TREN?

Much hype. So haxxorz. Wow.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

So lame! It'd be bad enough if it was actually correct leet speak

Disney can’t resist, can they? Please, don’t fuck it up.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Well they're not bringing back Legacy's director and got Jared Leto to act in it so I'm not expecting much.

Daft punk wasn't coming back long before the 15-year Gap. They were pissed at Disney back shortly after Tron legacy came out. Because Disney commissioned the whole remix album without their consent or permission. And then sold it. There were some banging remixes. Don't get me wrong. But, going behind daft punk to do it and then cutting them out. Definitely will not make them want to return.

Interesting. I haven't heard this. But also, the duo disbanded a few years ago.

Update: Found it. It was their manager that was mad. Busy P

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Yes, though something like that had there been good relations could have gotten them back together. But yes, sad about their disbanding. I followed them since before they were daft punk.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

I did read that one of the reasons they gave Tron: Legacy the green light was because they had no big sci-fi franchise of their own. Once they bought Lucasfilm, their problems were solved and that's why the plans for a third Tron film fell apart years ago.

I have high hopes for this film because I love the franchise.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

2 was barely there for me. i just dont have a lot of hope.

i feel like this one will likely be even more removed from the source material that made that original great.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

I’m in the opposite camp, I loved Tron Legacy. Visually it’s superb, and when considered as a glorified Daft Punk music video like Insterstella 5555, it’s awesome.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

daft punk took it from a mediocre enjoyable film to one of my favorites. I'm interested in tr3n but it needs something extra to make it stand out

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

i can appreciate this point of view. it was beautiful.

i think part of why i like the original is that it was far less polished, which is an artifact in my own brain. i was raised on original doctor who.

i was also disappointed in the arc of killing off the one guy i wanted to watch the movie for, in a place where death is beyond ambiguous...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Flynn and Clu have off and on-grid backups, fortunately, in the MarySue archive drive.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 9 months ago

I literally remember nothing about 2 except disappointment

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I sure loved TR2N and TR1N.

Then the sequel:
TR3N.5 - Treen Fiddy

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Treen Five Treen Furious

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

If this means more Daft Punk, fantastic! Can't wait!

If not, who cares?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I love the second tron ...is that not a popular opinion?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

One of the best soundtracks ever created. You can tell Daft Punk was like "this is our moment we've been preparing our whole lives for" haha. They really nailed it.

Story wise I think it still lived up to the original and had some interesting themes... people kinda have rose tinted glasses with the first movie, it wasn't that well written either tbh.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I can only speak for myself really, but personally it felt like such an unnecessary movie. I enjoyed the visuals and music, but the actual plot was grating. The original was great for it's unique approach, but it was only unique at the time. Now it's just Disney printing money from a recognizable brand, just like star wars.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I wonder if this movie will inspire a whole new generation of Audi car designs all over again

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

I can't wait until we get Tron 4: Part 1 and Tron 4: Part 2, collectively known as the TR4NS movies

spoilerI know at least one person who realised she was trans when she wanted to be Olivia Wilde in Tron 2 more than she wanted to sleep with her.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Love it! 😆

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I'm excited to see this only for the DeSantis melt-down.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I see they're following the same trend as Fant4stic, M3GAN, and Expend4bles.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

At least those replaced similar letters.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

More like Se7en, ie it makes no fucking sense.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Yeah, Se7en was the first one I remembered. It's a silly marketing thing that often makes no sense.

The first teaser trailer for Tron: Legacy was revealed at the San Diego Comic Con in 2008. At the end, the title was revealed (excuse the quality, this version of the trailer was never officially released) to be TR2N.

It later transpired that this teaser was a proof of concept test, as Disney had not yet given the project a green light. The trailer was released a year later at the Con and online, but the title had been changed to Tron: Legacy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

I immediately thought of this video when I saw "tr3n" https://youtu.be/7msoqnz2bcY

It's a very grumpy Scottish man responding to being told that he says the word "train" like he's saying "tren."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Is there gonna be more weird, young CGI Jeff Bridges?
