Wow.

Pandora sure has changed since the 1st film - it's now so high tech it's unrecognisable.

:hehe:

[Ace of Knaves]

This is going to be utterly insane.

I gotta watch it in 3D... preferably after munching on some mushrooms or other psychedelic drugs :awesome:

[Brian Braddock]

I once went to see Interview with a Vampire after taking LSD. :D

Then it turned out that I'd left my glasses at home so I had to sit on the very front row just to see the flick.

Close up to the screen + psychedelic drugs = thinking that I was actually in the movie.

It was an experience, I can tell you.

[Ace of Knaves]

:funny: sounds faaaaaar out man.

But seriously, i'm not a massive fan of the 3D thing, but with a film like this, i think it will really add to it.

[Webhead2006]

totally.

[echostation]

Pandora is not involved with this film as Brian Braddock is confusing things already... when will peoples learning... this no good.

That said picture look great, very much like failed first film (which was good too, novel concept, but still fail at box office). I hope more episodes like South Park come to enhance awareness of greatness of Tron. As for budgeting this one, if they keep budget smart then will be hit...

[Ace of Knaves]

I can't see how the budget will be small for this though. It's gotta be 150 mill + surely?

He was being sarcastic, you illegal immigrant. Stop spamming the thread with your idiotic and pointless claims. No one of this Earth confuses Tron with Avatar. No one BUT YOU. Which leads me to believe you're not even from Earth.

[dark_b]

I can't see how the budget will be small for this though. It's gotta be 150 mill + surely?200 if not more IMO based on the size of the movie

[Ace of Knaves]

Big risk then. Even if it is a great film, it's a lot of money on the line.

[dark_b]

Big risk then. Even if it is a great film, it's a lot of money on the line.but the movie is already realesed. and it will be a sequel to an 20 old movie.

we win no matter what happens. :woot:


200 million movies were a big risk when they realesed only in normal theaters. when you have an option for IMAX tickets,imax 3d and digital 3D tickets then you will make a lot of money. and this will have good 3D.

[Ace of Knaves]

Well yea i'm not bothered about how much money it makes. I'm sure i'll enjoy it anyway :awesome:

[Hunter Rider]

Super High Res.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Tron Legacy is the same as Tron 2... see people are now confusing Tron with Tron and now Tron with Avatar... It's just getting crazy and we're still SO FAR AWAY FROM THE RELEASE... There is Man in theater here in local council city, he shaw puster of film on wall in theater and it showed Tron Legacy and he turned and shouted what is this?? AVATAR TWO ON THE WAY? Will they drive cycles into sea? WHY ARE THEY RIPPING OFF film... This is too much and cannot get to higher government planes.... The confusion WILL CONTINUE, check ur local radio polls

I know man, it is totally ripping off that scene in Avatar were Jake and Neytiri were chased by that giant winged thing while on light cycles!

Gorgeous. :up:

[dogwonder78]

What I really love about all these light cycle posters are the sleekness of them. I love that pinch of orange in the back too. Keep them coming! Olivia Wilde is going to be amazing in this movie too. They couldn't have picked a more perfect woman for the role.

they look amaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing

[Webhead2006]

cool

[Bad Superman]

The concept art rocks. I'm watching it in 3-D.

[scifiwolf]

This ws actually filmed in 3D, right? Like Avatar?

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea i think so. Proper 3D.

This is probably my most anticipated film this year.

[Rocker22]

The same technology as Avatar, except more advanced!!! :wow:

[dark_b]

The same technology as Avatar, except more advanced!!! :wow:what are you talking about?:huh:

[CGHulk]

what are you talking about?:huh:

He probably means this.

http://www.totalfilm.com/news/comic-con-09-tron-legacy-uses-new-avatar-3d-camera

"We used a brand new generation of the Pace/Cameron system developed by Vince Pace and James Cameron," says Kosinski. "I think we’re the first film to use full 35mm sensor cameras in a 3D rig."

http://blogs.coventrytelegraph.net/thegeekfiles/2010/01/tron-director-on-creating-a-3d.html

"Our approach is not like Avatar, which I think is 3D from the first shot to the last.

"Ours is sort of a Wizard of Oz approach. Ninety-eight percent of the 3D is in the world of Tron. The 3D really starts once we get into the Tron world.

"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.

"We did not shoot anything with an IMAX camera, because it uses film, and since we were shooting in 3D, 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."

[dark_b]

its a new camera. but its not 3D updated.

[TheVileOne]

Remember how people became suicidal after Avatar came out because it looked so awesome and the real world was so rough? Well this is going to make Avatar look like pre-school.

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea if there was ever a movie that would be literally PERFECT for 3D... it's Tron.

It's going to be ****ing immense. They better start building the hype for this beast though, it's gotta be mega, mega budget.

[Webhead2006]

yea i cant wait to see how the film looks on screen.

[kickass]

Yea if there was ever a movie that would be literally PERFECT for 3D... it's Tron.

I KNOW! This is my most anticipated film of this year (besides Kick-Ass which I already saw and loved lol)!!

[spider-neil]

yep, tron is my most anticipated (after IM2) and its proper 3D not that 2.8D ruish which I refuse to watch again.

[terry78]

I want to live in the Tron world and have sex with Olivia Wilde on her chaise lounge. :csad:

[Kane52630]

Nice concept pictures :up:

[Soapy]

I want to live in the Tron world and have sex with Olivia Wilde on her chaise lounge. :csad:

Yo, you're kind of stating the obvious. Haha.

[TheVileOne]

I want to live in the Tron world and have sex with Olivia Wilde on her chaise lounge. :csad:
The Tron world ISN'T REAL THOUGH! Just like Avatar. Committing suicide won't let you have sex with Olivia Wilde on the chaise lounge in the Tron world.

[dark_b]

even more concept art
http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=65849

i came

[scifiwolf]

Thanks for the responses, guys. Normally, I'd search, but I haven't been around as much and 1200+ posts can get tedious. It's cool to hear they're using 3D in a similar manner as color in The Wizard of Oz. That was the most responsible and creative use of movie-making technology I think I've ever seen. This was a must-see for me, but now it's a must-see in IMAX 3D.

[Webhead2006]

cool concept work.

[dogwonder78]

Wow, that concept art is awesome. I can't wait to see the entire movie come together with the guys in those suits! I love the overall design of the suits and the helmets are a nice touch. Those neon lights will end up looking great in the final shots in the film.

[BlackLantern]

so I just saw the trailer last night.....I am optimistic...smart move on Disney to release it in December

[echostation]

no they should've released it in the summer or fall, and you know exactly WHY they should've cone that... they're trying to fool and tool and hook by crook fool people and they shouldn't... it's rude and unecessary... in ilahi's name when will they stop trying to pass this off and CON people

[BlackLantern]

ok?? I don't get how they are trying to "con" anyone....it's a sequel for a movie that came out 28 years ago

releasing it summer would be ill advised because it would get lost in the crush of the blockbusters...releasing it in winter will help tremendously because people don't expect action films to come out at that time of the year so it will be a change of pace

just my opinion

[Hunter Rider]

He's still cracking on with the craziness that this film is trying to make people believe it is connected with Avatar b/c of the colour blue.

[BlackLantern]

huh?? he does know the original film came out in 1982 and blue was the primary palette for the film, right?? and 1982 was a long time before Avatar came out

the backgrounds, terrain, the recognizer Flynn builds....all blue

the main characters...Flynn, Tron, RAM, the girl...all blue

[CELTICPRED]

huh?? he does know the original film came out in 1982 and blue was the primary palette for the film, right?? and 1982 was a long time before Avatar came out

http://i47.tinypic.com/290tvns.png

[BlackLantern]

I went back and read some other posts of echos....umm yea, he can hang out in that clubhouse all by himself

I have some questions though....

- how did Flynn end up back in the machine is the big one?

- why didn't Alan or anyone else either try to help or go in after him?

- the MCP is gone so I wonder what the villain will be

[dark_b]

I have some questions though....

-i think we start the movie with hes kid. and how hes dad got missing. so i think we will find this through the movie.
- i dont think Alan was in the first movie inside the computer. hes program looked like him. i dont think he knows everything.

Watch the latest trailer, you will see the digitizer on the opposite side of Flyn's workstation, in the secret room.

I do not think Flyn ever told Alan or Lara what happen to him in the first film.

I have heard rumors Clu, Flyn's hacker program in the first film has gone rogue and now the new film. This is just a rumor.

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea i was under the impression that Clu is the bad guy in the new one.

[BlackLantern]

but why does Flynn have a digitzer?? I guess we'll just have to wait

[Webhead2006]

whats wrong with a dec release that is a prime holiday period for films. just like 4th of july weekend is a killer for movies too.

[Dark Victory]

To anyone who's been looking for the original Daft Punk track shown at Comic-Con, this is supposedly it.

Ap7uGtw4QLc&feature=related

[Soapy]

Probably another fake. Sounds good though. :word:

I think this is the first time I'm looking forward to the soundtrack more than the movie.

[Monsieur Xavier]

but why does Flynn have a digitzer?? I guess we'll just have to wait


Would you not want to go back in the computer world once you discovered it ?
In the trailer Alan said that Flynn said it will change everything, science, religion etc etc.

[BlackLantern]

not if my first trip there resulted in numerous attempts on my life...Id send probes in through the digitzer, because that would make sense

[Monsieur Xavier]

^
Probably but Flynn isn't this kind of guy :)
Also he is now a hero, the savior of the computer world and he also has "real user power" to quote him.

[dogwonder78]

whats wrong with a dec release that is a prime holiday period for films. just like 4th of july weekend is a killer for movies too.

Completely agree. I feel like movies that open at the end of the year always get more attention since it is around the holidays too...just my 2 cents.

Also wanted to add the newest billboard art -- LOVING it!

[Sentinel X]

Oh my God...Tron Legacy looks so awesome that when I see it in imax 3D I'm going to die as soon as the disney logo comes up because it will just be too awesome.

[Sawyer]

This movie looks so damn badass...

[Webhead2006]

cool ad

[dogwonder78]

I love how those discs look! Totally digging the blue/black color scheme too.

[dark_b]

visual this movie can not fail.

[Webhead2006]

totally it looks great.

[Doctor Jones]

Will definitely see this in IMAX 3D.

[dogwonder78]

Will definitely see this in IMAX 3D.

Agreed. This movie in IMAX 3D is going to be insane. I can definitely see myself seeing it 2 times back to back. This will be epic.

[ttotheusher]

I've never seen a film in the IMAX cinema, and I'm kinda glad this film above all others is the one to "pop my cherry", if you'll pardon the euphamism.

[dogwonder78]

Hahah, good joke. I laughed. :) Since Daft Punk will have their hands on the music for this film, the added surround sound in the theater will definitely add to the experience!

[/(^_^)\]

What do you all think about the lead guy in this movie, Garrett Hedlund? He seems to have charisma, no? What do you think?

[matrix_ghost]

I'm surprised there isn't any talk of a new trailer. Disney should've attached a new trailer with the Toy Story 3 prints since the movie is a full 3-d feature.

[Webhead2006]

well i am sure there is another trailer coming soon.

[matrix_ghost]

Well of course another trailer is cominng. What i want to hear is
1) when are we getting a new trailer
2) which movie will have the new trailer

[Kane52630]

yeah my guess is that the new trailer wont be here until right before fall. Releasing a trailer in the summer wont be as effective as them releasing it in the fall unless if they are releasing a 3rd trailer

[Monsieur Xavier]

What do you all think about the lead guy in this movie, Garrett Hedlund? He seems to have charisma, no? What do you think?

As far as I am concerned I think I will just be blown away by the visual to really be able to judge his performance objectively.
Anyway, he looks fine in the trailer.

[dark_b]

i dont expect to much from the acting.
glowing futuristic vehicles,hot girls in tight leather with glowing lights.

ohhhhhhhh yeah.

[ttotheusher]

Well, we can atleast expect Jeff Bridges, Michael Sheen and John Hurt to knock it out of the park. I've never seen the lead before I believe, so I shall go in with an open mind. And hey, if he's terrible, we have Olivia Wilde to concentrate on right?

[BlackLantern]

Im not familiar with either Hedlund or Olivia Wilde....just because you're hot doesn't give you a pass

[Monsieur Xavier]

Well, we can atleast expect Jeff Bridges, Michael Sheen and John Hurt to knock it out of the park. I've never seen the lead before I believe, so I shall go in with an open mind. And hey, if he's terrible, we have Olivia Wilde to concentrate on right?

John Hurt doesn't star in Tron Legacy or I missed something, IMDB doesn't list him in the cast either.

I'm with you about Olivia Wilde but I fear that I will be more concentrated on the new LightCycle, the Recognizer and the designs.

By the way, I wonder if we will see Tron ( the character ) but maybe this question have been already asked and answered ?

[The Squirrel]

Im not familiar with either Hedlund or Olivia Wilde....just because you're hot doesn't give you a pass

Olivia Wilide is good on House.

[Nivek]

Im not familiar with either Hedlund or Olivia Wilde....just because you're hot doesn't give you a pass


Wilde is pretty good on house, she's come through on many various dramatic episodes with flying colors. From almost dying, hostage situations, personal stuff, even comedy.

She is smoking hot as well.

No, I didn't mean his actual acting performance. I meant screen presence. Do you guys think he has screen presence?

i would say probably july or aug.

Holy crap and that's not even from the film that looked fantastic!

[Kane52630]

Holy crap and that's not even from the film that looked fantastic!

its just a rendered cut scene, its not what the gameplay will look like.

[Electrofarce]

its just a rendered cut scene, its not what the gameplay will look like.

i know but i was just impressed with the cgi quality of the cut scene and makes me want the new film trailer all the more!

[Webhead2006]

pretty cool game trailer.

[Dark Victory]

Jesus Christ, to think if the movie pulls off anything like those sequences.:wow:

[xwolverine2]

WOW the E3 game trailer was siiick!!!!!

if the movie can somehow have action scenes like that my head will explode.

[dark_b]

all E3 trailers are good.

and those game cinematics are gettings way to real IMO. holly s......

[CGHulk]

Wow that looked like actual film footage. It looks like Digital Domain did that just for that game trailer. :wow:

[dark_b]

other CGI houses are doing game trailers.

[CGHulk]

Just complementing the work that is done here as looking professional as it would be from a big effects house like DD! Props to whom ever did it, it looks amazing!

[KenK]

No, I didn't mean his actual acting performance. I meant screen presence. Do you guys think he has screen presence?

I've seen Hedlund in two movies, and he's drastically different from one to the next. He's the quintessential "baby brother" in Four Brothers, but he's pretty damn menacing in Death Sentence, where he's playing a gang leader. He's definitely got some range and presence about him.

[xwolverine2]

i would say Blur Studios did that... but then again E3 had a 5min star wars cinematic by them.. so i doubt they did them both

[Doctor Jones]

I got the first film from Netflix so I hope I like it.

[matrix_ghost]

Damn i just found out that Green Hornet will be released in IMAX 3-d in Jan 2011.
Chances of Tron Legacy becoming a huge BO success are starting to decrease.

I don't expect Tron legacy to be a 750 million grossing movie a la Avatar though i had expected it to make between 300-400 million domestic ...maybe even going over 400 million.
And that's all because of the visuals in 3-d. But unlike Avatar or even Alice in Wonderland , competition for 3-d and IMAX screens is going to be fierce.

A comparison. When Avatar came out it had all the 3d and IMAX screen to itself from dec 09 to march 2010. After that it lost all the IMAX screens to Alice in Wonder and a good portion of the it's 3-d screens.
Alice In Wonderland had all the IMAX screens from March 2010 till April 2010.

Tron Legacy will have IMAX screens from dec 2010 till Jan 2011
But when it comes to 3-d screens it'll face competion from
1 the 3rd narnia movie
2 Yogi Bear
3 Gulliver travels

All in December.

Granted all of the above movies are aiming at families with kids whereas Tron Legacy is going for the male crowd .

[Kane52630]

well Tron Legacy has the bigger buzz out of all the other 3D movies in December and I doubt Green Hornet will be a big force seeing how everyone has lost interest in that movie. Tron Legacy will do well in the B.O.
not as good as Avatar's B.O. numbers but It looks to be around $300+ when everything is counted for

[matrix_ghost]

Tron's buzz has started since ít's debut at CC 2008.
But now the other movies will start their promotions. The trailer for the 3rd Narnia movie was released yesterday and i wouldn't be surprised to see the the other movie being promoted heavily in the upcoming months.

I think if everything works out well , it may gross as much as Alice In Wonderland did in the states. International will be a different thing because i have absolutely no idea how it'lll do there.
To be honest , Disney is focusing their marketing in the states because i haven't seen anything of Tron Legacy here in Holland. Hell promotion for Alice In Wonderland also started well advance here.

[ttotheusher]

John Hurt doesn't star in Tron Legacy or I missed something, IMDB doesn't list him in the cast either.

Damn, your right! Where the frack did I get John Hurt from? :huh:

[Webhead2006]

why just because green hornet being moved to jan mean tron is screwed. for all we know tron could still kick hornet's butt and all that.

[Doctor Jones]

I still think Green Hornet is gonna flop. With or without 3D.

[dark_b]

its about how many screenings you have in the day.

[matrix_ghost]

why just because green hornet being moved to jan mean tron is screwed. for all we know tron could still kick hornet's butt and all that.

Like i said in my earlier post. Unlike Avatar which had all the 3-d and IMAX screens to itself for 3 months , Tron will only be shown in IMAX theaters for a month and will compete for the 3-d screens with 3 other movies.
Buzz on Tron is definately stronger then Hornet but i'm looking at screens here. Having more movies competing for the screens will definately dampen Tron's BO success.
Hell the same happened with Avatar when Alice In Wonderland came on board. Despite the fact that the movie is the highest grossing movie of all time , it could made another 50 million or so if AIW hadn't opened.

[Webhead2006]

probably so we will just have to see what happens i guess.

[Blackman]

well Tron Legacy has the bigger buzz out of all the other 3D movies in December and I doubt Green Hornet will be a big force seeing how everyone has lost interest in that movie. Tron Legacy will do well in the B.O.

I think he just means that Hornet is going to steal some of the 3D theaters from Tron Legacy. Which is true kind of hurts 3D movies when they are released close together

[Jackasscoley15]

Damn, your right! Where the frack did I get John Hurt from? :huh:

He used to be listed on the IMDB page, don't know what happened.

[Webhead2006]

yea that is the problem with idiot studios doing 3d releases. They all need to work together and have each film that is to be 3d to at least each film at a solid 2 months to use the bulk of 3d/imax screens.

[Judge Holden]

Green Hornet needs to piss off. What the hell in Green Hornet will put 3D to good use? Especially compared to this?

[DorkyFresh]

last news i heard of Green Hornet was that the executives saw some of the footage and thought that Seth Rogen looked nothing like him, were disappointed with the production, and were thinking about pulling the plug. if that's true then that can't bode will for Green Hornet and Tron Legacy has nothing to worry about.

[Webhead2006]

that was old old news, and i dont think it was true. But who knows.

[matrix_ghost]

yea that is the problem with idiot studios doing 3d releases. They all need to work together and have each film that is to be 3d to at least each film at a solid 2 months to use the bulk of 3d/imax screens.

No studio is going to that. Because then you might as well ditch the 3-d releases entirely. The problem is that there are just too many movies released close together. Studios know that family movies do well during holiday seasons and with added 3-d prices , they know they make more $$$.
Look at how Toy Story 3 is doing. PIXAR and Disney have been very smart in releasing TS3 with Father's Day.

Edit :
I also found out that Tron will open Jan 26th here in holland.
GReat move disney :whatever:
The ****in movie has been in development since 2008 yet they can't manage a worldwide release at the same time

[dark_b]

jan 26? thats a disaster

[Webhead2006]

oh totally i get it wont happen. But yea it would be nice move if they studios agreed on dates. But thats the issue with all the studios wanting to do 3d releases for films that dont need 3d releases in the first place.

[xwolverine2]

Damn i just found out that Green Hornet will be released in IMAX 3-d in Jan 2011.
Chances of Tron Legacy becoming a huge BO success are starting to decrease.


LMAO! :hehe: the green hornet is gonna flop as bad as Jonah Hex
Tron will wipe it off the face of the planet.:oldrazz:

people's hopes are too high if they think it'll get Avatar numbers though.. gimme a break

[DarkKnight88]

Tron and Green Hornet are being released a month apart. If it bombs, it won't be because of Tron.

I'm not expecting Avatar numbers. And i think everyone who is expecting the same is delusional. Like i've said in m earlier post . Part of the success of Avatar is because it had all 3-d screens to itself and IMAX screens.
TRon on the other hand will be facing competition for 3 family flicks in december ( all in 3-d) as well as losing it's IMAX screens in Jan when it'll compete with Hornet ( also a 3-d movie).
I was hoping for Tron to hit 400 million domestic but now it looks like the movie will gross between 300-350 million. Very respectable IMO but no near what it should make.

Considering that they movie is being made since 2008 , i had expected Disney to release the movie at the same time in all markets. Instead they're spreading it .

[Webhead2006]

yea for me i hope tron with its total us run lands any where between 250-350mill, with an additional 100-200mill internationally. So we land somewhere like 500-600mill total run. That would be a successful run i think to disney.

[matrix_ghost]

Tron Legacy is budgeted at 200 million.
Dunno about included or excluded ad costs but the movie should make between 400-500 million WW in order to break even .

And Disney will need it considering PoP bombed pretty hard.

[BlackLantern]

Toy Story 3 took care of that

[matrix_ghost]

Toy Story 3 took care of that

Let's see how well it'll hold up :cwink:

[Doctor Jones]

It'll hold up fine over the summer. Number will drop of course, but there will be a steady income of its box office.

I haven't even seen it yet!

[Compi716]

Personally, I think Tron is going to seriously disappoint at the box office. People are talking about it here like it's The Dark Knight or something. Tron is a sequel to a forgotten film that really doesn't hold up so well today with modern audiences. I saw the Tron Legacy trailer with Alice and Wonderland, and thought it looked cool, so I decided to watch Tron for the fist time about a month ago. Comparable to other 80s "classics," this one does not hold up well. What non-fans are honestly anticipating this release? Granted, I'll still see it, but don't be shocked if it underperforms.

You do make valid points. I agree that Tron , however groundbreaking it may have been , doesn't hold up.
However buzz has been strong for the movie and the footage so far shows that they are improving on the movie .
Look at JJ Ambram's Star Trek. When it was fist announced many people ( including me) just shook their head because Trek movies have completely moved away from the general audience.
Yet with each trailer , image and report things started to look better. And when the movie came , it was a huge success.

The same thing could happen with Tron.

3 Major factors are accounted
1. Its in 3D
2. Its Disney
3. Its released in December

About TRON: Legacy
TRON: Legacy is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that's unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), a rebellious 27-year-old, is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his father Kevin Flynn (Oscar®- and Golden Globe®-winner Jeff Bridges), a man once known as the world's leading video-game developer. When Sam investigates a strange signal sent from the old Flynn's Arcade—a signal that could only come from his father—he finds himself pulled into a digital world where Kevin has been trapped for 20 years. With the help of the fearless warrior Quorra (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-or-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe—a universe created by Kevin himself that has become far more advanced with never-before-imagined vehicles, weapons, landscapes and a ruthless villain who will stop at nothing to prevent their escape. Presented in Disney Digital 3D™ and scored by Grammy Award®-winning electronic music duo Daft Punk, TRON: Legacy hits U.S. theaters on Dec. 17, 2010 in Disney Digital 3D™ and IMAX® 3D.

I havent boughten toys for a movie for a good eight years at least, but this might change.

[matrix_ghost]

many people said that about Avatar. I doubt it will underperform
3 Major factors are accounted
1. Its in 3D
2. Its Disney
3. Its released in December

I'll agree with your first point because Tron , just like Avatar , has unique visuals that will be awesome to see in 3-d. Get the visuals right and people won't care if a story isn't original ( Avatar).

However the Disney brand isn't fireproof though. I mean PoP is their big bomb this summer.

As for December. Yeah . I'll give you that too because with the holidays many people are free to watch the movie. "Maybe" the movie might face some competition because parents would rather watch a kiddie flick then something that is SCI-FI.

[ttotheusher]

The iPod dock is P.I.M.P.

Domestically PoP was a bomb, but worldwide it is a hit.
so far it has made $293,900,574 and their budget was $200 Million

I WANT that keyboard

[matrix_ghost]

No.
You obviously haven't had lots of BO discussions here at the hype otherwise you'd know why PoP is a bomb :cwink:
The average that is used with BO discussions is that a movie needs to make double it's budget in order to break even .
So PoP with it's 200 million budget should've made at least 400 million. It's currently at 293 million and still needs another 107 million to break even.

[Kane52630]

No.

So PoP with it's 200 million budget should've made at least 400 million. It's currently at 293 million and still needs another 107 million to break even.

yeah becuase they mean s*** when watching and discussing a film and 107 million isnt that far away. I say that Disney name is a major factor to the BO because they have resourses to make or break a film. If you want a good example then look what I posted earlier, all the merchandise they are bringing to the table before the film is released

[Blackman]

Tron's success isnt as easy to predict as other films

It has some things going for it. Sequel to a beloved 80s film, so it'll get some nostalgic viewers. It is the closest thing to Avatar in terms of 3D, recent Oscar winner Jeff Bridges, Disney

But then there are some people who didn't like Tron who don't really want to see the sequel
And the biggest problem...4 other 3D films released in the same month. And all of them are family films. They are all going to be fighting over 3D theaters and audiences will be deciding which film to watch

I think Tron Legacy will do fine. I'm not sure about Avatar numbers but it should do decent/well

[matrix_ghost]

Dude.We discuss many topics here on the hype. One of those is the boxoffice discussion. While you may not agree with that , just don't come and and start saying things which aren''t true and then saying that BO discussions are ****.

Anyway going back to PoP. 107 million is actually far away because PoP has opened in the majority of it's markets and isn't making alot of money anymore.
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=2828&p=.htm
Prince of Persia fell 48 percent to $10.2 million in its fifth weekend for a foreign total of $213.1 million.
You can check BOMOJO link for the past foreign grosses of PoP and see that they aren't huge numbers. And with competition from a slate of new movies , that number is going to fall harder .
PoP is a bomb

As for the merchandising. What good is merchandise if a movie isn't a success. Disney is smart to focus on the geek related items because they know that group ( the males aged 15-35) are going to be biggest contributors to the BO. And Tron has the advantage of having name recognisition amongst geeks.
But going back to BO success. IMO merchandise coupled with BO returns aren't enough for a studio to break even or greenlight sequels. The merchandise numbers can vary from moderate to huge numbers when it comes to established properties like with CB characters ( superman , batman , spider-man etc). But the BO returns are the dominating factor here. If those disappoint even if merchandise sales are strong , the studio will still pull the plug on future movies.

[Kane52630]

becuase they do mean s*** to you and to me but we still talk about them. Is AVATAR the best movie of all time? no. Is Evil Dead the worse film ever created? no. Bottomline is that you can talk numbers but it doesnt automatically make a film a success or a failure

3D's diminishing box office returns
'Toy Story' is third opener to sell fewer tix in the format


The 3D crunch is hitting the domestic summer box office, as this weekend's boffo opener "Toy Story 3" marks the third consecutive 3D opening -- and 3D toon -- to earn a lower percentage of its gross from 3D venues than previous such offerings.
Actual weekend figures for the Disney/Pixar toon came in at $110.3 million, slightly ahead of Sunday's estimates, with 60% of the weekend's gross from 3D screens.

The toon's 3D grosses were 11% less than Disney's "Alice in Wonderland" opening, which earned 71% of its $116.1 million opening from 3D.

With "Alice" just three weeks into its domestic run, Paramount and DreamWorks Animation's "How to Train Your Dragon" then bowed March 26 with 68% from 3D, followed by "Shrek" on May 21 with a 62% 3D share.

Why the falling 3D shares? According to some B.O. observers, it's mostly due to the 3D screen crunch causing competition among toons -- but it's also possible fami-lies are beginning to question the necessity of buying 3D tix on opening weekends.

"When 'Alice' opened, there was nothing in the marketplace to eat up the majority of the 3D screens," said Disney prexy of global distribution Chuck Viane. "When 'Toy Story' opened, we had to share the pot of available screens with 'Shrek.'"

"Toy 3" occupied 2,463 digital 3D screens; while in its fifth frame, "Shrek" held on to 1,300 3D screens. As of last month, the U.S. 3D screen count stood at 4,384 and approximately 2,500 3D locations.

On the exhibitor side, director of media and research for the National Assn. of Theater Owners Patrick Corcoran said most circuits are motivated by playability. "We're seeing an increasing number of 3D screens, but when more than one movie competes for a screen, it becomes a question of which movie will play," Corcoran said.

Both Par toons, which debuted somewhat lower than expected, have maintained steady holds in subsequent frames. Totals for "Dragon" stand at $214.8 million domestically; "Shrek" reached $223.1 million through the weekend.

Some insiders question whether families are willing to pay 3D upcharges of several dollars each for the entire family -- especially when the youngest tykes have trouble keeping glasses on. In response to concerns about adult-sized glasses, 3D provider RealD launched a line of kid-sized 3D glasses made available in conjunction with the launch of "Toy 3." The glasses are designed to fit children aged 8 and younger.

Corcoran said some moviegoers will wait to hear whether the 3D quality is worth the price.

With healthy runs and positive word of mouth for "Dragon" and "Shrek," most auds have decided it's worth the extra cost -- "Shrek's" share of 3D tickets has remained steady since opening weekend.

In July, two more pics will add to the 3D logjam: Par's live action "The Last Airbender," which bows July 1, could see interest in the 3D aspect from the targeted aud of young males. Like the year's previous toon entries, Universal's "Despicable Me" could face a similar challenge among families when it launches a week later



LIke i've said earlier. Tron won't pass Avatar because of the fierce competition for 3-d screens. That doesn't mean that the movie won't hold up well. The trend with 3-d screens will just be like 2-d screens. Competiting movies might open bigger but it hold overs are solid the movie can still be a success. If there is a (hge) interest for Tron , theaters might keep it playing for a long time. Hell even now Avatar is still playing on a couple screens here in holland ( in 3-d). I'm also seeing that it's still playing in the states.
THough i think that if there were fewer 3-d movies opening. Tron could've made 400 million domestic easy. Now with that much competion i will be surprised if they manage to go beyond 350 million. IMO a very respectable number but nowhere near Tron's potential.

[matrix_ghost]

By that logic we shouldn't be talking about any movie because we aren't critics like Ebert . To them movies matter because they get paid for talking and writing about movies.

This is a forum. We're debating using many arguments. One of them is boxoffice discussions.

I went to the Cinema Expo in Amsterdam today where Disney gave a one and a half hour presentation about their movie projects of the next 18 months and the presentation ended with a 6 to 8 minute presentation about TRON Legacy.

I have to saw, my mind was complete blown to pieces! MY GOD this movie is the most stylish, designer, innovative movie projects I've seen in a while, certainly from a studio like Disney. We saw plenty of concept art and animatics but the presentation ended with what looked like a new trailer. It was basically an extended version of the previous trailer. We first see Sam in bed as a child, with Kevin sitting on his bed, talking about an experience Kevin has had, and we see toys in Sam's room based on elements inside the TRON world. During these scenes you never see Kevin's face, he's only seen from the back. Then we see the entire introduction of Sam looking for his father, discussing his disappearance, going to the arcade, sitting at the table with the laser behind him, but instead of a fade like the first trailer, we now see a neon blue pull of the outlines and figure of Sam into the camera. and that transports us into the TRON world.

Mindblowing imagery, but the music. DAMN people! I need that soundtrack in my life right now! The song playing was completely new and it literally shook the room and made my inner core tremble. I featured a VERY hard and deep bassline, repeated constantly with four or five synth tones playing over it in repetition. The bass really shakes you up like a very hard and loud drum. It's just so innovative as a soundtrack and really does fit the atmosphere of the movie.

Back to the trailer. We see Sam walking around in the TRON world. Looking around as recognizers fly past and eventually a shot where he is lifted up into the disc game arena with about five players facing eachother to battle. Two players go at it and one of them throws his disc straight through the other player which leads him to shatter like glass and break apart into thousands of square pixel type pieces on the floor. It's epically beautiful in terms of art direction and mood with all it's neon, black and lighting. Really cutting edge, modern and also retro to some degree. We see some shots of Clu2.0 at the end of the clip we see Sam facing Clu2.0 who is a digitally rejuvenated Lloy Bridges which is EXTREMELY mindboggling to look at. Really well excecuted! Sam stands in a room looking at Clu2.0 and says: "Dad?", Clu2.0 looks back and says: "I'm not your father but I'm certainly happy to meet you", then he turns around and starts to walk away. It's all VERY powerfull stuff, with some awesome footage of lightcycle battles with 3 bikes cutting curves, bumping and crashing into eachother.

I'm REALLY psyched about this movie right now and the trailer is STUNNING, I seriously can't wait to own that soundtrack and play it to death. EPIC!!!




I'll be watching Toy Story 3 in a couple of hours. I'm hoping to see the Tron Legacy trailer

[dark_b]

i think the trailer was only for them

[matrix_ghost]

i think the trailer was only for them




I know the trailer was for them. The trailer was shown as the Cinema Expo ( europe's version of Showest) and only industry insiders are allowed. Not the general public.
But i wanna see the Tron Legacy trailer on the big screen. Here in holland we usually don't see trailer till 1.5-2 months before release. There are rare exceptions of seeing trailers very early on. ALice In WOnderland being one of them. Alice came out in March and we saw the trailer in december ( a full 3 months before release).
Considering that the first trailer of Tron was completely in 3-d , i'm hoping to see it with TS3 today in IMAX 3-d.

[dark_b]

i thought oyu meant the expo trailer.

i also didnt get the Tron teaser with Alice.

[Webhead2006]

the expo trailer sounds cool. would love if it went online.

[DorkyFresh]

We see some shots of Clu2.0 at the end of the clip we see Sam facing Clu2.0 who is a digitally rejuvenated Lloy Bridges which is EXTREMELY mindboggling to look at.

I think Disney is definately looking at avatar to promote tron , as well as some of their own stuff.
Going for the december slot , which is the same period that Avatar was released. It is debatable but i think that after Avatar , Tron might the first movie with unique 3-d visuals. And while Tron has premiered footage at CC , it was just the Proof on concept test , this time around they are going to show (quite alot ) new footage . CC '09 was the first time audiences ( not ndustry people) saw the footage of Avatar.

[Webhead2006]

cool stuff, and read about tron getting a comic con panel this yr. Hopefully they got some cool stuff this time.

[corby]

I think this sums up the general audience's view of Tron :hehe:

Seriously though if you replace the wilde pic with any pic ( or specifically the Bridges pic) from the proof of concept test , you pretty much nailed the general reaction to Legacy.

Oh man I have to get my hands on that keyboard and mouse set, it looks amazing!

I just watched the first movie for the first time in a very long while. Just wanted to refresh my memory before the second one came out! The visuals look amazing, I'm impressed with how well its all come out

Video Blog: Tron Legacy Set Visit
http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/07/05/video-blog-tron-legacy-set-visit/

http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/4610/75711858.jpg

Earlier this year, I posted a brief Tron Legacy set visit preview, accompanied by a couple interviews we conducted on set with the cast and crew: Jeff Bridges, who reprises his role as Kevin Flynn in the Tron sequel, Steven Lisberger, the writer/director/creator of the original Tron, who is on board for Tron Legacy as a producer, writer, and actor, and Garrett Hedlund, the star of Tron Legacy, who plays Kevin Flynn’s son Sean, who goes into the world of Tron in search of his long lost father.

Today, I’m finally able to post a 40-minute set visit video blog that Frosty from Collider and I recorded immediately after returning to the hotel from the set. As you might expect, this was recorded quite some time ago — before trailers, Comic-Con, footage — the movie was not yet titled Tron: Legacy, and still featured the horrible working title TR2N. But even so, we got to see a lot and learn a lot on set, and we present some information which has remained secret, lock and key, until now. Hit the jump to watch the video blog.

The day after the world learned of Michael Jackson’s death, I found myself in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada revisiting my 1980’s childhood. Its not what it sounds like. I was on the set of a sequel to a film I had first seen 27 years prior. If you had told me as a kid that I would someday have a chance to enter the world of Tron, I wouldn’t have believed you.

But standing in a giant lounge called the “End of Line” club, consisting of glass floors and black and white lights, I watched Jeff Bridges reprise his role as Kevin Flynn. And while it wasn’t filmed on the top floor of the highest building in the evolved world inside the computer, you certainly wouldn’t know it walking around the giant and elaborate set. And that was a surprise — a big surprise.

When I received the invitation to visit the set of Tron Legacy, I had assumed that most of the production was to be filmed on green screen stages using performance capture and tennis balls on sticks. I could not have been more wrong. While on set I witnessed dozens of extras, all wearing real, glowing, rubber suits. An action scene took place with actors wielding real-life glowing light discs, which look just like you would imagine them to look if they actually existed.

I’m still not quite sure what happened in the action scene that played out, but I knew one thing - it looked cool. And not the fake, manufactured, trying too hard to be cool, but instead — authentically cool. And not only that, I could see it in front of me, without the help of computer generated magic. And better yet, I watched it 3D. Wearing special 3D glasses, I watched playback on the big flat screen monitors on set.

are there spoilers from the plot?

[Kane52630]

yeah sorta, but its nothing really major or anything from the 2nd half of the film.

'And some fans will like this: part of Empire’s report on the film is that David Fincherhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/07/08/new-images-tron-legacy/#) has seen director Joseph Kosinski’s rough cut, and gave notes on it.''

Haha, anyone else getting a Darth Maul vibe from the pic of Jeff Bridges? Regardless, the film looks great. Supposedly, David Fincher has been helping out in the editing room, according to Slashfilm. Also, I've only heard praise of Daft Punk's work that plays during the new trailer. I think I may be more excited for the soundtrack than the movie.:o

i really liked Avatar and (aside from Avatar) Tron Legacy is probably my most anticipated movie within the last 10 years. that being said, the imagery in Tron is easily more striking than Avatar's simply because it's much more stylized and extreme. you won't find any scenes that take place in natural habitats. however, from a technical standpoint, it comes nowhere near as close as Avatar. Cameron had his crew build a whole planet complete with ecosystem and intelligent inhabitants. for the first time, we were able to take multiple digital characters seriously and totally forget that we were just looking at a bunch of numbers and pixels. i will continue to praise Tron because of it's extreme style and making Jeff Bridges young again, but Avatar was an undertaking that will remain unmatched for years to come.

[Electrofarce]

I take it as I like to be different than the majority, but I really didn't like the film. I was bored by it. I did try to enjoy it. I thought the visuals made the world look fake. There was just too much of it...

[Nivek]

Give me a break, it's not even the same type of world as Avatar. It's like comparing Star Wars to Jaws.

Is is just me, or does the pic of Jeff Bridges remind anyone of Dumont from the original Tron?

[Dark Victory]

Hit the nail on the head.:dry:

[DorkyFresh]

please let's not turn this thread into a Tron vs Avatar or 'let's bash Avatar' discussion. Avatar is a great movie and Tron looks to continue the Legacy of great 3D films with otherworldly environments and awesome action sequences. these 2 films can co-exist without being pit against each other.

other than the fact that both films are made with 3D in mind from the start, there is so little that Tron Legacy and Avatar have in common that i honestly don't understand the comparisons anyway. "Tron Legacy has better visuals than the Matrix" is totally understandable, but to me "Tron Legacy has better visuals than Avatar" is like saying "Dark Knight" has a better story than "Titanic".

[Sawyer]

because its the "cool" thing to do right? ...

Or maybe because that's how they actually feel...

[Doc Ock]

It wasn't my intention to start a comparison of Tron to Avatar. But anyways, I'm more hyped about Tron Legacy than any other film this year!

"You're gonna to get raped "

Seriously the first that popped into my head when i saw this pic :hehe:

[dark_b]

i like how the light is under hes coat. so it makes a glowing effect .

my question to the guys who worked on Tron is.

''how did you make a lightsource under the coat that doesnt become hot and burns hes skin''.

amazing.

[Brian Braddock]

Could that be achieved somehow with chemiluminescence?

"These new suits, however, are lit practically. The costume repair shop had many of the distinct character suits (136 costumes total), all of which have paper-thin, radio-controlled lights integrated into the black molded rubber. The wiring is safe, and is described as being almost like silkscreening with light, run on nanolithium batteries that can power an electric car. The "lamps" are all Velcro so they can come off and be replaced when necessary. Sean's suit also has a built-in light disc, a parachute, and the legs have little round grenades in them, in case you're curious."

[Brian Braddock]

That's awesome man.

In an age were we run the risk of filmakers literally falling into the trap of almost just CG'ing everything, its nice to see some thought and effort still going into pushing the practical effect boundary's too.

I usually don't watch movies in 3D because I'm too damn lazy to get contact lenses and I wear huge nerd glasses, but I'm literally going next week to find a brand that I like so that by December I'll be used to wearing them.

I am also seriously considering dropping the cash on those headphones when they come out. **** looks so cash.

At the CEA Line Shows in New York City Monster took the stage to announce a ton of new products, the biggest announcement coming through a partnership with Disney. Monster has teamed with the media company to produce headphones inspired by Tron.

The new headphones are all black with Tron-esque blue highlights. Unlike most Monster headphones which focus on specific music genres, or for high-end clarity, these headphones seem more geared towards gamers. To help with this goal, the headphones will feature 7.1 surround sound, which is great for gaming, or just those who want to listen to music in surround sound. The headphones also feature an optional microphone, though it will also have ControlTalk should you not want to use it.

The headsets won’t be out until closer to the new film’s release, and likely will be fairly expensive. Given Monster’s previous headphones, however, they’ll likely produce some pretty good sound. Even so, the Tron design is intriguing, and could convince some people to get the headset over some others. These likely won’t be the only Tron-inspired headsets from Monster, or Tron inspired gadget period, as Disney seems intent on bringing Tron to many more products leading up to the release of Tron Legacy.

Speaking of the Disney Theme Parks, if you happen to be visiting Walt Disney World in Florida and going to the Epcot theme park currently or in the months to come -- look up at the monorails as they whizz by you overhead -- chances are you'll see that they are now TRON-O-RAILS, emulating imagery of the new light cycles from TRON: LEGACY.

28 years later -- TRON has truly come into its own: and the future of this great franchise -- with more movies and a TV animated series planned, along with new video-games, merchandise, and theme park experiences -- will make diving into this unique and exciting world more exhilarating and engaging than ever!

Some good news via EW:

'Tron: Legacy' exclusive: Disney looks to Pixar for help; hires screenwriters Michael Arndt and Brad Bird to beef up script


Joe Kosinski’s Tron: Legacy is getting a little help from above. EW.com has learned that the CG-extravaganza due out at the end of the year received some key input from some very brilliant filmmakers, mainly the elite brain trust at Pixar in Northern California. In late March, the Tron filmmakers chose to show a very early working cut of the film starring Garrett Hedlund and Jeff Bridges to Pixar’s John Lasseter, Ed Catmull, The Incredibles director Brad Bird, Toy Story 3 screenwriter Michael Arndt, and others. The one-day exercise was done in advance of some planned re-shoots scheduled for June with the intent of beefing up the very things that Pixar is so good at: character, emotion, and theme. Following the screening — and other viewings with various live-action filmmakers in Los Angeles — Disney hired Arndt and Bird to write some pages for the upcoming re-shoots, which lasted six days last month. Original writers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz (Lost) were also integral in the writing at this time.
“Tron is very much Joe Kosinski’s vision, a vision which is thrilling to me and I hope is thrilling to the fans,” said Sean Bailey, Disney’s president of production. “What I give Joe and the filmmaking team immense credit for, is this was all born out of how do we give the fans the best movie we can. We were very fortunate that Pixar wanted to play a part in it.”

So is this inter-studio collaboration a sign of things to come for Disney, under the new regime of studio head Rich Ross and Bailey? The answer seems to be yes. With Disney now essentially an umbrella company for not only Pixar but Marvel and Dreamworks Studios too, it makes a lot of sense. And Bailey, who was first a producer on Tron before being hired by Disney in January, is certainly encouraged by the positive experience of working with those famed filmmakers up north.
“Certainly being able to have an open dialogue with our formidable partners in Pixar, Marvel, and Dreamworks is really interesting to me.”

Tron: Legacy will bow on Dec. 17.

I kind of wish they had more definition in the hands/fingers instead of just the spandex-type material (something textured or glovelike), but that's just me being a picky fashion nerd, hurrrr.

Anywho, I'll shut up now, designs are awesome, suits are awesome, this whole damn movie's gonna be awesome :B

Man, that game was a pain in the ass. It wasn't hard, but it took forever too beat.

There's a fantastic shot of Sam in a similiar pose to Quorra in the new Empire magazine and it looks absolutely awesome.

Unfortunately, I dont have a scanner. :csad: :doh:

CraveOnline just failed EPICALLY. They have a video up that has what they claim to be the official Daft Punk Tron Legacy theme music. Well, I just sent them an email saying that, after much research on youtube, it's a fake. It's just another f-ing remix! I asked them to please either retitle the video properly or take it down as to avoid confusion.

Here's the video in question:

Just saw the trailer in IMAX before Inception. Trailer looked amazing.

i saw the trailer in IMAX with Inception too.... so i guess its officially gonna be in REAL imax format!!... at least the tron world is.. the beginning of the trailer was in standard
Same ol' trailer that's been out for awhile? I was really hoping to see some new glorious footage especially since there isn't any other IMAX movie out between now and Tron, that I want to see.
