[quote]Tron Legacy[2][3] is a forthcoming 2010[4] science fiction film. It is a sequel to the 1982 film Tron. Joseph Kosinski is directing the film, while the previous film director, Steven Lisberger, returns as a producer. Jeff Bridges will reprise his role as Kevin Flynn, while Garrett Hedlund will portray Flynn's now-adult son, Sean.[5] The other cast members include Bruce Boxleitner, Olivia Wilde, Beau Garrett and John Hurt.[1] According to the teaser trailer shown at the 2008 and 2009 Comic Con, the film will be presented in Disney Digital 3-D and IMAX 3D.
The primary shooting location of the film was in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Test footage of the film was shown at the 2008 and 2009 San Diego Comic Con.[6][/quote]
[b]For people who dont know what tron is ([u]go jump in a river[/u])[/b] SPOILER ALERT
[quote]Kevin Flynn is a young and gifted programmer who once worked for the software corporation ENCOM, creating several video games on the company's mainframe after hours, aiming to start his own game company. However, another programmer, Ed Dillinger, locked Flynn out of the system and presented Flynn's work as his own. Dillinger earned himself a series of executive promotions, while Flynn was relegated to working at a video game arcade, featuring the games that he created. Flynn tries to hack into the ENCOM mainframe to find evidence of Dillinger's wrongdoing, but his program is caught and defeated by the Master Control Program (MCP).
The MCP, with Dillinger's authorization, shuts down access to the security group Flynn was using, inadvertently locking out another ENCOM employee, Alan Bradley. Alan goes to speak to Dillinger and reveals that he was working on a security program, Tron, which would monitor communications between the MCP and the outside world. After Alan leaves, the MCP confronts Dillinger about this, stating that it cannot afford to have programs monitoring it. It reveals its intention to break into the Pentagon and other military mainframes, claiming it can run things "900 to 1200 times better than any human." When Dillinger attempts to assert his authority, the MCP essentially blackmails him into complying with its wishes.
Meanwhile, Alan and his girlfriend, Dr. Lora Baines, warn Flynn that he's been noticed, but Flynn instead convinces them to sneak him into ENCOM's laser laboratory, where he can forge access to a different security group. Lora, who has been developing a method of digitizing real objects into the computer, sets Flynn down at her terminal in the laser lab, where a laser is pointed directly at the terminal. As Flynn attempts to break into the system, he is confronted by the MCP, who takes control of the laser and suddenly digitizes Flynn into the ENCOM mainframe. Flynn finds himself standing in the digital world, where Programs resemble their human creators, the Users.
Flynn is taken first to a holding pit, where he meets the Program Ram, and then is taken with a number of other Programs to meet Sark. Sark then informs everyone that they can either renounce their belief in the Users and join the MCP, or they will be forced to play games that result in their eventual elimination. Flynn eventually meets Tron (Alan's program), and he, Tron and Ram escape from the Light Cycle arena into the system, prompting Sark to send out his forces in pursuit. Eventually, a tank fires at the group, killing Ram and separating Flynn and Tron.
Tron makes his way to an input-output tower, where he receives instructions from Alan on how to destroy the MCP. He then makes a getaway aboard a Solar Sailer simulation with the help of Yori (Lora's program), and is reunited with Flynn, disguised as one of Sark's forces. At this point, Flynn reveals that he is actually a User. Sark's ship then collides with the Solar Sailer, capturing Flynn and Yori. While Tron is believed to have been destroyed in the collision, he in fact escapes aboard Sark's shuttle. Sark de-rezzes his command ship, but Flynn manages to keep it and Yori alive, and he pilots the ship toward the MCP.
The MCP has gathered a number of Programs and tells them that they will become a part of it. Sensing Tron's presence nearby, the MCP sends Sark out to investigate, resulting in a battle between Sark and Tron. Tron gains the upper hand and severely damages Sark, prompting the MCP to transfer its functions to its commander and causing him to grow to enormous size. Tron begins attacking the MCP directly, but his attacks are blocked by a shield. Flynn then jumps into the MCP's cone to distract it long enough for Tron to throw his disc into the core. This destroys both MCP and Sark and frees the system, and Flynn is sent back to the terminal in ENCOM's laser lab, where a nearby printer is printing the evidence he needs to prove Dillinger's wrongdoing.
Dillinger comes into work the next morning to find the MCP non-functional and the same evidence displayed on his screen. Flynn later becomes the new CEO of ENCOM.[/quote]

This was all announced in Comic Con and right now im shitting my pants waiting :D
Have been a great fan of Tron, it really blowed my mind when i watched Numero #1
Isnt daft punk doing the music or something sweet?
edit: Hey he edited the daft punk thing in after I wrote this asshole.
Never heard of it, but it looks cool.
Watching the movie back then was so awesome. Just sitting in a dark, non-lit room and having the screen filled with neon colors.
Orgasm has been achieved.
Cannot wait for this...
Did Tron really need a sequel?
Maybe not. But it still looks fairly interesting. Although some small part of me is a little sad they made it look so considerably different from the old movie. It doesn't have the same feel.
I want to go put on my lightcycle shirt.
[QUOTE=Caps lock;16280341]Did Tron really need a sequel?[/QUOTE]
Possibly, but i would've thought for a remake, the movie was waay to early for its time.
[QUOTE=Caps lock;16280341]Did Tron really need a sequel?[/QUOTE]
No.
But it's sure as hell gonna be fucking awesome.
I don't like how it's esentially gone from old 90's game graphics to next gen.
I can't wait for this, I saw the bootlegged trailer a while ago and it's nice to see that it's had some progress since then.

What made Tron awesome was its cheesy graphics. I don't think that this is gonna be as good as the original movie.
Also the real persons don't blend in so well with the 3D graphics anymore.

Same as the light cycles being able to turn at a curve instead of just a sharp turn, that's going to arse up the game that'll no doubt come out.
Tron is based in a video game basically, video games get better, so it makes sense the graphics would improve.
not that hard to figure out.

[b]Fuck yes.[/b]

Except graphics of a game don't improve themselves.
a new game perhaps?
No they're going back into the same one if the plots still the same as the one on wikipedia.
Wikipedia, enough said.
Saw the trailer for it a year ago. Back when it was called TRN2

Any relationship? I believe this is the same one if I'm not mistaken.

Fuck yeah. THAT is the Tron sequel.
Also, Tron is an awesome movie and has aged surprisingly well.

Not at all. This is a computer game released a few years earlier.
The topic of this thread is an unrelated movie.
Oh my god this is awesome. Thanks for posting this thread, didn't know they do a movie!
It looks freakin [b]AWESOME[/b]
really looking forward to this one
Really hope they don't screw this up. Tron is one of my favorite movies.
