Did TomorrowLand bomb that hard?

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Yeah, I'm pretty pissed about this one. I really enjoyed Legacy and was really looking forward to what they came up with next.

 

[CharminUltra]

Never been a fan of the original or Legacy (aside from the soundtrack) to be honest, but I appreciate their originality.

 

[Wanderer5]

WHAT?! NO!

What horrible news.;.;

 

[Monocle]

fuck

 

[godofcookery]

I was keeping a glimmer of hope that maybe Tron: Uprising would be released on BluRay after this was teased, or on the week of its release. Oh well.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

Seems odd.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

Just bring back Tron: Uprising and give it one more season to allow season one get some resolution (damn cliffhanger!!!). I'd much rather get that than Tron 3, but it seems more Tron animated or live action isn't too likely :-\

tron uprising was so damn good.

 

[Delta Assault]

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

maybe someone at disney realized how much tron 2 sucked

Yeah. Terrible film. Saying that I was partly excited to see a Tron 3, but reading this it looks like they'd et the old team back, so nothing of great value was lost.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Tron Legacy was pure style over substance. I'm not surprised.

 

[Rickelodeon]

NO NO NO NO NO NO

I love TRON so much and I was so excited when they finally confirmed that a 3rd movie was finally happening a few months back, and then when i got home and saw this news i want to lie down and cry now. Legacy is one of me and my friends favorite movies, such an incredible experience, highly underrated honestly. Hope it still happens. Microsoft pick this movie up and fund it please

i can't believe we're being intentionally deprived of another soundtrack like this why

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

Tron Legacy was pure style over substance. I'm not surprised.

TMNT got a sequel.

A lack of emphasis on substance is usually not a consideration.

With various Star Wars movies coming out maybe their slates are too full to accommodate sci-fi action movie #234.

 

[PaperFlame]

makes sense, they both weren't really good movies at all..

The setting and idea was defiantly cool.

 

[RobbieNick]

NOOOOO GODAMMIT! Huge Tron fan here and MASSIVELY dissapointed. Such a shame.

 

[Nokterian]

But tron legacy was good and the soundtrack made that movie *sadface* goddamnit disney!

 

[gatti-man]

Crap.

 

[Mushroomer25]

Blame Tomorrowland. Between that, John Carter, and Mars Needs Moms - Disney has to see non-Marvel/Star Wars sci-fi as a dead genre as far as profit goes. The "Disney" audience just doesn't want it.

I'd love to see TRON 3. But I totally get why Disney would step away from it.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Fuck this earth

 

[Floridian]

R.I.P

 

[Blood Diamonds]

Does that mean no new Tron World for Kingdom Hearts?

x(

Good.

Fuck Tron Worlds in KH

 

[TuXx]

Damn you Tomorrowland!! Damn you to hell!!

 

[Wanderer5]

Good.

Fuck Tron Worlds in KH

Tron world in 3D was one of the coolest worlds in that game.:|

 

[Metalmarc]

They'll probably just wait another 20 years like between the first two. This time the boy will be in his 40's and his kid will go on a similar journey, meanwhile grampa "The Dude" makes a cameo

Nah i haven't a clu

 

[CloudyTuba]

That hurts, Disney. Real bad. Loved the last one.

 

[GnawtyDog]

Ohh well... very unfortunate.

 

[Razorback]

I know this movie is not for everyone. I actually really liked the story but I understand how others may find it uninteresting.

But it's not the story that makes this movie special. To me Tron Legacy is an audiovisual masterpiece. It's shot beautifully and the production design is awe-inspiring. For my taste it hits every pleasure nerve in my visual cortex. The vehicles, the wardrobe, the interiors, the city and the wasteland, even the real world scenes are constructed with such style and taste. And all of that is goes twice for the soundtrack. Those images and sounds together create a mood that I can't easily describe because it's a really subjective experience. I can only say that it really works for me.

So Disney, this is what I say to you:

 

[Gambit 1138]

:O

On a serious note though I don't know if Wilde was even up for it, I saw her in an interview say she was feeling too old to play those kinds of roles anymore.

Is that tony stark on the left?

 

[SRG01]

Just bring back Tron: Uprising and give it one more season to allow season one get some resolution (damn cliffhanger!!!). I'd much rather get that than Tron 3, but it seems more Tron animated or live action isn't too likely :-\

We'll never get a Tron Uprising Season 2 because the production costs were, apparently, extremely high for the first season.

 

[bigmase21]

Gonna have to watch my boy Clu today in memory

 

[SuperAndroid17]

First they cancel Uprising.. now this.

Fuck off Disney

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

This sucks. Really like the last one. Come on Disney! You greenlight tomorrowland, but not this.

 

[Sojgat]

Shit

 

[gerudoman]

The real crime to me is no more sexy tron version of Olivia Wilde

This. Hottest wig of all time.

 

[Tookay]

Not surprised in the least. Disney's been dragging its heels on this for years. Tomorrowland's box office just sealed the deal for non-AAA name recogniton live action sci-fi at the studio.

 

[Hale-XF11]

That's some serious bullshit.

 

[Kain]

C'mon, Disney, you are swimming in millions of dollars and soon you will drown from the money of Star Wars, let us have this treat.

 

[MattKeil]

For the best, judging by Tron Legacy. They utterly failed to capitalize on and evolve the Tron concept in one sequel, I don't see why they'd suddenly figure it out in another one. A great soundtrack can't save a terrible script.

Just go play Tron 2.0 on PC, which is a vastly better sequel to Tron than Legacy was ever going to be.

 

[trips]

I blame Garrett Hedlund.

 

[ryseing]

I wanted more Kosinski visual goodness. Damn you Disney.

 

[Lokimaru]

I know it's okay. But you're calling a sequel "unique," and a film even it's defenders recognize as being boring as "interesting."

It's one thing to like a film even though it's got detractors. I understand that completely. But it's another to represent the film as being a thing it can't be. It's not a unique film because it's 60% the previous film, with a VFX upgrade and a better score. It's not an interesting film because the ideas it's playing with aren't new or original, and aren't even done well on top of that.



Tron isn't "risky" by any means. Hard to get safer than updating a 30 year old film with a ton of name recognition and amazing visuals built-into its premise. It's why its disappointment both financially and as a film is as frustrating as it is.

You know it's ok to admit you didn't "get" the movie.

Man this is how I felt when Fear Effect 3 got cancelled because of Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness.

 

[Gambit 1138]

Don't worry guys I'm sure we'll get another Tron in 25 years

 

[Busty]

It looks like whoever at the Mouse House thought this was a good idea finally sobered up.

Seriously, I have no idea how anyone at Disney thought funnelling more money to make a sequel to a film that was a failure on almost every level (merch, at the box office, the cartoon etc) could warrant a sequel?

I can only assume that the studio had some options on the cast/director that were expiring and they had to decide whether they wanted to 'activate' them or let them lapse.

Don't worry guys I'm sure we'll get another Tron in 25 years

There is zero doubt in my mind that Disney will reboot Tron at some point in the future.

 

[PaulloDEC]

 

[Messi]

I like how people are gushing about the music and visuals but saying jack shit about the plot, characters and acting...

I think Quorra is an incredible character and one of the best new characters in years.

 

[Hystzen]

Urghh because a film that is not a marvel or Disney animated turned live action died at cinemas means Disney probably dead for anything else but Star Wars marvel or remaking animated to live.

 

[Dead Man]

Is that tony stark on the left?

And Bill Gates next to him from memory.

 

[EGM1966]

Okay with this. I liked elements of Tron 2 (and it's always a joy to see Bridges on screen) but overall it just wasn't that good, squandered some terrific ideas and lost what made Tron unique for me; the sense of literally being in another world.

 

[Discotheque]

I think Quorra is an incredible character and one of the best new characters in years.

messi plz. no need to stan for olivia wilde in this basura. she's got that HBO show coming up that will likely be great anyways.

 

[Joni]

On a serious note though I don't know if Wilde was even up for it, I saw her in an interview say she was feeling too old to play those kinds of roles anymore.

They could have always replaced her with Olivia Munn. Nobody would notice.
