Disney can’t resist, can they? Please, don’t fuck it up.

Well they're not bringing back Legacy's director and got Jared Leto to act in it so I'm not expecting much.

Daft punk wasn't coming back long before the 15-year Gap. They were pissed at Disney back shortly after Tron legacy came out. Because Disney commissioned the whole remix album without their consent or permission. And then sold it. There were some banging remixes. Don't get me wrong. But, going behind daft punk to do it and then cutting them out. Definitely will not make them want to return.

Interesting. I haven't heard this. But also, the duo disbanded a few years ago.

Update: Found it. It was their manager that was mad. Busy P

Yes, though something like that had there been good relations could have gotten them back together. But yes, sad about their disbanding. I followed them since before they were daft punk.

I did read that one of the reasons they gave Tron: Legacy the green light was because they had no big sci-fi franchise of their own. Once they bought Lucasfilm, their problems were solved and that's why the plans for a third Tron film fell apart years ago.

I have high hopes for this film because I love the franchise.

2 was barely there for me. i just dont have a lot of hope.

i feel like this one will likely be even more removed from the source material that made that original great.

I’m in the opposite camp, I loved Tron Legacy. Visually it’s superb, and when considered as a glorified Daft Punk music video like Insterstella 5555, it’s awesome.

[–] fogstormberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 9 months ago

daft punk took it from a mediocre enjoyable film to one of my favorites. I'm interested in tr3n but it needs something extra to make it stand out

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

i can appreciate this point of view. it was beautiful.

i think part of why i like the original is that it was far less polished, which is an artifact in my own brain. i was raised on original doctor who.

i was also disappointed in the arc of killing off the one guy i wanted to watch the movie for, in a place where death is beyond ambiguous...

Flynn and Clu have off and on-grid backups, fortunately, in the MarySue archive drive.

I literally remember nothing about 2 except disappointment
