>comes out in a little over one week>no hype>there isn't even merchandise support beyond two pop-vinyl figuresIt's not looking good. Personally I want to be hyped for it as I really am a fan of the Tron series and mythos. And I am still hoping that it'll be good even though now the only possiblity is as a "sleeper hit."
>>214921635>I really am a fan of the Tron serieswhy
>>214921635Original was flop too What made you think this wouldn’t?
>>214921842The original was a flop, and the sequel wasn't a flop but at least an under-performer, but both went on to build their fan bases outside of the theaters, and both kept building up the IP over the years.
>>214921635>>no hypeIt's a niche license where the public expects A but the studio suddenly gives B, of course there's no hype.
>letothis shit will bomb
Anything with Leto as protagonist is doomed to fail. The guy is an evil, weird, soulless psychopath and everyone can feel it.
>>214921931Leto's a good actor. Beta-men just hate him due to him being unwallable.
>>214921635NIN is getting more hype than the movie
the NIN ost fucking sucks. Daft Punk mogged hard
>>214921635>I really am a fan of the Tron series and mythoswhat is this shit even about? I'm old but I've never seen any Tron movie
>>214921983The first one is about a guy getting dragged into the digital world only to realize that programs are sentient, and like in gaming they do fight to kill (de-rez) each other. He uses the opportunity to find a way to prove that the CEO of Encom was stealing his game ideas from him. The second one is about the first guy's son going to look for him decades later only to alsog et dragged in to find his father created a sentient program to "fairly rule" that digital realm, but did too good of a job at it to where the program became a dictator. He discovers that some programs are evolving to develop a form of DNA to evolve, and could leave the system.
>>214921983>what is this shit even about?users and programs
Mysterymeat negress love interest and cult Leto does not make me want to watch it.
I’ll probably see it in imax just because legacy was such a visual treat even though all signs point to it sucking ass
>>214922172Legacy was better than the first one.
>>214921635Cause it's cheap looking. They couldn't afford to make a Tron movie that takes place in a computer world so they did the 1980's uncreative concept "the fantasy/sci-fi thing leaves its world to spend the whole movie in our boring generic world." If it was done any cheaper it would have taken place in L.A
>>214921978>>214921980When I think music for a computer world the last thing I think of would be Nine Inch Nails. Daft Punk was the perfect pick and can't be topped.
>>214922356nah
>>214922356I agree
>>214922436Fuck I would have preferred somebody like Deadmouse or fucking Skrillex
>>214921635>TROON
>>214922420Disney is clearly shitting this out to hold onto the Tron IP. It was never a popular franchise despite having elements that people love. Of course they’re spending as little money as possible on production and marketing.
>>214921635I was kinda excited by the soundtrack because it was the first time trent released anything under NIN since 2021(and even that was another ambient project)but it's clear trent phoned in the score and i guess good for him for getting that disney money but it sucks that my fav band is now reduced to this
>>214922482Crystal Method>>214922420We don't know how much of the Tron realm is in the movie.
>>214922509they built an entire fucking roller coaster in their parks
>>214922482>>214922543Avicii (RIP)
>>214922535Do you really think Disney would let Trent go "I WANNA FUCK YOU LIKE AN ANIMAL" in the soundtrack? He's being kept on a leash by that PG-13 movie rating.
>>214921980this. literally the only thing this movie is hyping is a ultra-mid soundtrack
>>214922546they also built the Star Wars hotel, anon. they don't really know what they're doing.
>>214921983First movie:>Guy named Flynn works for a software company called ENCOM>He knows they stole some of his ideas but has no proof>He gets sucked into their computer world by a new technology that can digitize real world things>He learns the boss of ENCOM is working with a program called Master Control Unit to take all programs and eventually take over the world>Flynn teams up with a security program called Tron, who looks like his real world friend who made the program, to take MCU down and Flynn gets the proof he needs to show they stole his workSecond movie:>Takes place long after the first movie>Flynn has been gone since like 1989>Flynn's son has become a hacker constantly causing issues for ENCOM>Tron's creator comes to give him some info>Flynn's son ends up finding a smaller version of the same digitizing tech in the basement of Flynn's arcade>He gets sucked inside and it plays out a lot like the first movie>Difference is the bad guy is the program Flynn had made called CLU>Turns out his dad has been unable to leave because his program CLU which looks like 1980's Flynn has taken over>CLU was programmed to create the "perfect system" and took it way too literally and he eventually became a dictator exactly like MCU to ensure "perfection" in his system>As CLU was slowly becoming corrupt Flynn meets random generated computer life that has "DNA" which can be manipulated which Flynn sees as a means to help humanity>CLU sees them as abominations and genocides them>Tron sacrifices himself to let Flynn escape and go into hiding and he is corrupted by CLU to be his right hand mand>Flynn was able to save one girl who grows up and becomes the love interest of Flynn's son>Action scene near the end has Tron break the control but his fate is left unknown as he's last seen in water >Flynn sacrifices himself to destroy CLU and allow his son and the digital woman to escape to the real world>Movie ends with a cliff hanger that Flynn is still alive
>>214921889If Disney had faith in the franchise, they would've done another long ago.At this point they're just reheating anything and everything they still own because they just don't give a shit anymore. It's all money laundering.
>>214922595no i dont, but trent doesnt make that kind of music anymore anyway.I was just hoping for a soundtrack with more inspiration put into it.
>>214922543>We don't know how much of the Tron realm is in the movie.The trailer showed a half second of a bunch of warriors running towards each other in a computer world. I'm gonna call it that just a flashback and that's all we'll see of the computer world.
>>214922734>>Movie ends with a cliff hanger that Flynn is still aliveI don't remember that, the last scene is Flynn's son and Cora on a bike.
>>214922356That's not a high bar.
>>214921635No hype> Jarded leto not Garret Hedlund> NIN not Daft Punk (Chemical brothers, Gesaffelstelien, or any established electronic artists)> Ugly minorities not hot women body in body spandex> Soulless cityscape not neon light digital world> Protagonist is a women (who I am guessing is just as skilled as Flynn and also created the ability to enter the computer world) not a male, which is the entire tron audience
>>214923978There's some clip of him being interviewed while walking and he opens his shirt to reveal a tshirt saying "FLYNN LIVES" Might have been a post credit thing.
>>214924628It was a BluRay bonus. “TRON The Next Day”. It had some tie-ins with the ARG where you could play Space Paranoids online and get leaked files from Encom. It also teased some details about the MCP 2.0 and Ed Dillinger Jr. RAM also makes a cameo.
>>214921635FINAL TRAILER:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5JyJgc0PziM&pp=ygUJVHJvbiBhcmVz
>>214921635they made it expecting kamala to be electedso don't expect kino, but be grateful if it is kino
>>214926753Wew there's fucking quipping in the dialogue
>>214924352Kosinski doesn't cast hot women anymore, either. He just casts old hags. The last time he put hot women in one of his movies was Oblivion. He only casts hags now, so Gillian, the giga hag, is likely the kind of woman he'd cast if he came back. Olivia is too old and walled, and Garett looks like shit and has to hide his wrinkles with facial hair just like Leto. It's a dead IP. It ended with Legacy. MAKE SOMETHING NEW YOU RISK AVERSE FUCKING FAGGOTS.
>>214921983>>214922030's summaries are a bit wrong.Tron: Kevin Flynn has his video game designs stolen by an evil CEO, so he breaks into the business's building to find proof he's been ripped off. Said megabusiness is also developing tech that can digitize physical matter into computers. Flynn gets sent to the computer world where he discovers that when a person writes a program, that program can manifest as a likeness copy of that person inside the computer (Thus, actors play both user and program.) Flynn finds Tron, a security program written by his friend Alan, and they fight the evil Master Control Program that's been enslaving programs. Defeating him unlocks Flynn's proof when he gets sent back to the real world.Tron 2.0: Video game made non-canon by later media. An evil group develops their own digitizing tech, but their test subject gets corrupted in the process and becomes a virus. Alan's son, Jet, gets sucked into the computer world to fight him, because Tron recieved a faulty upgrade and is out of commission. Jet is "Alan 2" according to the computer, so it thought he would be the next best thing to Tron. The bad guys get ahold of corrections to their digitizing process and start sending agents into the computer world to do evil things that will affect the real world, so Jet and a digitized Alan crash the system from the inside before escaping.Tron Legacy: Sequel movie. Flynn has become a successful tech guy before suddenly disappearing, leaving a son, Sam, behind. Sam gets summoned to Flynn's secret computer lab, where he's sucked into it's computer. This is a different system from before, where programs aren't copies of users but just custom-made digital people living digital lives. Turns out Flynn had basically been playing Sims and running a simulation of society for research purposes. To administer the system while he was in the real world, he transfers Tron from the first movie's system over and creates Clu, a copy of himself to run things.
>>214927182Clu is given the instruction to make "the perfect system", which causes a rift between him and Flynn when the complex system starts spontaneously generating digital life. Flynn sees them as a miracle while Clu sees them as imperfect, uncontrolled variables, so he corrupts Tron (literally) to his side, overthrows and traps Flynn inside the computer, and genocides the emergent life.With the computer system under his totalitarian control, Clu decides the next imperfect eorld to fix should be the real world. He figures if people can get IN, programs can get OUT. But he needs Flynn's user powers to do it, and Flynn's been forced into hiding. It's a stalemate. It was CLU, not Flynn, that summoned Sam to the computer lab, to introduce a new element to the situation and break the stalement. This forced both sides to race to the portal to the real world. Flynn sacrifies himself to allow Sam and his new computer GF Quorra to escape.Tron Uprising: Cartoon series, set in the Tron Legacy system, between Clu's initial coup and the events of that movie. In a neighbouring (digital) city in the computer world to the (digital) city where the movie took place, Tron has managed to go into hiding after the coup. Said city has just become occupied by one of Clu's generals. Tron can't fight the good fight as he's damaged from the coup, so he reluctantly recruits Beck, a citizen of the occupied city, to become the next Tron. Then it's basically Batman Beyond. Despite being REALLY GOOD, Disney fucked it over and cancelled the second season, not explaining how Tron gets to his fully corrupted state in Legacy.
>>214922482>>214922562Bad ragebait
>>214922595Amazing how that one song became the symbol for NIN meanwhile most of his music isn't like that at all
>>214921889The first Tron movie also didn't have much beyond the early technical stuff, the script barely wasn't there and the visuals obviously aged like shit.Tron Legacy is so much better, it is ridiculous that there are people seriously claiming the first one is better, plus it took over 10 years for everyone admitting what a genre defining masterpiece Tron Legacy is.Tron Ares just looks like Adam Sandlers Pixels, but in serious.
>>214928818>visuals aged like shitthe visuals are great, they don't need to look ultra realistic because they are ultra stylizedthe design in better in the original than Legacy, only Uprising comes close and perhaps the 2.0 game
>>214922436I agree. If anything, it just makes me want a new NIN album. Tron isn't really their lane.
DEADLIFE SHOULDVE MADE THE SOUNDTRACK TO TRON 3SIMPLE AShttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KfFURTg0rY&list=RD1KfFURTg0rY&start_radio=1
>>214921635I know it's a fantasy movie but bringing the Tron effects into the real world makes no sense. On the grid it's fine as the rules can be whatever Flynn decided they were. In the real world there's gravity, physics, thermodynamics, inertia... so none of those cool machines and weapons should work at all.
>>214929357i agree 100%but as someone else said disney is cheap and its cheaper for them to bring the shit into our world damned the rules, just like hyperspace ramming, they don't care
>>214929357i mean what i like about Tron is going to another world, i don't want to see that world in our shithole reality
>>214929357but isnt the tron world bleeding into the real world thoughmake sense if it was
>>214929452the amount of power it would take to turn anything from the grid into real matter would be massive, it only worked with Qurra because she was literally made from Flynns matter that was stuck in the grid
>>214929357Who the fuck invited you bro? get the fuck out of here, you fucking FAGGOT!
it really feels like one of those “unofficial” types of movies that get made like the random straight to DVD hellraiser films. how did this even get made?
>>214929496because the best Black Director in history wanted to make it
>>214929496because Star Wars is dead so they went back to the other sci-fi IP they own and need to hold onto
>>214929431everyone in the real world being depressed and fleeing to tron would have been an interesting angle
>Jared LetoI love Tron but nah. Will never see this.
>>214921635Movies are massively declining in cultural relevance every year. Almost nobody cares anymore.
>>214921964His only good role is an heroing in Lord of War
The only hype this had was the new NIN music. They made an error releasing it ahead of the movie. Now that people have listened to the album and found it lackluster, the hype is pretty much dead.Only people loving Leto are trying to defend this piece of shit.However, I think the music doesn't appeal to NIN fans. As a Boys Noize fan, I have an album he produced 80% of the songs, so I liked it. This and the special effects are all I need to say I'll see this one opening week.Tron Legacy had a shit story but the SFX and music carried it. I expect the same for this one.
>>214930521yes i'll be going as well, usually i just watch camrips but i love Tron's visuals so i'm going to see it even if i know the story is going to be shit
You're never going to get a peak Tron film because the ideas/values the IP is based on are antithetical to Disney.
Just watched Legacy again, it was so cool I am actually less hyped for Ares now. The trailer looks like dogshit.Maybe Jared Leto can pull it out of the fire but I doubt it.
>>214930546I remember watching the camrip for Tron Legacy during my skiing vacations in the Alps and I felt I was missing something, so when I returned home, I went to see it in theaters, in 3D. 2010 really was a different world.
Reminder that however the movie turns out, good or bad, it exists solely because Leto pushed for it.Disney would have been happy to shelve it forever.
>>214921635i don't like troons
>>214930689it was really good in 3D, only Coraline looked better in 3Dbut yeah visuals were great, a bit dark due to the glasses though.
>>214930728>it exists solely because Leto pushed for itwhat pull does he have at disney? Especially after he's been attached to such notable flops
>>214930728we'll see how it is, because honestly it might have been better shelved forever
>>214921964>evil, weird, soulless psychopathSo robotic? Perfect casting!
>>214921635Has anything generated any hype this year? Is anyone excited about anything that Hollywood is bringing out? I can't remember the last movie I was hyped to see.
>>214921889Doesn't mean jackshit.Tron was always an overrated tech demo at best. The cult-like following is fucking bizarre to me.
>>214921983As someone who was introduced to Tron in KHII, I always thought it was a mythological epic set in a digital realm, only to find out it was a glorified commercial for early CGI demonstrations and nothing else. I don't even remember the human casts names desu.>Tron = tech demo>Tron Legacy = edgelord slop>Tron Ares = woke emasculation propagandaThere was also that one Disney Channel Tron series from the early 2010s that barely anyone watched and got canceled.
>>214922356Is that why it bombed harder than the first one?
>>214922420>Cause it's cheap lookingMost of Disney's CGIslop over the past 5 years has looked considerably cheaper compared to a decade ago. They might be running out of money. Even the upcoming Mandolorian and Grogu looks unfinished.
>>214921635I'd have no idea what was going on about anything in the world if it wasn't for this site, and if something isn't posted, truly organically here, then I'll never kkow about it.viral marketing however goes straight in the bin - I'm just never going to watch it.wouldn't mind seeing tron, is probably better in the cinema. would have been cool to see the original like that.
>>214922509The amount of flops they've had this year wiped whatever profit they made from the shitty Lilo and Stitch remake.
>>214931306i saw the orignal when it came out in the theatre it was amazing honestly, seeing the recognizer fly over the tank, the giant Sark, lightcycle maze etc, was lucky enough to get soem of the figures and lightcycles with the pull cord which my dogs would go chasing after
>>214922535>trent phoned in the score and i guess good for him for getting that disney moneyThe score was mostly co-produced by pop producers.
