Legacy is a sequel, not a remake.

Didnt know that until now. At least they got Jeff Bridges back as the original Flynn

I remember Tron, saw it in the theater...  Played the game in the arcade...

Hope they don't cheese up the remake too much...  I'll go to see it, if the early reviews aren't too bad...

Although, I did watch the original not too long ago, it's kind of funny to watch now...
I remember the game...first one I remember that was more than 25 cents a pop....hardly ever got past the MCP cone :mad:

Boxleitner is back as well, but no word yet on his role in the film. I thought I'd heard rumors somewhere that David Warner may return as Sark, as well.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Not only will the movie be in IMAX but in 3-D as well.  For this type of film, I'll be watching each type of release regular, IMAX, and regular 3-D and IMAX 3-D.  Normally, you watch in the theater then later buy the DVD.

Interesting teaser...I kinda still like the original light cycles

I've loved Tron since I saw it at the movies...its suprising how little real CGI there is in the film, the making of Tron doco on the DVD is a must for fans

I loved Tron when it first came out. I was so original, a satisfying movie. If I can put it that way. Saw it lately and thought it looked dated naturally. I also thought the end of level boss was a bit cheesy. Maybe the remake will be more edgy.

I like the trailer. I definitely want one of those light cycles. While I like the 'motorcycle' sound. I think the original is more authentic after all. I can't help cynically wondering if the movie or the inevitable spin off game will be more important.

Well, as most of America does not have an arcade nearby, not including those "arcades" at movie theaters, the movie might be more important.

I always thought that if the light cycle was destroyed during the game, the player driving it was de-rezed. In the clip, he survives (until he is killed by the hands of flynn).

I always considered anyone who liked Tron when I was a 11 year old a nerd and therefore a total spazoid. Disliking Tron back then helped my nerdy only-kid-in-my-class-with-glasses self distance myself from other nerdlings of the day, thus making me 1% cooler.

2 years later when I got my first Apple IIc and started trying to "program" said nerdlings wouldn't talk to me or help me.

That movie still makes me mad, just like The Black Hole.

Star Wars and Battlestar Glactica were my kings back then... Buck Rogers was a cheap knock off of Battlestar in my little mind, and Black Hole was another sci-fi rip off of popular media.

Plus I didn't understand a single thing about the movie. I watched most of it one night (starting at the begining) and was so confused I thought I was watching one of my mothers soap operas.

I haven't even thought of it since until this thread rofl, just something of the era that popped into my head that annoyed me.
