Apparently Jeff Bridges is currently filming Tron 2 - Legacy.

I'm in two minds about this, Hollywood is far too obsessed with remakes right now, often sacrificing everything that made the brand good purely for the sake of tagging the name onto the movie.

Looks interesting though...

I do get visions of Jeff walking out of a building, staring at the road for a moment and saying..

'Dude, where's my light-cycle?'

You forgot the excerpts:

[Colonol Dekker]

I'm not bothered either way as i love the original. As a hardcore nostalgist nothing will measure up to the feeling of youth i experience when watching original classics like Thundercats Ho! and Transformers the movie or Tron. The best bit of Transformers was Megan Fox anyway....

I'll give it a look-see when it's out but i'm in no rush

[Flipside]

The CGI, at least, looks like it's been kept faithful to the original, but I can't look at Jeff without thinking of 'The Architect' from the Matrix.

I check IMDB's future movie lists every now and then, and I think that Tron 2 is the least of our worries.

How many signs of the apocolypse does one need, anyway?

There was only one title that didn't disturb me: Riddick.

How are they going to have The Hobbit and The Hobbit 2 in the same year?  How the hell are they even going to have a Hobbit 2!

Whoops, just noticed that the Hobbit is 2011, not 2012.

Anyway, I wouldn't mind a Halo movie, provided they get it right (which I admit isn't very likely).

[colecampbell666]

Why are they all 2012?

[Scotty]

Signs of the apocalypse.

I think people are just snapping up copyright licenses for profit to be honest, and maybe you can only hold the licence for 3 years without doing anything on it, so a lot of these films are listed for 3 years time to maximise the possibility of earning lots of money by selling the license on.

[Galemp]

Tron was never a 'good' movie, but damn did it have style.

I'm gonna see it, twice.

I wonder if Syd Mead is still on board?

[Liberator]

What I haven't seen commented on is that the little bit with Jeff Bridges in it during the trailer/vfx thingy was terminated with a gunshot, which assumes that his character commits suicide.

[karajorma]

How the hell are they even going to have a Hobbit 2!

They split the book in two and included more of the unseen stuff about the white council driving the Necromancer out of Dol Guldur apparently.

[Snail]

They did that? It's going to suck.

[karajorma]

*Bookmarks those words to make Snail eat them at a later date*

[SpardaSon21]

Peter Jackson is involved in the Hobbit movies so that's a guarantee that they won't completely suck.  Of course, they could still moderately suck.

[Snail]

Peter Jackson is involved in the Hobbit movies so that's a guarantee that they won't completely suck.  Of course, they could still moderately suck.

Just because he's produced good products in the past doesn't mean he will create good products forever.

[Rhymes]

But if the same people (such as Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens) that made LotR are working on the Hobbit, then it will almost certainly NOT suck.  It wasn't just Peter Jackson who made LotR, ya know.

[BloodEagle]

* BloodEagle points out that he thinks that Peter Jackson is a hack.
