I'm so glad he brought up Tron. I'm eager to see the updated version of that world. I loved the original.. and the only films that dare touched onto such a world was the Matrix trilogy. I despised all three of those films (yes, even the first one, which opens up with a mysterious cool action scene but then spends the next hour and a half explaining it)

I can't wait for Tr2N

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man...

Best. Reply. Ever.

I love Jeff Bridges. One of my favorite actors. Great voice, hilarious as hell, charismatic... Anything he's in I'll be interested in.

Has anyone seen Tideland I believe it was called? The most recent Terry Gilliam movie starring him. Most disturbing film ever. Whee, I'm fantasizing I have magical adventures in my decaying dead father's rib cage!

I've never seen Starman though, is it any good?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Interesting...Jeff talked about motion capture with the new Tron.

Spoiler: Tron2 preview

Looks like the computer world is completely CGI this time around (not people wearing suits and having to re-composit the same scene six times, etc.), including the programs, but they have the faces of their Users 'projected' onto the front of their helmets. Which is apparently how Clu, if that was indeed Clu, can have the face of 1982-era Bridges.

I love tron and I'm really looking forward to TR2N.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

I'm really, really looking forward to see TR2N and I'm glad Bridges is excited about doing it again.

If Tr2n comes out in 2010-11, that's 28-29 years between movies. Has there ever been more time between sequels? There was a 25 year gap between The Hustler and The Color of Money.

When Tron came out Bridges weighed, like, 150. Now he's like, I dunno, 225? Has their ever been a character played by the same actor twice with that much of a weight difference?

Steven Seagal wants to make Under Siege 3. Seeing as how he can't even do his own stunts anymore, if US3 is a reality, that could be the biggest.

Dan Akroyd in Blues Brothers 2000, I'm sure there's many others.

Seeing that the real life person has went through those changes why is this so strange? I'm assuming it isn't set a couple of months after the original.

 

[Samurai8472]

Tron 2 will be killer on bluray and IMAX

 

[Aragorn]

You know, seeing as how the movie is still called Tron and all, shouldn't Bruce Boxleitner be coming back?

Strictly speaking, some of the Disney direct-to-video sequels (Cinderella II, Bambi II) would smoke that.

Wasn't there a direct-to-video sequel to Casablanca fifteen or twenty years ago?

Superman Returns was a sequel to Superman II, that's 26 years...
