Must have been a massive laser to get that into the real world considering the laser Sam and others have used were much smaller
Tron: Ares
- Thread starter WarpFactorZ
- Start date
I remember this after Tron Legacy came out. It gave us fans hope for a 3rd movie. We got one but maybe not exactly what we wanted. We'll see.
I believe it's the classic erotic writer Anaïs Nin. “How wrong is it for a program to expect the user to build the world it wants, rather than to create it itself?”
(Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to search for the Anaïs Nine Inch Nails mash-up surely someone has already thought of writing at some point in the past thirty-five years. Ah, disappointing. It appears to have gone no further than the odd novelty t-shirt. I was hoping for a parody combining, I don't know, "March of the Pigs" and The Four-Chambered Heart. Sadly, I'm even less familiar with the particulars of Nin's work than I am with NIN's, so I can't make this exist myself.)

I have never seen Tron or Tron Legacy and this trailer does absolutely nothing to make me want to go see the movie. This might be a total flop.
If the movie really does completely dump all the plot points from Legacy, then maybe we'll at least get a comic or novel or something that brings them Ares into line with it. I didn't realize until I was looking at the movie's Wikipedia page and saw that Gillian Anderson's character is Elizabeth Dillinger, so I'm she must be Ed Sr.'s daughter, which them begs the question of whether or not she'll be treated as an only child.
Having heard of it a few times, I finally got curious enough to look it up on Wikipedia.
My immediate reaction: "I don't think so."
Tron: Legacy was enough of a disappointment. I think I'll stick with the original.
(In the interest of full disclosure, I will note that I'm a Wendy Carlos fan, that I'm indifferent at best to Daft Punk, and that the thought of Nine Inch Nails scoring this installment leads to thoughts of nine inch nails on a chalkboard.)

No because Evan Peters is playing Julian Dellinger, so presumably he's also Ed Sr.'s child.
Also, it should be noted, there's no source on Gillian's character name. Granted, there isn't one for Peters either but it had already been previously reported that Peters is playing Julian Dellinger whereas this is the only place I've seen Gillian's character name mentioned.
I mean, jumping in on the third film seems strange any way.
For anyone interested, the first two films and the animated series are available on Disney+.
I absolutely loved Tron: Legacy. The animation was somewhat choppy and primitive, but the story rocked.
You mean Tron: Uprising. And I agree. I loved the story and how well Tron was utilized in the story. I'm still bitter about Disney's treatment of the series (constant rescheduling, resulting in terrible ratings, and then ultimately canceling the series due to poor ratings).
UPRISING! Yes, sorry. Getting the titles confused. 
I so wished they had done more with it. Seems that they didn't quite know how to market genre shows to a slightly more adult-oriented audience, which I was always under the impression was the whole purpose of Disney XD. Does that channel even exist anymore? I know they shut it down in a bunch of international markets in recent years. Seems they still haven't figured out how to use it properly. More's the pity...

They are both fun movies. They are visual delights.
It doesn't look like Boxleitner is coming back for this as after the third film was initially cancelled a decade ago back when it was going to be a direct sequel to Legacy, he was disappointed over the news and because of this, had ended his involvement in the franchise.

Sounds like another fine example of Disney making another veteran actor bitter about their tactics and strategies. It seems like there's quite a few actors in hollywood that feel that way especially about Marvel and Star Wars.
Exclusive: Bruce Boxleitner On 'Tron 3' -
Bruce Boxleitner was at the Hallmark Channel’s Television Critics Association summer press tour party for his TV series Cedar Cove. I interviewed him about the current season, and then brought up the cancellation of TRON 3 by Disney. Now, even though the recent version of the film is dead...

Fine piece of journalism there. Quoting Bruce Boxleiter as Bradley. 
That said, I don't blame him one bit. Between the terrible treatment of Uprising to the delays and the ultimate cancelation of the Legacy sequel, I would be fed up, too. I also appreciate his feelings about no longer being interested in revisiting his past characters.

I saw that. But it is a shame that Disney has pretty much tacitly decided that the story and characters that were originally laid out was basically scrapped in favor of this new thing. I'll watch it, but I'm not holding out much hope for the franchise at this point. Not a big fan of Jared Leto at all, either. I find him to be quite repulsive. The only thing I think I ever really liked him in was "Lord of War", but he only had a supporting role in that.
I feel exactly the same way (except the one film with Leto I liked is Blade Runner 2049 and despite him).
