Wjhy not call it something else entirely? Hollywood can;t come up with an original idea to save its life it has to rape and pillage everything else and reboot and remake everything else. I like the fact that Tron is a sequel and not a reboot because it is respectful of the original source and there is an opportunity here to show how the technology has evolved and the story actually lends itself to update the effects, not just changing things just because they can. It's not trying to re-invent the wheel or ride upon the success of the original material in the way the Star Trek and Galactica are obviously trying to cash in on. If that were the case then Tron Legacy would never have gotten made.I Am Kirok!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-66376800496796129582010-06-21T09:12:35.025-07:002010-06-21T09:12:35.025-07:00"Don't know what your misguided prejudice..."Don't know what your misguided prejudice is against "senior citizens" but William Shatner IS Captain Kirk not some recast poseur named Pine."<br /><br />Obviously, you can't handle an alternataive opinion that has nothing to do with prejudice.<br /><br />Well, William Shatner as Captain Kirk has RUN its course. It will no longer carry a movie. Bones is really dead. The trio of Kirk, Spock, and Bones is gone forever.<br /><br />The Next Generation imploded at the box office. So no loss there!!!<br /><br />The reboot was necesary to save the series "behind". It did play homage to the past. The senior Nimoy made an appearance that I thought was completely unnecessary. <br /><br />As for Tron, YAWN. I didn't care much for the original movie that I actually saw in the theaters back then. The movie wasn't much of an success. It had its fans in a cultist sort of way. The senior tie-in is unnecessary. Why not start completely fresh like Battlestar Galactica?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-53429936487486254792010-06-20T11:58:48.875-07:002010-06-20T11:58:48.875-07:00Aging is an appropriate theme that will be explore...Aging is an appropriate theme that will be explored in the film. Alan Bradley tells Sam that Flynn came to him with a discovery that will change science, medicine, and religion. They have utilized the technology to de-age their program counterparts and I suspect Flynn has discovered some kind of virtual immortality by his immersion inside the electronic world. I am hoping Joseph Kosinski can competently address these exciting themes and ideas in the story and how it deals with the mysteries of life.TRON UNITnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-7386053395377043102010-06-20T00:13:29.247-07:002010-06-20T00:13:29.247-07:00You obviously don't get it.

Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner are reprising their roles (they are in their 60's and 58 year-old Liam Neeson in A-Team the same age George Peppard was in the original TV series) but the story centers around Flynn's son, Sam. The look of the film has advanced to show how 30 years of evolution have changed the technological world.

The new Star Trek reboot featured a young Kirk and Spock. <br />The A-Team movie features young actors rather than senior citizens playing the role.<br /><br />Aging is not an excuse to cast a movie. I wonder why Tron didn't reboot with a younger cast. Tron seems to be retro movie. It's nostalgia for the past rather than a look into the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-60651980832538691232010-06-18T14:32:21.322-07:002010-06-18T14:32:21.322-07:00You'll be an old timer too someday and believe...You'll be an old timer too someday and believe me it will come sooner rather than later. Aging is a fact of life. Just because a person has wrinkled skin and gray hair does not make them any less of a human being. In fact it makes them even more respectable because of their experiences and knowledge.
