Amph END OF LINE: TRON, Uprising, Legacy & Ares

I'm very doubtful about any Tron 3 at this point, unfortunately. As soon as Disney bought LFL, the reason for Tron's existence disappeared in a puff of smoke.

 

I hope you're right, honestly. I want to see the Dillinger Jr. stuff resolved, for one. Maybe all they need is another few bombs in their new live action remake franchise to start looking at Tron again.

 

Yeah if Pirates 5 bombs & I think it will (that trailer looks bad) we may get TR3N.

 

Pirates 4 still made some decent money as far as worldwide numbers go iirc. For that matter, so have the Transformer movies. And the last one was not good. I'd pump the brakes on claiming/predicting that the next pirates film will bomb.

Besides the fanbase not being that large I think the big problem Legacy faced was the come down from Avatar, audiences/critics were like guilty children who had eaten too much of Camerons sugar and the next tent pole 3D film suffered as a result.

Honestly Legacy has rather grown on me with time, I still think its lacking in the middle act and the world itself isn't perhaps that deep but its a film that does bring a high degree of originality to an existing property. Kosinski's architecture background and Daft Punk doing the soundtrack is an excellent combination.

 

Alice in Wonderland was the next 3D tentpole after Avatar, and it benefited from the new love for 3D. It was a post conversion, but most people didn't know or care.

 

Wasn't Tron2 a dodgy 3D conversion job anyway?

 

Partly. A few scenes where filmed in 3D. Some was conversion.

 

What Tron3 was going to be about

What I’m excited about is the concept, which is an invasion movie from inside the machine coming out as opposed to one we’ve usually seen. So we hinted at that at the end of Legacy with Quorra coming out, but the idea for Ascension was a movie that was, the first act was in the real world, the second act was in the world of TRON, or multiple worlds of TRON, and the third act was totally in the real world. And I think that really opens up, blows open the concept of TRON in a way that would be thrilling to see on screen. But there’s also a really interesting character study in Quorra and a “Stranger in a Strange Land,” trying to figure out where she belongs having lived in the real world for a few years, and where does she fit in.

 

Honestly, the one part of Legacy that I was not a fan of was the idea of programs entering the real world. It's doggedly literal and would become absurd very quickly, IMHO.

 

We had 28 years in between Tron and Tron: Legacy, so a gap isn't unprecedented, but we're approaching 7 years since Legacy, and I'm just not optimistic at this point. Legacy worked as a next-gen thing, but it needed--sorta demanded--a direct sequel, and I just think too much time has passed. Throw in the one and done of Uprising and I just can't see Disney saying "Let's throw some of that MUC and Star Wars money at Tron.". I hope I'm wrong, and if they go forward, I want Kosinski in the director's chair.

 

If POTC DMTNT does poorly they may go back to Tron.

 

I am truly hoping this is just a silly rumor

Tron. Reboot. Starting from scratch. Jared Leto.

 

^^^^^^^Yes!

The election, not the rumors.

 

While I was hoping for more Tron news, this isn't what I was expecting. And compared to Tron 3, it sounds worse (great, another reboot/remake). Not sure if I should be happy the Tron franchise isn't quite dead (I wish Disney would have spent Tomorrowland's budget on Tron instead), or be worried about the news. Oh well, could just be random rumors (and even if it isn't, Disney could change their minds again easily).

 

It's so some Hollywood snob writer, director, actor, editor, producer or a combination of my list can put there own spin on a story. (Sometimes)

 

Yep, would rather be seeing a sequel involving Sam and Quorra, than starting from scratch. If they actually go ahead with a new entry with Leto as the lead to reboot it, then this franchise ended with two movies and the TV series on Disney (which was cancelled) for me.

 

I would really like another Tron movie.
