Originally Posted By mapleservo The original Tron was amazing - we've got the deluxe DVD and it's unbelievable how much effort it took to make that movie. A sequel would be cool, but I'll be interested to see how it looks - the look of the original would seem pretty dated today, and yet if they update it, it could wind up looking like just another CGI movie. Good to hear Bridges is involved though.

I wonder if they'll be doing a Fathom Events rerelease (a la this week's "War Games" one-night reappearance) to try set up the sequel by first introducing the original to anyone under, say, 40 years old?
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo I love TRON with a vengance. It really was an amazing movie and it still holds up very well now. I have mixed emotions on this anouncement - one one level, I am really excited at the prospect, on the other hand I am worried they will ruin it. We won't know until it comes out, buy my fingers are crossed hoping for the best.

Originally Posted By Lil Mermaid I'm stoked. One of my first memories was having to watch that film over and over again with my older obsessed cousin.
