Tron Legacy Sequels

[SpitCurl]

You leave Sam Flynn's strut walk alone.

Can't help it. It's a really odd thing to fixate on, but it's hilarious. I've been around jocks, I'm a bit of a "jerk" myself (jock-slash-nerd), and not a single one of us walk like we've got a duece prairie-doggin' it between the cheeks.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

sams walk is that of a jock. a guy with nothing to lose.

hos character is a little stiff though and before he's on the grid he does that head turned a bit while delivering dialog that some actors do. its distracting but he got better as the movie progressed.

I honestly liked the character of Sam Flynn and thought Hedlund did well in the role, I have never liked him in anything I have seen him in but liked him in this and really dont get the critiques of his character or acting.

And about the walk, those suits must have been tight!

Disney XD to Premiere Tron: Uprising on May 18

Disney XD delves inside the computer world of The Grid and the people who live there with TRON: Uprising, a visually striking new animated television series that follows the heroic journey of a new character, a young program named Beck, who becomes the unlikely leader of a revolution. The series, produced in CG animation with a 2D aesthetic, is set in the era of TRON between the stories in the 1982 feature film and Walt Disney Studios' TRON: Legacy. Disney Channel will present TRON: Uprising, Beck's Beginning, a 30-minute uninterrupted prelude to the series on FRIDAY, MAY 18 (9:30– 10:00 p.m., ET/PT). The special will encore uninterrupted on Disney XD on MONDAY, MAY 21(7:00 p.m. ET/PT), followed by the series launch on THURSDAY, JUNE 7 (9:00 p.m.) on Disney XD.

TRON: Uprising stars Elijah Wood as Beck, Bruce Boxleitner as Tron, Mandy Moore as Mara, Emmanuelle Chriqui as Paige, Nate Corddry as Zed, Lance Henriksen as General Tesler, Reginald VelJohnson as Able, Paul Reubens as Pavel and Tricia Helfer as The Grid.

Produced by Disney Television Animation, the series is executive-produced and directed by Charlie Bean (Robotboy, Samurai Jack and Powerpuff Girls) with Edward Kitsis, Adam Horowitz (both screenwriters of TRON: Legacy and executive producers of ABC's Lost and Once Upon a Time) and Justin Springer (co-producer of TRON: Legacy) as consulting producers. The music is composed by Joseph Trapanese (TRON: Legacy).

TRON: Uprising, Beck's Beginning introduces Beck, a young mechanic living in Argon City, a growing metropolis in a far off corner of The Grid that has just been occupied by General Tesler, a henchman of the notorious Clu. After his best friend Bodhi is ruthlessly derezzed by Clu's army, Beck seeks justice for his lost friend and launches a crusade against the regime. His rebellion captures the attention of Tron, the greatest warrior The Grid has ever known, who sees the potential in Beck and trains him to be his successor. Labeled with the moniker of The Renegade, Beck sparks a revolution to fight for the freedom of The Grid.

The multiplatform premiere schedule is as follows:

From Variety:
Tune-up for 'Tron' toon

"If I was going to do an animated version of 'Tron,' I didn't want it to feel like a cheap version of the movies," said "Uprising" exec producer and director Charlie Bean. "For the 12-year-old in me, this is what I would want to see."

'Tron: Uprising' nurses a franchise - Animated series on Disney XD could help lead to third film

"Tron: Legacy" grossed $400 million worldwide in 2010 and launched a successful line of consumer products as well as a theme park attraction at California Adventure. Now Disney hopes the latest spinoff of the 30-year-old "Tron" property -- the animated TV series "Tron: Uprising" -- finds a new, younger fanbase as the Mouse House develops a third film for the bigscreen.

Disney chief Bob Iger may not necessarily have had "Tron" in mind when he said he wants the studio to focus on launching tentpoles that can prop up all of the conglom's divisions, but he just may have a franchise on his hands nevertheless.

Kids cabler Disney XD is launching "Tron: Uprising" on June 7 with an immediate goal of appealing to the channel's target audience of 6- to 14-year-old boys.

The 3-year-old network is putting considerable coin behind the Disney Television Animation production, the channel's most expensive series to date. It features pricey CG animation produced in Tokyo, characters voiced by Elijah Wood, Bruce Boxleitner, Mandy Moore, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Nate Corddry, Lance Henriksen, Reginald VelJohnson, Tricia Helfer and Paul Reubens, as well as vehicle designs by Bugatti car designer Daniel Simon.

It's joining a schedule that features a Marvel block of toons "The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes" and "Ultimate Spider-Man," along with "Motorcity" and live-action shows like "Lab Rats.""Tron: Legacy" scribes and exec producers of ABC's "Lost" and "Once Upon a Time" Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz and "Legacy" co-producer Justin Springer serve as consulting producers. "Legacy" composer Joseph Trapanese returns for the music.

The show's slick impressionistic look borrows liberally from the style of Japanese anime that's influenced other hit animated series like Cartoon Network's "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" and "ThunderCats," with its elongated characters designed to resemble basketball players, according to "Uprising's" exec producer and director Charlie Bean, whose credits include "Samurai Jack" and "Powerpuff Girls."

"The first film was a massive influence on me," Bean said. "If I was going to do an animated version of 'Tron,' I didn't want it to feel like a cheap version of the movies. We stylized it in a way you couldn't in a movie. For the 12-year-old in me, it's what I would want to see."

"Aeon Flux" also was an influence, with its lanky athletic characters fitting into the permanent midnight world Bean wanted to create with art director Alberto Mielgo and character designer Rob Valley (the Gorillaz musicvideos).

The show was developed with its young target audience in mind, through the introduction of a new character, Beck, a rebellious teen who leads a revolution against the evil Clu and his army.

Series also includes several strong female characters. "I hope this has a female audience, too," Bean said. "That was very interesting to me."

Disney also wants to satisfy existing fans, setting "Uprising" in between the two "Tron" films, revealing what happened to the citizens of the computer world the Grid after Clu takes control. Tron trains Beck to lead a revolt to free his home and friends.

It's no coincidence that the plot aims to fill the gaps of what was only touched upon in the most recent pic.

"We wanted to create something that would satisfy the loyal 'Tron' fanbase but also give new viewers the chance to enter the 'Tron' universe for the first time and understand it if they didn't see the movies," Horowitz said, while not straying too far from what the scribes established for feature follow-ups.

Naturally, Walt Disney Studios hopes "Uprising's" initial order of 18 episodes prove a strong enough ratings performer to help greenlight a sequel to "Legacy" that David DiGilio (who penned the Disney pic "Eight Below" and created the short-lived series "Traveler) is writing.

Horowitz and Kitsis had planned on returning to write the follow-up but will produce instead while serving as showrunners on "Once Upon A Time's" second season.

Disney already has revved up its marketing machine for the show, producing what it calls a 30-minute "prelude" episode that introduces Beck to auds that aired on Disney Channel, Disney XD, Disney XD On Demand, YouTube, Disney XD's Facebook page and iTunes as a free download before the show's launch. The episode airs tonight.

Following the premiere, "Tron: Uprising" will be showcased via Disney XD on Demand, DisneyXD.com, Disney XD Mobile, on the Sony PlayStation and Xbox 360 videogame consoles and iTunes.

Disney XD also has split up the prelude into 10 micro-episodes that turn it into part interactive video and game where users take on the role of Beck and help him fight to become the next hero of the grid. Games like "Renegade Strike" will launch on DisneyXD.com after episode airings.

"This show is the perfect way to take advantage of all opportunities for our audiences while appealing to their families, too," said Gary Marsh, president and chief creative officer of Disney Channels Worldwide. "It's expensive, yes, but I kept pushing our team to come up with something that hadn't been seen before. It's the kind of risk we feel is worth taking."

 

[Octoberist]

It's funny. If a third Tron movie makes the green light, I would say that the Tron series is probably the most uneven and luckiest film series to date.

 

[Gianakin_]

I just hope Tron 3 doesn't happen in 2038. I liked Hedlund in TL, but he's not as cool as Bridges now and he won't become the coolest old man ever when he's old.

TRON: Uprising is showing up at Comic-Con this year, I wonder if they will announce something of a sequel for Tron Legacy...

 

[Gabe99]

Bruce Boxleitner on Tron 3 : ‘It’s not an If, it’s a when’

A third “TRON” movie will definitely happen, series star Bruce Boxleitner says.

“It’s not an if, it’s a when”, the veteran actor is quoted as saying in this month’s issue of SciFiNow magazine, adding that the movie has been in development for quite some time now.

The actor expects he’ll definitely be asked back to reprise Alan Bradley when the sequel emerges from development and transitions into the production phase. “I think Alan Bradley is a very important character, as well as Tron certainly. With one you get the other, I’m very excited about [Tron 3's] prospects.”

Boxleitner says he’s been pulled up by the brass at Disney before for prematurely announcing that another “Tron” was in the works, but believes speaking out of line may also be helping the film’s chances. It was the actor that first let slip that a second sequel to the 1982 film was in the works; the slip led the head of production at Disney to say, albeit tongue-in-cheek, “I guess we’ll have to make this now”.

Whether the big men follow through with their promise is another thing. If it happens, the actor says “he’s there” if Disney also decides they want him to reprise Tron, as well as Bradley.

 

[Quasimod0]

Sweet, great news. Seems like this guy is always saying that though

 

[MadVillainy]

I really want a new Tron just with a better script. I liked Legacy a lot

 

[Gianakin_]

Can't wait for a Tron 3.

From DEADLINE Friday June 24, 2011:
Last H.O.P.E. at Showtime: Dave Digilio (Tron sequel) is writing/exec producing the project about the Last Hospital On Planet Earth.
From DEADLINE Monday October 29, 2012:
Shonda Rhimes To Produce Android Sci-Fi Thriller For ABC Written By Dave DiGilio

DiGilio, creator of the ABC series Traveler, recently sold one-hour post-apocalyptic drama project Last Hope through Parkes/MacDonald.
In features, he most recently wrote the Tron sequel at Disney.

He is with UTA and Industry. MILA 2.0 joins two other two projects ICM Partners-repped Shondaland has at ABC, comedy I Hate LA Dudes from writer Issa Rae and comedic drama The Mix written by John Hoffman. With Rhimes busy shepherding three series she created — Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal and departing Private Practice — she and her producing partner Beers focused on developing with other writers this season.

I assume the script is finished and just waiting for a green light from the studio and for Joseph Kosinski to finish Oblivion.

 

[Gianakin_]

Nice to see it's still alive.

Nice to see it's still alive.

Agreed!

OSCARS: Animating ‘Wreck-It Ralph’

Awards talk aside, Wreck-It Ralph’s success vindicates Disney’s long-held faith in the idea of an animated feature about videogames, which stretches back to the 1990s when the studio tried to develop projects with titles like Game On and Joe Jump. The idea still appealed to Disney Features Animation chief Lasseter in 2008, when he suggested it to studio newcomer Moore.

 

[KenK]

If another Tron sequel gives us more Daft Punk music, I'm all for it!!!

 

[Darkness Falls]

HAS A NEW DAFT PUNK TRACK BEEN LEAKED?

The internet is buzzing with news that a previously unheard Daft Punk track may have been leaked.

A song called 'Emphazed' has made its way onto YouTube and it's being claimed that the track is a brand new jam from electro's most famous duo.

The authenticity of the tune has the Mixmag office split. Some of us reckon it's a right duff, while others think it does bear some classic Daft Punk qualities.

We couldn't get the boys on the blower but some fans aren't convinced. Top electro blog HarderBloggerFaster.com reckons: "The dude who uploaded it emailed it to me a couple of days ago - too generic for me. If real it would have been taken down by now."

So... What do you lot think?

Daft Punk - Emphazed (leaked version 2013)

 

[Soapy]

On one hand, I think that sounds too similar to Tron for it to be a leaked track from their new album, but on the other hand... when tracks from Human After All leaked people thought those were fakes too.

 

[Gianakin_]

Great song. Reminiscent of the one from Tron Legacy where they go at that club to meet Zuse.
