Tron: Legacy
More evidence that Disney has run completely out of fresh ideas:

Granted, the visual effects would be vastly improved, but remakes are rarely ever better than the original. And "Tron" was VERY original.
This is the one case where I wish Disney would actually make a sequel, and the material was already available in the "Tron 2.0" video game. The game was pretty cool (although it certainly had its flaws), and I believe it would've made a very decent movie sequel.
Tron, for all its cheesiness and outdated visual effects, remains one of my favorite scifi movies. And Disney hires two unknown writers to script a remake? Great, just great. I just hope the remake won't make "Tron" another 4-letter word for "suck".

Augh, I hope they don't remake it. Some remakes I don't mind too much but this isn't one of those. I would be more up to the idea of a sequel as well.
Looking at that movie again within the last year I have to say that even though the special effects are a little outdated I think they have their charm. Some outdated effects bother me but not the ones in this movie.

I really hope Tron does get remade and I hope that Disney does a better job then the original one. I really thought Tron was great at the time during the 1982, which also brought graphics and computer graphics to a higher level. Tron was like Matrix at a different time but for the 1980's.

Well, I can never see the point of any remake - if it was good the first time, then you don't need to make it. If it was crap the first time, then why would you bother?goofystitch wrote:I just can't picture a remake of Tron in my mind. I can see pretty much any other Disney film being remade, but not Tron.
Tron has a special place for me, and it is one of the first (of very few) live-action Disney DVDs I have purchased. I would absolutely love to see a sequel to this, as it is certainly deserving of it. It would make sense to - if the world of Tron is technology based, a sequel would take place in a world of updated technology and a bigger, smarter A.I. menace. A remake could do the same thing, but a sequel would be much more fun.
Still, some remakes have outclassed their originals, and I'm not going to write this one off based on two articles. Either way, I'll look forward to seeing the result. If it is half as innovative as the original, then it should be good.

If it looks like the concept art for "Tron 2.0" on the "making of" on the 20th Anniversary DVD, it might be okay. If not, G.T.H.*, whomever you are!The Monkey's Uncle wrote:i am so sick of remakes. Disney is going to end up having the same catalog of movies TWICE! If its not broken dont fix it!

I can't imagine seeing this film remade. Yeah, I'll agree with everyone in that the special effects are out-dated, but I think they are perfect for the type of movie it is. It's early eighties, after all, and the majority of it takes place inside a computer, so I think it works perfectly.
So it would seem rather pointless to me if they remade it. What, the main character suddenly gets trapped inside a computer game? That was unique and interesting back then, but now? CGI is so. . . common these days. They'd really have to put a twist on the original concept to make it interesting.

Why, to make money ofcause. The Disney company of today is not interested in quality like in the old Walt Disney days. If they thougth that they could make money of it they would remake Snow White.
Disney has sold it soul for a dollars.

Requila, I don't think you're enlightening anyone here with this tidbit that you post so regularly. Everyone gets that Disney wants to make money and that movies make money. The issue for a lot of fans is is it justified/warranted? Feel free to join that discussion.reyquila wrote:I don't know.... Let's see.......How about it's an effort to make money....... DDDDUUUUHHHH

They want to make it, because they think that if they make it again, and make it even more modern, they will probablly get more money out of the box office on it, than when it origionally came out. That's what I think their reason is.

It appears the on-off-on-off again remake/sequel is back on again.

It's been over twenty five years since the original Tron flick took drive-in theaters by storm, but it looks like Tron fever may be sweeping the nation again in the next decade. According to film site Dark Horizons, Disney has plans to release a 3D sequel to the video game film, using the same technology in previous 3D efforts such as Chicken Little and The Nightmare Before Christmas.
The Hollywood Reporter previously wrote that Joseph Kosinski, currently said to be working on a Logan's Run remake, will be helming the project and that Lost writers Eddie Kitsis and Adam Horowitz would write the script. We just hope they haven't abandoned Tron's spandex roots. That, and that the discs are still deadly.

its really complicated..tron has achieved sort of a cult status among fans..but reintroducing it to a whole new generation is not a problem because this film is not exactly time-resistant.even i cant stand to watch the whole movie at one go nowadays..but remaking it might give it a lesser than special status.and if it flops..disney will have two failures in different era.besides nothing in its context would be special these days.CG elements...everybody's done that.its already part of our lives.
