I know what DVD I am getting out of storage tonight.

Shit sandwich.

This was all the adults acreaming in the video as they did when it first came out.

Hahahahaha

Can't wait!

I thought every self respecting film fan or geek knew about this when it happened at comic-con, I know I was telling every random person I bumped into at the pub.

I never thought of myself as a dedicated or better informed film buff (no idea what's even showing at the cinema this week), but I've seen this plastered over several non-movie websites/blogs for months now including the sneakily-filmed trailer.

Mine's the one with the neon blue tubing down the sleeves and keys to a light cycle in the pocket.

Tron Guy (http://www.tronguy.net/) will be able to make a new suit!

It's not like we haven't been waiting long enough for this! Sheesh, half the target audience weren't even born when the original came out.

PS. I'd forgotten how cool a light cycle is, now I WANT ONE all over again...

...maybe that explains all the XKCD references recently.

(trying to salvage geek cred since I had no idea this was under development....!)

You thought the lines for the spate of Star Wars movies was outrageous a couple years ago. Wait until this thing hit, I suspect a load of box office records will be obliterated.

Just which platform does it represent......

With all the falsh graphix and bling Its gotta be MAC....

LOL

It it was ASCII art I would think Linux and if a BSOD had appeared after the crash well Windows lol

When I saw that slow-motion jump onto the light cycle that appeared out of nowhere. I love the way the lightcycles are sleeker but not *too* sleek, and they turn graceful corners now. It does take some of the edge off race because the super-sharp 90-degree turns they did in the original are now gone, but they're so elegant that I can easily forgive that. And I was still watching that ride on the edge of my seat.

I simply cannot wait - this is one of my favourite childhood films (along with *Batteries Not Included [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092494/] - I think my parents knew I would be a geek long before I did).

But Jeff Bridges wasn't Tron, he was Flynn (Tron was played by Bruce Boxleitner). Surely this film should be called "Flynn" if the slightly greying Bruce isn't in it???

Now why does anyone think that a lousy motorcycle "race" is any more interesting by doing it in poor quality CGI?

Mine's the one with the stains that show up under black light...

TR10N (2 in binary)

Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse with a remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still - that looks like it will be more pants than MC Hammer. Unless, Jeff Bridges gets to type "7h3 d00d 4b1d35", in which case all will be forgiven ;)

I swear, if they even think about touching Explorers or Return of the Navigator, I quit...

At laaaaaast... Thinking back, Tron was the only Disney film that (for me) stood the test of time - I loved it as a yoof when we all had those aspirations and I loved it even more when it was shown on TV. Can't help but wonder if using crew from Lost is going to help but I can't wait for this sequel.

Oh - and "tron" was the name of a program, Jaowon... I always saw it as a form of immortality (my own may still exist somewhere in the code) ...they get upgraded sometimes.

that the OS in which they live isn't Vista, please?

I only complain about the title. And while I agree that Flight of the Navigator need not to be touched, I do remember that Explorers was never really finished!

Then again, most remakes have been epic fails... though not all of them. Ocean's Eleven (the new one) 0wns the original with its ending.

Forget Tron, where's Ender's Game already? Hollywood my arse.

...the world represented is Amiga. Screw all you fanbois! :-) I'm just another religious fanatic.

Paris, screwing fanbois.

So that means the game's officially non-canon now?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tron_2.0

Sometimes things capture a moment, at the risk of sounding arty and pretentious, the zeitgeist. Tron did that, it means a lot to sad geeks like me, who played on 8bits and arcade machines and ultimately got me into IT and fair killed my chances of any meaningful career path. The graphics look a little dated now, but that's it's charm, the next one will be CGI'd to the limit but have no real soul. A sad day....

Has there ever been a pr0n version of Tr0n?

...have never seen tron!

Mines the asbestos one, quickly, before I get flamed for my ignorance...

I still use "Greetings" when i meet people, i just dont say the full "Greetings Programs" :)

/coat mines the blue one with a frisbee on the back

So, Disneywood has finally reached the bottom of the crap barrel. They've re-made everything with CGI, badly, including this obscure but noteworthy title. Why do good films get re-made, and bad ones get sequels?

T2ON represents the point where the CGI monster starts to chow down on its own tail.

Can we now look forward to a golden age of fresh ideas? I for one would welcome our new creatively original entertainment industry.

I suppose this means the guys at http://www.armagetronad.net/ will be getting a lawyer's letter, and a fairly fun multiuser network game will be disappeared.

...will Wendy Carlos be doing the music again?
