I lvoe the light cycles both old and new but agree with comments on that board. They should have kept the right angle turns as that was part of the magic of Tron.......


But looking at the bikes I wonder if that kind of reclining shape would work for a real bike?


Ok I'm off to watch Wedlocked + Wing Commander

Disney to release 'Tron' against 'Hornet'

Disney has set a December 17, 2010 release date for Tron Legacy, putting it in direct competition with Sony's The Green Hornet.

The Seth Rogen superhero movie, which is currently in production, was pushed from a summer 2010 slot this week by the studio.

Sony's 3D Smurfs movie is also scheduled to open on the same day, although the studio is likely to shift the date to avoid competition with its own Green Hornet and Warner Bros animation Yogi Bear, reports Variety.

Tron Legacy, a continuation of Disney's visual effects-pioneering 1982 film, will see original star Jeff Bridges joined by Garrett Hedlund, Michael Sheen and Olivia Wilde.

Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Disney is going to blow my mind in 2010.

Will Bruce Boxleitner be reprising his role as Tron or is this just a cameo as Alan Bradley?

Jeff Bridges returns as the heroic and iconic Kevin Flynn, as well as Bruce Boxleitner as Alan Bradley/Tron!

Even though the original Tron movie wasn't all that good, I was a fan of it nonetheless, I love the concept. I found it far more fascinating than The Matrix with all its gratuitous violence. And who can forget the legendary Flynn, the computer programer genius?

I'm thrilled that in the latest craze with Hollywood remakes now-a-days, the producers of Tron have decided to break with that formula and do a continuation instead, and that is refreshing to see.

There are six screenwriters for this film: Lee Sternthal, Steven Lisberger, the previous director to the original returns as one of the screenwriters and producers, writer and actor Brian Klugman (who is the nephew of legendary actor Jack Klugman), Richard Jefferies, and Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz who wrote episodes for Lost. After 28 years, I am confident that the writers have come up with a very good story so I have high hopes for this one. Bring it on, baby!

I'm still excited for this. Can't wait.

Agreed!

I'm still excited for this. Can't wait.

Its hard to believe a sequel is actually coming. The first being such a achievement in CGI.

the bikes turned normally after they escape the arena in tron, they also lost the 'trail' but lets not quibble

[Coco Pops]

Something I never thought of till now.

In the original Flynn is sucked into the computer, and in the new movie an older flynn is again sucked somehow into the computer.

Just how much memory space is needed to store a person seeing as they're not a program?

Just how much memory space is needed to store a person seeing as they're not a program?

an estimate based on computing when tron was made...................... 32k
