I hadn't hear much about it but The Movie Blog mentions that it looks like Tron: The Next Chapter may actually be happening.
I'm willing to wager that most of you who read this here barely-about-transforming-crack at-the-moment site were either still individual sperm and ovum, in diapers, or barely out of diapers when 12 year old Nala was sitting at the Glenbyrne Cinema in Glass City watching Tron.
It is still one of my secret favorite movies and the fact that Steve Lisberger, the original creator will be involved is great news.
Lisberger also was instrumental in another favorite animated film of mine called Animalypics.
Bruce Kwakimota is still one of the best names for a bird karate champion ever!
Have you played Tron 2.0? I think it actually makes a decent sequel in story to the original film. My favorite part is how MA3A refers to Alan's son as Alan Two.
Back in the day -- where I am from -- there was this place where you could go to basically watch a movie on a VCR in your own private small room. You could buy popcorn even. It was of course in the days before VCRs in the home became abundant. I swear, every time we went there I wanted to watch Tron.
well, i was 5 when it came out, and i didn't get to see it until it was played on the disney channel when i was closer to age 7. i have to say i think it is totally awesome you saw it in the theatre! i have my fingers crossed that a new one will do it justice...
I, for one, am upset at the amount of attention it's renewed in Tron Guy. Once was enough.
Are you kidding me? I got to see Tron back in what I call "the glory days of cinema" when you could actually sit in a theater and be completely blown away by what you saw on the screen. I was 6 when I went to see it. It was about a month later when we got a bootlegged copy on VHS. My neighbor snuck in with his JVC VHS video camera and videoed the whole thing. He brought his VCR over to our house and and hooked it up to our VCR so he could make copies and I got to keep one. I was worried the FBI was going to catch us.
