TRON 3 (Jared Leto Shares New Ripped Physique Pic; Garth Davis to Direct)

[Buddy Revell]

Nah I think it has a good deal more going for it than that, I wouldn't say its perfect lacking a bit of a middle act but I think its held up pretty well. The lead was a bit bland but really most of the focus was on the supporting roles and they were mostly interesting.

I think it holds up much better than Oblivion, that film took an interesting premise and turned it into a boneheaded Emmerichian "eat my nuke" actioner were as Legacy did keep some degree of intelligence to its plot all the way though with the legacy of chasing false perfection.

Well shit, if you’re going to lower the bar to Oblivion than I have no choice but to agree with you. In fact compared to After Earth, Tron Legacy is a MASTERPIECE.

Don’t get me wrong. I liked Tron Legacy... but it wasn’t great apart from the vfx and score. And I think that most will agree, and take a hard pass on Tron 3 if the filmmakers don’t have a strong take for Pt. 3

If anything, I think it was surprisingly solid, and has probably gained more fans than it's lost over the years. Perhaps not enough, to throw a bunch of money at another sequel, but I don't think Tron Legacy has a bad reputation, overall, and if anything, has turned into a bit of cult hit...kind of like the original.

I doubt it will be some box office juggernaut though. I think that has more to do with the franchise not being as popular as it's reputation might suggest. The original tanked all the same, but you would think it was this huge movie, based on all the shit you've heard and read about it over the years. You can't force box office success, but hell, I'm down for more Tron if they want to throw some more money away on it.

I for one cannot wait for Leto to drop out of this one and further screw this dead horse.

 

[Otto!]

Did you see it?

I mean in the first & 2nd movies, the main overall objective was the same... which was to take down the big bad... as is the general plot of a million other movies. It was the "Main Control Program" (MCP) in the first movie... & the upgraded "Certified Likeness Utility" (CLU) in the second one... but outside of that generality... the story itself was expanded in very cool wayz imo.

Bro... we gotta get you in on the viewing party!

In that case yes I've seen both. I need a CLU to make my shoops more realistic!

Well to be fair it was a film that obviously put a hell of a lot of focus on its looks and score as indeed did the original, indeed you could probably argue there's rather more substance to the sequel.

Compared to what Disney has done with Starwars(minus Rogue One) I think it stands up very well indeed.

They need to bring back the previous actors/characters. I don't understand why Leto would be the "main character" of the film.

"Starring" meanz he's in a basket of main characters... but not necessarily "The" main character. We also don't know if he's the good guy or the bad guy "for sure"... but he fooked up a couple yearz ago & revealed his name as "Ares"... which is the currently last known working title for the movie... so I'd assume he's the new computer program which is either in the real world now as a being/machine or virtual representation. At one point they had a T3 scenario where the machine world takes over, & Ares was a robot/being leading that charge... but that's already been dun & so I'm assuming that's why it didn't see the light of day.

My hopes are that they just keep him virtual... but I could do with him inhabiting a physical body. I just don't' want to see him leading an army of robots down the streets T3 style, lol. imo... lets get him into the virtual system & chase his ass down "Lawnmower Man" style. Sheet... once he gets into the system he could hold the world down to his needs at the threat of nuclear attack. That may be too scary for people though. I dunno... there's all kinds of ways they can go with it once he gets into the system. Maybe he makes it elegant & becomes a multi trillionair in a matter of minutes, takes over wallstreet, & hires mobs of people to do his bidding... lol. That would be a nice twist. You don't need a fooking army of robots if you got Trillions of dollars to pay flesh & blood people to do your bidding. I like that.

How about he makes the world a better place as long as you follow his criteria. How'z that for a fooking twist. Not really much different than the superpowers are doing to us now tbh. & that opens us up for the conclusion of the movie based on how it all goes wrong & then the follow up movies otherwise known as "The Matrix Trilogy." lol.

To your point though... yes we need Sam & Quorra's actors back for this & last word is that they are still on board. Lets find a cool way to throw Jeff Bridges in there too with him glitching into the newly evolved program, yeah? No matter how advanced this AI program gets... it was still originated by Flynn.

This script has been re-worked for a decade, but earlier scripts had Quorra as a "Main Character"... & on the real... how could you not. Previous scripts have mentioned there's a run on the ownership of the company as well as "Ares" who I'm assuming would be the upgraded version of "CLU."
(ie... Ares > CLU > MCP)
ie... the next evolution of the program before it eventually becomes the Architect of the Matrix movies. (my hot take )

Maybe they can get some other great EDM musical group to do the soundtrack to capture the brilliance that the last one did. But that’s a tall order.

Last I heard Daft Punk was on board for the new one.

Asides from that, none of the characters from Legacy or the Actors are particularly compelling that I would need to come back for a third film.

Obviously it would be weird if Quorra & Sam weren't a part of it. You don't wanna see Flynn show up?

You seem really negative about the whole thing. Are you sure you're not just doing hot takes on this?

I understand the pov of a super fan like myself will not be shared by everyone, but I'm baffled by your pov.

it would be impossible to distinguish the chicken from the egg, but the video gamez actually made more money than the movie... & the cult following it got (of which I'm a part of) was due to a combination of the 2 that led to the success of the second movie... which for obvious reasons carried itself & its past to a successful end result in its own right.

So here we are with all these things lined up, (as well as a 19 episode tv series & a short comic book run creating a canon universe for Tron's legit cult following,) to lead into the 3rd movie. I don't think this could legitimately be considered "throwing some money away on it." imo... it's quite the contrary & they are locked & loaded with a great opportunity here.

Naw. I’m not just doing a hot take. I would’ve been down for a third film... what... a half decade ago?

Now, not so much. It would help if there was some legit talent attached behind the camera or some continuity returning in terms of vision. But anyway... it could end up being passable like the last but I have no great hopes.

Jared Leto Shares Selfie of His Ripped Physique in Preparation for TRON 3

Why reboot? Why not just a sequel?

Because that requires someone to write a plot. Reboot, you just take the existing plot and make it darker and grittier

 

[Randlewand]

Am I the only person that thinks Leto is sketchy AF?

He's a vampire...

I saw this in 4DX at regal tonight and was thoroughly blown away during parts. The 3D effects were on point and amazing and I hate 3D. The thing that absolutely stood out was the score by NIN. Whoever edited this film worked closely with Trent Reznor to line up the shot with the music or vice versa. It is pretty fucking tight how they choreographed the music and shots together. There were parts were I was like "holy fuck, this is tight. I should maybe vape next time before the movie". I don't think there has been a film where the soundtrack took such a front row seat to an entire movie. The movie should be called Tron: Ares or A Two Hour NIN music video. I don't say that as a slight but I can't think of anything like it. Other movies like Star Wars, the music is part of setting the mode during parts but the soundtrack here is as important as any of the characters. The story itself stays lean, unlike the last Tron movie, and keeps the pace up from the start to finish. I would give it 10/10 and I am unsure as to why this movie was not released during the summer. It is by far the best blockbuster type of movie I have seen this year. I might be biased some being a NIN fan but this was a pretty fucking tight movie, just like NIN's concerts. I went into it expecting a few good songs and a kind of a stupid pseudo intellectual plot like the last one and got a rollercoaster instead. Trent Reznor and the director , Joachim Ronning, knocked it out of the park in their collaboration. Who might not like this? People who don't like NIN or are thinking this should be Casablanca rather than a drag race.
