More good news.. It seem that John Lassiter has taken a personal interest in the movie. jimhillmedia.com/blogs/jim_hill/archive/2008/07/31/toon-thursday-game-over-for-tron-s-first-director.aspx"Yep, the Chief Creative Officer of Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios has quite the soft spot when it comes to the original "TRON." Lasseter still remembers when he first saw this Steve Lisberger film. Which was back in 1981 when John was just a lowly animator toiling away on "Mickey's Christmas Carol." One lunch hour while wandering around the Disney lot, Lasseter came upon the trailers where all of the 16 X 20 Kodalith cels that were used in this 1982 production were stored. And it was here that John first saw "TRON" 's lightcycle sequence. And as Lasseter looked at this CG sequence ... "It absolutely blew me away! A little door in my mind opened up. I looked at it and said, `This is it! This is the future!'" Mind you, John was quite taken with the look of "TRON" (as well as -- of course -- that film's use of computer animation). But as for that movie's storyline ... Lasseter wasn't really a fan. He felt that Lisberger had missed some obvious opportunities to create a truly compelling piece of entertainment. Something that would have touched an audience's emotions as it dazzled their eyes." |

Yes he did!!! I saw the movie last Saturday and it blew me away!!! It’s brutal I love it!! It has the spirit of the first (bow) Tron, the dude (lol) and awesome effects (of course…). The disc fights are brutal (apparently my new favorite word) and the rides… brutal!! Ok I’m still kinda drugged by the film like it’s some kind of illicit substance!! Lol  PS: Daft Punk did a great job with the score. |
