If Lasseter and the brain trust take a look at the script, this has a great deal of potential -- especially in Disney Digital 3D.

Bridges is a very good actor -- and I'm glad to see he's involved in the project.

Now, if Disney could only get together with Steven Spielberg and resurrect the long-shelved prequel to "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" or at least create a new short with the characters to guage possible interest.

Sorry, but whenever I look at "TR2N" it reads like "TRZN", meaning "Tarzan".

Might want to rethink this one, guys.

I have to disagree with you Rudy ... you're not seeing "TR2N" set in type, as a logo, or in context to an ad campaign. There's a great deal that can be creatively done to "TR2N" to immediately convey this has NOTHING to do with "Tarzan."

This makes me SO exicted!! I love the original (and so does my 5 yr old son) and I thought it never got what it deserved. It should have been as big as Star Wars. So maybe this time it can be!

I guess Bridges is going to concentrate on playing bearded badguys in this phase of his career--between IronMan and this...or was the beard in the test footage only 'cause he had it grown for real FOR IronMan? Of course, he does a lot of voiceover work too....for which beards are optional (smile)

Why?

I for one am tired of remakes. I want to see something new.

Blue Sky Disney is reporting that Disney is developing a sequel to "Tron" - and they they showed a 3-minute clip at Comic Con this week. Other coverage from FirstShowing.net: The trailer opens with a man running from an approaching light cycle. As he

I have to agree.  I am sick of remakes, reimaginings, reboots and sequels to cult films that came out 25 years ago.  I believe this can be a hit, but why bother?  Do enough people remember the first Tron to make Tron 2 (I'm sorry, but I refuse to type it the way Jim did) the start of a mega franchise?  Don't you think (considering that the original is considered a "cult" classic) there are a lot of people like me that think the original was kind of stupid?  Let's get Prince of Persia out first and then see where Disney is (or needs to be) in terms of mega franchises.

Hate to disagree, but Prince of Persia hardly counts as original either (it is a major game franchise)... if anything, Tron is far more of a risk in terms of creating a new property

"Tron" is a breakthrough film that, though not a success at the time, has been credited with inspiring a generation of filmmakers.  So, no, I don't think there are "a lot of people" who think it was "kind of stupid".  "Cult classic" does *not* equal "bad".

The video game Tron 2.0 proved that fans can accept an updated Tron, as long as it does not go against the sensibilities of the original.  Given the fact that Flynn is not exactly the epitome of responsibility, it is easy to see him losing himself even more than he had at the original movie's start, so this one seems to stay in line.

My only hope is that Steven Lisberger is invloved, at least as a consultant to keep things on track.

The first Tron was awful!  Why are they making a sequel?  This has got Speed Racer written all over it.

What next, 'Black Cauldron 2'?

I just can't imagine that very many people were clamoring for a sequel to Tron.  Not judging whether it will be good or bad - it sounds like it has a lot of potential, I just can't imagine people were waiting with baited breath for it.  Plus, everytime Tron comes up I think of the Freakazoid episode where FanBoy goes on a rant about Tron not really being the movie that broke the bank at Disney.   It's a property for fanboys.
