*liberator points out that PJ hasn't made anything of note sine LOTR

[Kosh]

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

Maybe so, but we should keep in mind that he did a damn good job with the King Kong remake.

Now on a slightly unrelated note, I have a shameful admission to make, I never saw the original Tron.........

  Heretic...  The birthplace of "Snake" and many other fine mobile phone games.

Seriously though, run out and buy it.


Also Braindead was PJs finest work, not LOTR....

[Sarafan]

This is going to be a great movie!

edit: Oh, didnt saw this thread, my bad.

[BloodEagle]

They just won't stop. 

[Liberator]

To be fair, aside from the whip thing, that at least sounds like a movie I'd go see.  There's just enough plot in the original game to act as a framework for the film to build in.  I just don't see how they can make a whip of all things look like a credible weapon of undead elimination and still be a whip.

Bit of a bump... Second Trailer.

Still in two minds about some aspects, but I'll probably watch it anyway

Edit: Oh, and Felix Boxleitner is in it, looks like he's given up on the hair-dye

[General Battuta]

omg omg omg

[Flipside]

I like the new take on the recognizers, same shape, but they look a lot meaner with greebles

[Galemp]

Someone unleashed the FSU team on Tron!

[qazwsx]

Skintight suits, glowing neon, and her?


It's like the transformers reboot...

Not like that's a bad thing in this case >_>

Olivia Wilde wasn't in Transformers. Weren't the suits always skintight and glowing neon?

[qazwsx]

yes, but the women didn't look hot in them in the original... >_>

[Flipside]

It got 2010'd

I think the thing is, in the old Tron, they'd tried to show the people as personifications of actual programs written by the 'Users', each program was a physical copy of it's creator, but the actors tended to accent the fact they were programs by acting a little bit 'stiff' much of the time, whereas programs in this incarnation seem a lot more human from what I saw of them, of course, that kind of repressed behaviour in Tron could also be down to the influence of the MCP.

I think what you're talking about is them trying to make a good movie. That sounds like a great touch.

[Angelus]

Looks impressive. Hope they don't **** it up.

Some of them did it very well to be honest, David Warner did a very good job of playing the same role in 2 completely different ways depending on what side of the computer screen he was on.

It was good to see an appearance by Boxleitner, since it sort of gives the blessing of both the main characters from the original

[NGTM-1R]

I don't think there were any woman in the original Tron. Certainly I don't remember any.

Maybe the original suits just rendered them totally gender-ambigous.

I can't recall if she was in the "Computer" part of it, but there was the blonde laser researcher that going out with Commander Sheridan.

anyway if Kevin Flynn complains at some point "That rug really tied the room together" I would die happy
