January 19, 200521 yr Disney has hired screenwriters Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal to fashion a remake of Tron, the 1982 film about a computer programmer who gets sucked into the parallel world of a computer program, Variety reported. The original movie, written and directed by Steven Lisberger, was considered ahead of its time. Klugman and Sterntha (Warrior) feel that the world has caught up with Lisberger's original concept, making it ripe for redo, the trade paper reported. Sternthal told the trade paper that the new concept is that the computer programmer gets trapped in a cyberworld, so that the film can utilize the Internet. I saw that on a Disney message board and I thought some of you may be interested.
January 19, 200521 yr Thanks, MiRi. I'm actually quite fond of the original TRON. It's one of my favorite Disney films; a "guilty pleasure" if you will. It looks awfully dated now, but I remember seeing it as a kid in the early 80's and being blown away by its concept and visuals. I also loved the TRON arcade game. Good times...
January 19, 200521 yr I'm sorry to those who actually liked Tron but a second tron is about as needed as Kathie Lee Gifford's return.
January 19, 200521 yr Whenever I think Tron, I think of the treehouse of horror simpsons episode where Homer goes 3D and he's the only one who saw Tron.
January 20, 200521 yr Author I've never seen Tron because I was never interested as a kid. I did think the effects looked pretty cool.
