The former thread was full of so much old info about past iterations of the project that will have nothing to do with this one, so I figured it was best to just start clean with a new thread now that casting is in full swing...

While the two previous movies were largely set inside the world of computers and programs, the script for Ares, written by Jesse Wigutow and Jack Thorne, is said to focus on the emergence of a sentient program that crosses over into the human world that is not ready for contact.
Quote:
Leto will play Ares, the manifestation of a program that becomes sentient and crosses over into the human world, with Lee as a video game programmer and tech company CEO who aims to protect her world-changing technology.
So why does everyone dislike Jared Leto now? Is it his turn as the Joker? I'm pretty indifferent toward him. But it's interesting to see, because he was riding high after winning the Oscar a decade ago.
He has always come across like a pretentious ****** to me.
It has less to do with his acting and more to do with him simply being one of the most annoying celebs on the planet. He's just a spacey weirdo ******. He's also kind of creepy, as he's always hitting on younger women, with accusations that some of those women have potentially been *too* young, legally speaking.

Can two former Jokers exist on the same set without threatening the space-time continuum?
Ha, didn't even think of that.

I'm gonna watch this bc I love Tron. It's probably the single biggest reason I'm a nerd who loves computers. However, I'm not getting good vibes about this from just this little bit of news.
Disney should have figured out how to make this movie happen when Olivia Wylde and that dude (whose name I never remember) from Legacy were still in their grasp.

When asked if Kimmel ever had to hide his disdain for a guest, he chose the actor/rocker. "He was so insufferably satisfied with himself that I wanted to strangle him,"

Cillian Murphy was in one scene.
Right, but the plan was for him to star in the third movie. They had a script and everything.
Huh? Got a link?
Is a third movie being made solely to hype the new ride at Disney?
Honestly, it's not a bad reason to make it.
We whiffed 3 times trying to get in the virtual queue last week. Which led me to my wife having to listen to me explain for 15 minutes about my idea for my time-travel film based on The Carousel of Progress.Brian Earl Spilner said:

I like that idea.
Lot of good actors in the movie at least

I want to see them tie this in to the extended Morbius universe.

That's something coming from Kimmel, who is about as smug and self satisfied as it gets.

Hmm, not sure how I feel about this if they are going to be in the real world most of the time. Sounds like Leto is going to be the Terminator 1000 super cyber intelligence version.

Completely different concept from the first two movies and not one I'm particularly interested in. The world of Tron is what makes it interesting. A rehash of half of the sci-fi movies in existence doesn't really move the needle for me.
Yep, in Tomorrowland.

Wait, is this confirmed? Really hope not as the world of Tron is the whole draw for me.
The biggest bummer is we don't have Daft Punk around anymore.
For sure. Even if every other aspect of the movie looked terrible, I would be looking forward to the soundtrack.Quote:

Don't know. Pulled it from TCs quotes above.

Quote:
"Tron 3 delivers on the promise of Tron Legacy, particular the final scenes," elaborates the director. "There's a big clue there as to where we'll go with the next one. There's some characters we establish at the beginning of Tron Legacy who have a much larger role in Tron 3." Sounds like Cillian Murphy's Edward Dillinger Jr. will have some work to do next time around, following in the footsteps of his previous work playing a son-of-a-CEO role in Inception.
Quote:
Those who have seen (or are familiar with) the TRON 3 teasers released with the Legacy Blu-ray shouldn't be too surprised by the following from Kosinski about the planned role of the Dillinger clan in the third TRON movie:The dynamic between Dillinger and his son in TRON 3 would also serve as an appropriate foil to the relationship between Sam Flynn (Garret Hedlund) and his father Kevin (Jeff Bridges) that was touched on in Legacy. It would be all the more fitting for TRON 3 to feature the flesh-and-blood Dillinger Jr. as the antagonist, also in contrast to Legacy's Clu 2.0 - who could essentially be thought of as Kevin Flynn's "digital son." The creator/creation motif has been central to the TRON franchise so far, and TRON 3 doesn't look to deviate from that approach.Quote:
"Dillinger [David Warner] was a really important part of the first ['TRON'] and felt like an easy way to continue that storyline and thread to have his son (Cillian Murphy) in ['TRON: Legacy']. That way you have people ask those questions of what the Dillinger legacy is in the world of TRON. We didn't want to ignore it completely and it leaves a really nice springboard for some intertwining development for the next film."
