Dammit....I was ready to go back to the Grid....I freaking loved that world. 
Also, during my early neogaf lurker days, I was hyped for the movie after seeing someone have this as their animated avatar:

Which such a gap now, even if they make a sequel. They're basically going to have to wrap up what really happened at the end of Tron Legacy in a recap sort of thing with the story starting from another point.
Now with the recent news it can be looked at symbolically.Dammit....I was ready to go back to the Grid....I freaking loved that world.

I'm very sad now.
How were the music and visuals in The King's Speech? Not as good as Tron? Must be shit then.
Film as a medium has many more angles than those, try harder next time.

I was thinking of watching Tomorrowland this weekend. After this: Fuck you Disney.

Fuck, this is all I wanted from Disney. Bring back the Dude, add some time travel, make Clue actually get out of the Grid

This is terrible news. I loved Tron 2 for the aesthetic alone and was looking forward to visiting the universe again.
I'm not sure what thread you are reading but there are plenty of people in here who are down on Tron Legacy.

This thread, from my PoV, has been overwhelmingly negative and shitty to the movie, mostly people who didn't personally like it and thus that means it was objectively crap.
But my own selection bias means I think GAF is a place only to hate - it's against the rules to actually like something here.

Really want more of this universe, Uprising was exponentially better than Legacy but nobody watched. It was disappointing because I didn't think three was happening, then there were rumblings earlier this year of the band getting back together and got my hopes up. Just expect your Marvel/Star Wars/Live action fairy tail reimagining a for the next ten years or so from the Disney umbrella.
Dont forget animated fairy tales and 2-3 more attempts to do Pirates.
Wouldn't say waaaaay better, especially since least Legacy didn't have a 3rd act that took a kind of big nose dive after some really good buildup and ideas.
Also to reiterate an earlier point, is Disney really going to give Pirates more when they could turn Tron into something huge?
In regards to the animated -> live action films, they don't seem to offer much at all. Cinderella was just.. well.. Cinderella. An expensive movie to make with a top-billed cast that doesn't do much. I get it's for kids but come on.
Maleficent was pretty dope though.

Pirates is a billion dollar franchise. The fourth movie did a billion, IIRC
Oh I know. I'm not going to doubt the money, but they're limiting potential here. Tron offers up an entirely new, uninhabited world in film.
To clarify, I don't think they care about potential though.

Was there gonna be a CLU 3.0?
And I have to wonder how "incredible" the final product would've actually been with the same director working on it.
I think they were going with Dillinger and MCP2.0 instead (the "free" Encom operating system that was released onto the Net). That would have been the impetus for returning to the isolated grid to find TRON.
At least in my head this was the story.
Why wouldnt they do Cinderella and Pirates over Tron when they make more money? Thats the only "potential" that matters to Disney.

Apparently the film was cancelled because they had a crowded movie slate coming up and didn't know where to put it.
Crowded schedule means Tron 3 is put on ice....and the four live-action remakes of existing Disney adaptations (Dumbo, Mulan, Winnie-the-Pooh, and Pinocchio) they announced during the past two months will be spared.
Priorities.

Count me as one of those who hasn't seen the original Tron (yet), but liked Legacy and would had loved to see a sequel

Would've love to have gotten decent figures in the style of Uprising. The art style just fit.

I'd much rather have a new Tron than yet another Marvel flick. In fact, they should take it to the next level and film a sequel using a 360 degree camera array so we can watch it in VR. Of all the franchises that are screaming to be seen in VR, Tron is it. The timing would be perfect too, with consumer VR just around the corner.
Alright, I'll keep dreaming....

Glad Kosinski isn't wasting his time on another of these.
Dude hasn't hit a movie out of the park yet, but he sure as hell is talented and could produce something special with the right script.

The first Tron is a very, very, very pretty movie. Despite the poor acting and generic plot, I think the visuals are imaginative enough that I can understand why people would be enamored.
But Legacy? I don't see it. All the changes to the digital world make it look less interesting and memorable than it did in Tron, and it doesn't help that as Bobby Roberts said, the novelty is lost when this is a sequel obviously playing on nostalgia for the original movie.

God dammit Disney. Cancel one of those other horseshit movies you're making. I need Joseph to bless me with another visual feast.
i watched tron and thought it was one of the least exciting movies i'd ever seen. so legacy didn't play on any nostalgia for me. i thought it had a good visual style and a kickass soundtrack on top of being rather fun to watch, though.
it's one of the few love-it-or-hate-it movies out there i like a lot. it feels like a lot of passion was behind the making of it. it would pretty much have to be, being a sequel to a 30 year old film that only ever had a cult following at best.

There is nothing wrong with bringing something mediocre back to make something truly great.
Imagine if Street Fighter II never happened because SFI was so bad

What if Street Fighter II happened and it was only barely better than Street Fighter?
That's the comparison here.

Granted, the reason Capcom kept making the series was probably because SFII and its ports made billions of dollars. First and foremost though, it was much more fun to play that SFI.
Are we pretending that Legacy is the only possible outcome of a sequel to TRON? Disney has released much more overproduced schlock. In an unrelated note, look what they did with a bunch of niche Marvel characters. They will do the same with Star Wars.
There's room for a modest TRON movie with a good story. Otherwise Disney could drop the pretense and say the goal is to make a billion dollars, and not to make movies.
What does that make Tron Uprising?

I just learned of this.... this sucks. Loved Tron Legacy
Not sure what makes you think he has it in him to do that. Legacy was a total misfire. I haven't seen Oblivion more than once though, maybe I could chance that again but I'm like eh.
Then let's celebrate the undeniably best aspect of the movie, the music. It justifies the existence of the movie.
The remix album that came out is also really good.
They are better off with just the remakes...
