doubt they would wait to toy story 3 which is what june i believe.

[xwolverine2]

there wont be a superbowl spot.. it wouldve been mentioned already..
those must be bought waaay ahead of time

[MOVIELORD101]

there wont be a superbowl spot.. it wouldve been mentioned already..
those must be bought waaay ahead of time

Agreed. Was going to say the same thing.:woot:

[Webhead2006]

yea then alice is more likely whens that due out?

[TheComicbookKid]

Do we get a new billboard/poster this month?

[Rocker22]

I would think so.

[matrix_ghost]

I'm betting we'll get our first actual trailer with either Alice in Wonderland, Toy Story 3, or The Sorcerer's Apprentice. What do you guys think?

It doesn't happen all the time but studios tend to attach their trailer to their own movies. So Disney movies get disney trailers etc.
Toy Story 3 might be a good candidate since it's going to be released in 3-d and there is a large audience for that movie. Many parents have seen or known about the first Tron movie. SInce Tron is also a 3-d release , Toy Story might be an excellent candidate.

On the other hand Tron is going to be released in december so technically Disney could start promoting this movie (late) summer and/or november.

[Webhead2006]

i would think they would do promos and marketing at least 6-8months prior to its release.

[wiegeabo]

Is it coming out this Christmas? Then I'd hope we'd at least be getting a teaser by spring break at the latest.

[Webhead2006]

yea its christmas 2010. So yea that is why i doubt we would see anything as late as nov lol. i could see as late as june with toy story 3 but if its sooner its likely then alice which is what spring right?

[craigdbfan]

edit

[matrix_ghost]

i would think they would do promos and marketing at least 6-8months prior to its release.


Should've rephraised that. Considering that Tron is opening on Christmas , Disney could opt to take a low key approach during the summer ( maybe a teaser trailer , more pics , poster) and once november arrives they go into high gear.

Either that or Disney may slowly start to promote the movie by first releasing a trailer with Alice In Wonderland , another trailer in the summer ( perhaps with another disney flick) and in october/november we get the theattrical trailer. Meanwhile between those periods we're constantly getting updated with new pics etc. Not saying that Disney would oversaturate ( like sony did with spider-man 3) but promoting the movie enough without spoiling too much.

Edit :
My guess is that DIsney will attach the theatrical trailer to Potter in November

[WarBlade]

My guess is that DIsney will attach the theatrical trailer to Potter in November
WTF? :huh:

Disney might try and contract various cinema chains to run Tron Legacy trailers on Potter, but I can't see them attaching anything much to Time Warner products themselves.

[TheVileOne]

I'm seeing lots of posters and images everywhere, but I mean, what's the deal? Why aren't they showing more? I get being secretive, but let's remember something.

Tron bombed in the 1980's. I mean it was quite revolutionary for the time and it developed a huge cult status, but I mean, it bombed. So . . . don't they want people to see this movie? They got to let people know what it's about. They can't buck on nostalgia this much.

[Webhead2006]

well we still have 11ish months left to go. They will probably have more posters every few months, at least 2-3 trailers within the next few months. Then tv spots come oct/nov and then interviews/press releases/etc.... media stuff by summer.

'Tron Legacy' Director Joseph Kosinski Raves About 3-D And Daft PunkKosinski lands a spot on our 10 to Watch in 2010 list because of his creative guts.

Joseph Kosinski deserves a spot on MTV News' 10 to Watch in 2010 list because of his sheer creative guts. For the director's feature-film debut, he's taking on one of the most venerated sci-fi flicks ever in "Tron," the 1982 Jeff Bridges-starring escapade about artificial intelligence, gaming and the boundaries of moviemaking technology. And for his sequel, "Tron Legacy," due in December, Kosinski is going big with a motion-capture 3-D adventure that picks up after the events of the first movie and seeks to pay homage to the original while utilizing the very latest digital tools Hollywood has to offer.

With principal photography on the film wrapped, the director is hard at work on the visual-effects work Disney is hoping will be unlike anything audiences have ever seen. In the midst of all of this work, Kosinski called MTV News to talk about his film's 3-D tech, the elements from the first film we're sure to see in the sequel and how Daft Punk were recruited to record the score.

MTV: Much of the work was done last year, but looking at 2010, does it feel like this is an important professional year for you?

Joseph Kosinski: I'm about two and a half years in on this, with about another year still to go. We still have a tremendous amount of work still to do, because there are a lot of visual effects on a movie like this, and we're also doing it in 3-D, which doubles up everything. Then sound design and tweaking the music. It's not the home stretch by any means.

MTV: How immersive is the 3-D? Is it start to finish, or does it pop up in key sequences?

Kosinski: Our approach is not like "Avatar," which I think is 3-D from the first shot to the last. Ours is sort of a "Wizard of Oz" approach. Ninety-eight percent of the 3-D is in the world of "Tron." The 3-D really starts once we get into the Tron world.

MTV: Is the technology you're using similar to what James Cameron used or what Robert Zemeckis has used?

Kosinski: It's a combination of technologies that Zemeckis has been using in terms of the completely digital motion-capture of a character and for the live-action camera system. We used a camera developed by James Cameron's company. We used a newer generation of camera than the one used on "Avatar." They built it specifically for us.

MTV: Will the finished film look pretty much like what we've seen in that test footage from Comic-Con?

Kosinski: I would say it's not far removed. The teaser, at least tonally, represented the direction I wanted to take it. That sequence actually doesn't appear in our film at all. It represents a period of time before our film begins. We were able to refine the design of the light cycles, the characters, the world and kind of flesh it out to a much higher level of detail than we were able to do for the test. What we're going to see in the film will feel a lot more photorealistic. They did that test with eight or 10 people in a matter of months. We have thousands of people working on the film. It's a whole different scale.

MTV: So the takeaway is that Jeff Bridges is playing at least two representations of himself, one that is a contemporary of the original character and one that is a younger version. How much of Jeff are we going to see?

Kosinski: Jeff is playing two characters. He's playing Kevin Flynn, the character from the original film, and he's playing Clu, the avatar that Kevin Flynn created in the 1980s. I'd say he's Clu 2. There was a Clu in the first film who looked like Jeff but was very simple in terms of his abilities. He's very stiff. Clu 2 is a second incarnation of Kevin's avatar. He doesn't only look like Jeff, but he can think like him too. So it's a whole new level of artificial intelligence.

MTV: What strikes me from the teaser and my visit to the set is that this is a dark film, an adult approach to the material. It's not a G-rated Disney film.

Kosinski: I don't know if I would say adult. There's nothing in the film that would keep kids from watching it. I think the aesthetic of the film is largely a reflection of my aesthetic and what I'm interested in. When you make a movie, you can only make the movie that you would want to see. For me, it was taking what I loved about the first film, which was the design elements that Syd Mead and Moebius [a.k.a. Jean Giraud] did, which I feel is timeless, and extrapolate it forward 28 years. We're saying in the world of the computer, it's been thousands of years and it has evolved.

MTV: Has there been a mandate in terms of rating?

Kosinski: While making the movie, we never did anything to serve a particular rating. We made the movie we wanted to make. I think Disney would be really happy with a PG rating. But I haven't had it reviewed by anyone. I imagine it will be PG or PG-13.

MTV: It's going to be released in IMAX, presumably. Did you shoot anything specifically for that format?

Kosinski: We did not shoot anything with an IMAX camera, because it uses film, and since we were shooting in 3-D, we used two digital cameras. That being said, we are doing an IMAX version. What I am considering doing now is finishing four or five sections of the film in a tall format — not letterbox — and in an IMAX theater, the black bars at the top and bottom of the frame will disappear and it will become a full-screen sequence, which should be really cool. I think IMAX will be the way to see this movie.

MTV: What were the hallmarks that you felt you needed to retain to satisfy the core audience who loved the original?

Kosinski: The focus was always to serve the story we are telling. To include Bruce Boxleitner is not at all a cameo or stunt casting. He is integral to the story we're trying to tell, which is why he's in it. We've taken the events of the first movie as historical facts. In our story, Kevin Flynn emerged from his first experience as CEO of ENCOM and actually released the Tron video game based on his experiences in the first movie. ENCOM has become the most innovative, most successful, most forward-thinking digital company in the world as of 1989. There are fun references to parts of the first film. Sam Flynn [Garrett Hedlund], in searching for his father, has to retrace his steps and comes upon clues and places that we visited in the first film, like Flynn's Arcade. Even in the world of Tron itself, a lot of vehicles and sequences have evolved. We'll get to see how the disc game has changed, how the light cycle battle has changed. We get to see the new version of these iconic sequences. Things have gotten bigger and a bit out of control.

MTV: Why'd you choose to go with Daft Punk for the soundtrack?

Kosinski: I'm a huge electronic-music fan. This is a film where there was a lot of interest from different electronic bands that I follow to work on the film. I felt it was important, just as the first film was so forward-thinking visually and Wendy Carlos' music was so innovative, I felt we had to do the same thing here. So rather than going with a traditional film composer, I wanted to try something fresh and different. I set up a meeting with Daft Punk. We met for pancakes at the 101 Coffee Shop in L.A. one morning. These guys take "Tron" very seriously. Obviously, "Tron" was a huge influence on them. It was almost like they were interviewing me to make sure that I was going to hold up to the "Tron" legacy. But the more we talked, we realized that creatively, we were totally synced up. I've been working on it with them for over a year and a half. I don't know of a movie where you're working on the soundtrack months before you start filming. The level of integration between the music and the film is incredibly strong.

MTV: Will it integrate any of the original themes?

Kosinski: There's a certain level of nostalgia with something like this, but we never want it to go to a level of campiness. So we've been very careful to make sure we're serving our story. If you hear any music from the original film, it will only be in the appropriate place.

MTV: I know it's early, but are you thinking of franchise possibilities?

Kosinski: Yeah. I think the world we've built here is big enough and has scale to support another story. As to whether that will happen, that depends on how the film is received when it comes out.

[dark_b]

do i think that its a good idea that the 3D will be when they are in the tron world? its an interesting approach.the problem is that i will pay a 3D ticket. so if the whole movie is not in 3D then why should i pay the whole 3D ticket?

it looks like this could be a problem.

[Crook]

You're paying for 3D tickets because that's exactly what you're getting. I don't think there's a specific mandate for how prevalent the tech is in the movie. But one would assume for a film like this, it'd be featured very prominently. No need to worry.

[terry78]

Yeah, it looks like from the tone he supposedly wants to roll with it'll be either a hard PG or like a light PG-13 like the National Treasure/POTC flicks. The Happy Meal toys for this are gonna look cool than a mother****er.

[dark_b]

everytime a director is saying that they didnt make the movie with the rating in mind he is 100% lying. not 90% but 100%.
the movie will have the exact rating that Disney demanded 1 day before filming started. so i dont understand why he just can not say the rating.

i am not expecting intense action scenes. but PG13 should be the standard with those expensive movies.

[Webhead2006]

nice interview cant wait to see more for the film.

[daywalker2007]

anybody have any more info on how Kevin Flynn gets sucked back into the computer world and why he is missing?

Is it something to do with artificial intelligence locking him in the computer world again?

[daywalker2007]

I'm seeing lots of posters and images everywhere, but I mean, what's the deal? Why aren't they showing more? I get being secretive, but let's remember something.

Tron bombed in the 1980's. I mean it was quite revolutionary for the time and it developed a huge cult status, but I mean, it bombed. So . . . don't they want people to see this movie? They got to let people know what it's about. They can't buck on nostalgia this much.

Trust me, once we get nearer to release date, Disney is going to go all out with this one.

There is a reason why they are spending big bucks making a sequel to this movie.

That lightcycle is just pure beauty.

I can't wait for the trailer to come out.

PS, Joseph Kosinki sounds like a great guy!
A director with the guts to try something different. I like how he went and got Daft Punk to do the music.

Finally some proper electronic music again in Hollywood.

[Webhead2006]

yea everything sounds good so far for the film. i too cant wait to when disney kickstarts the promotions more for the film.

[bullets]

do i think that its a good idea that the 3D will be when they are in the tron world? its an interesting approach.the problem is that i will pay a 3D ticket. so if the whole movie is not in 3D then why should i pay the whole 3D ticket?

it looks like this could be a problem.

I'm sure 90 percent of the movie is in Tronland or whatever it's called.

[Webhead2006]

probably will be.

[dark_b]

we will see.

[Brian Braddock]

anybody have any more info on how Kevin Flynn gets sucked back into the computer world and why he is missing?

Is it something to do with artificial intelligence locking him in the computer world again?

At this juncture, we just know that he suddenly went missing one day years ago. I'd imagine the cicumstances surrounding his dissappearance are a plot point.

It's going to be interesting to see whether it was voluntary or involuntary; although theres been all kinds of rumours [nothing verified].

[BeserkerHilf]

do i think that its a good idea that the 3D will be when they are in the tron world? its an interesting approach.the problem is that i will pay a 3D ticket. so if the whole movie is not in 3D then why should i pay the whole 3D ticket?

it looks like this could be a problem.

that is just stupid childish logic. Should we introduce a price scale determined by the percentage of 3D time? We are long gone from the days where it's just a scene or two in 3D.

and regardless, a 3D ticket, typically, is only $3 more than a regular ticket. Not that hard of a decision and fair considering glasses, projection maintenance and upkeep, etc costs.

[Webhead2006]

yea i cant wait to see how film turns out.

I noticed that Disney is rereleasing the animated Alice in Wonderland on DVD to coincide with the new movie by Tim Burton. Hopefully they do the same with Tron in december.

[Webhead2006]

probably will.

[Webhead2006]

probably will.

[echostation]

Blue shining characters, please watch out and be afraid... promote this film for less confusion so that people will be aware of it, despite the fact that the prequel bombed big time... Just please in ilahi wah rehmatullah's name, advertise this film as it has two things going against it... the bright blue color CG scheme which will be confused with Avatar rip off film with no Sam Worthington and that the prequel bombed...

If you are trolling or doing some type of Avatard parody you are doing extremely well.

[dark_b]

he is joking or just trolling.

[matrix_ghost]

When will they announce the date for the next trailer :cmad:

[Jochimus]

I'm sure 90 percent of the movie is in Tronland or whatever it's called.

That's what it'll be called when Disney installs it at the parks. :woot:

[Brian Braddock]

I actually think Echostations joking around now; I mean, no one in the history of the internet can really be as dense.

[That-Guy]

He's obviously joking. As idiotic as it is, I hope he keeps going. It's something that amuses me while we wait for more news on some of these movies. If you think his posts here are bizarre, you should see his comments in the Clash of the Titans thread, if you haven't yet.

[Nivek]

I never noticed the disk on his back before, was that in the test footage?

[dark_b]

i thought it was just a light behind him. but you are right. i think Neville Page said that the disk are important to the story.

[Doc Ock]

I'm still amazed that they are making a sequel, I sure am excited! But I never though it would happen....

[Nivek]

Yeah, just checked the trailer, no disk on his back. Interesting.

[Webhead2006]

well u do have to remember the stuff from the comic con trailer wasnt actual film footage. it was just made to show that it is possible for a new tron movie. As for what we saw in that footage having any real play in the movie we dont know.

Exactamundo.
The teaser was just concept footage and the director has said that the teaser basically takes place before the events of Tron Legacy.
Also i'm hoping that the this trailer will at least match the awesome sound of the Grid VFX test.

I know it's only a small thing, but I really hope that any bad guys in the movie have the same red/orange colour scheme as in the 1st. It'd be cool to see characters of various colours, but the bad guys (I'm talking Sark in particular) looked so damn cool.

I thought it was alredy confirmed to run in front of Alice?

I dont know all i heard that its coming real soon, probably by next week

[Rocker22]

We will probably see it next week once all the cities are revealed on zero hour.

[Webhead2006]

probably.

[matrix_ghost]

I thought it was alredy confirmed to run in front of Alice?


nope. It's speculation and rumors . Nothing has yet been confirmed.
Tron Legacy & Alice In WOnderland -> Disney movies
Tron Legacy & Alice In Wonderland -> 3d movies
Based on those 2 things people were thinking that there would be a trailer with AIW. And although it does make sense and probably will happen ,we still haven't had any confirmation.

[Webhead2006]

i thought it was confirmed.

[MOVIELORD101]

Yes, it has been:

http://community.livejournal.com/tron_legacy/11757.html

[Webhead2006]

i thought so, so cant wait. So we can finally see some real footage for the film. Since the teaser trailer was just concept work to get the film to happen. Though it does have merit to the story in the film.

To all those who passionately believe that Kevin Flynn, digital pioneer and legendary game designer, is still alive… LISTEN UP!

Our last event at Flynn’s Arcade was a call-to-arms for those of us who won’t buy into Encom-driven public propaganda about what happened. We’re not crazy - there’s more to this story than they are letting out.

Today, we have the chance to find out more… to get closer to the truth. WE NEED YOUR HELP!

PREPARE FOR THE NEXT PHASE OF OUR MISSION

We need operatives in 25 different cities around the world on Wednesday, February 24th. Organize now. For more information visit:FlynnLives.com/ZeroHour (http://www.flynnlives.com/zerohour/)I'm thinking that we won't get a trailer today but that it will just be the beginning of the ARG

EDIT: wow, literally one minute after I posted, the countdown stopped and the /zerohour page changed! Currently Chicago, Orlando, and Paris have directions of where they're supposed to go and are given a password. I really hope the meeting time for Denver isn't until tonight since I have work till 3:30

[Octoberist]

i remember with The Dark Knight's viral, there's ALWAYS THERE ONE lazy town where we have to wait for them to complete the damn game!

I cant wait to hear about what is happening this weekend at those special imax screenings that the viral game has going.

[fettclone]

Guys, if you're signed up at www.flynnlives.com for the viral you can get guest +1 tickets for a screening (likely the trailer) in IMAX at Scotiabank Theatre (Saturday @ 11:00). Go to www.pitcell.com, click on the "get free tickets" portion, log in, and print/save them.

It's that easy, and since it's Toronto they probably won't hit capacity for a little while. Good luck!

[wiegeabo]

Toronto's just a few...thousand miles out of my way. ;)

[fettclone]

:doh:

Yeah... probably should have mentioned the screenings are in Toronto, London, and Sydney. New York and LA are already gone.

Good call, wiegeabo!

For some reason I don't seem to be able to give this away - but I got one of the tickets for the London IMAX event tomorrow, and my plus one is going spare since the only guy I know who loves Tron is away at a wedding.

If you want it, say so and it's yours.

Just got news on Twitter about the london screening: THEY SHOWED THE NEW TRAILER!!! Also, they gave out Flynn Lives t-shirts at the end.

so it was just the trailer, sweet, i was reading rumors some thought it would be a scene from the movie or an early cut of the film. Cant wait to see the trailer.

[Dark Victory]

The trailer is attached to Alice in Wonderland, right? I have no interest in the latter, but it'd be worth the $14.:cwink:

wow can this make big numbers like AVATAR?

Who knows, plenty of people here were waiting for Avatar to fall short, and calling people who thought it would make Titanic money "delusional". Well, 2.5 Billion worldwide now, it can't underline that most people talking about Box Office don't know crap.

BTW- Don't get too excited for something here, or defend it too much, or you will be labeled a Troll.

Is is difficult to say if Tron can make Avatar numbers.
Personally i don't think so because these reasons
1) The story itself. Tron is (hardcore) SCI-FI in the league of Star Trek. Avatar may be SCI-FI or better yet SCI-FI mixed with fantasy but it was accesible to a broad audience. Creating all CG jungles , animals and of course the Na'Vi in CG was a big audience draw. With Tron it's a digital world as we know it. Personally i think that Tron be well received like the Star Wars reboot mutiplied by the 3d factor.

2)3d & IMAX itself. Don't forget that Avatar had all 3d and IMAX screen to itself for 3 months . OF course the movie was good enough for WOM to spread amongst the audience to see it in (IMAX) 3d. But suppose if Avatar only had (IMAx) 3d screens for december , it would have made alot of money but not as much as it's made so far.
And that's what may limit Tron .
Post Avatar studios realise what the power of 3d can be ( when it comes to BO) and i think that WB is also making a yogi bear in 3d and will release it on the same day as Tron Legacy. If something like the chipmunks can make more then 200 million ( in 2-d) , then imagine what a Yogi Bear movie can do for kids. And i'm not talking about movies like Potter which will open in November ( also in 3d) and may go on. 3d competion will be fierce.

So based on that i don't think that Tron will hit Avatar numbers.
But that doesn't mean that it won't be a hit. I think that Tron can easily make between 300-400 million domestic.

I am sure tron will make good numbers. Probably not as much as avatar. But still alot.

impossible to know how much money it will make since we only have 2 official images and an original bomb from the 80's

[Soulinertia]

Give us a new Teaser/Trailer already!

"....and I jizzed in my pants."

Cool picture.

I wonder if this was filmed in digital because that shot resembles a few scenes from Benjamin Button and Zodiac.

A new picture is going to be released each day this week :awesome:

weird i was thinking the exact same thing

awesome pic though

[Webhead2006]

well i think majority of the film was shot in real places vancour if i recall. Then in the digital world parts are all blue/green screens and all that. Also i was wondering any one got a pic of flynn's arcade from the 80s to compare to that new shot?

is this the same building used for both movies? or did they replicate the facade in Tron Legacy because it's fairly accurate.

[dark_b]

the trailer next week or will we get lucky friday?

The machines at Digital Domain must've gone thru hell to render the images at that resolution.

[dark_b]

The machines at Digital Domain must've gone thru hell to render the images at that resolution.computers will burn...............belive it :hehe:


its not just rendering. computers and software doesnt work so good at that size. composing and color grading must also be very slow. imagine an IMAX clip long 30 seconds. every second has 24 frames. and every frame is over 3K big. hahahhahahahhaahhahah

[Figs]

I think the only reason I'll be seeing this is because Bridges is returning. Visually it looks great though.

Digital Domain is a weird company because people rarely talk about them. It's always ILM or WETA. and then out of no where, Digital Domain comes out with great effects like in Ben Button.

maybe one reason that there's a slight neglect on their part is because they rarely have solo projects. In Some movies, companies like ILM or WETA would handle the bulk of the effects, leaving 20 percent to the other CGI companies. that probably include the likes of Digi Domain.

With ILM and WETA it's more about the fact that they their creations have made a huge impact on the audience. Lately look at their work.
WETA obviously has the LOTR movies , King Kong and of course Avatar.
ILN regained their "lost" status with their work on the POTC sequels and afterwards getting the photorealism right with Transformers and Iron Man.


And fanboys always believe in absolutes :oldrazz:
Hence why they always focus on the positive things of ILM and WETA and always forget the mediocre or outright bad stuff that ILM and WETA also created. ILM was responsible for the "genius " VFX shots of Mummy Returns and Van Helsing. And Weta did also work on the 2nd Fantastic Four movie or I,ROBOT. And The Day the Earth Stood Still & Eragon.

And after the genius work Domain did on Benamin Button , i can't believe they sunk so low with GI Joe. Truly craptastic VFX.

I fully believe that the directors are the ones who can make a movie's VFX excellent. You can give Spielberg ILM and he'll create the tripods of War Of The Worlds. You give Stephen Sommers ILM and he'll give you Van Helsing.
Kosinski fall the former category. He "gets" VFX and i'm sure that he'll definately deliver with Tron .
