Talk:Tron: Legacy

Appearance by Tron Guy

yup that's right it is rumored that Tron Guy will in the movie —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.100.49.184 (talk) 18:08, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

And? Do you have sources, or are you just spreading rumours? magnius (talk) 23:34, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

This thread does smack of forum chatter, doesn't it? --McDoobAU93 (talk) 00:28, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Yep. So where's a good forum to discuss the new movie? Cousert (talk)

two major items

a) there MUST be an official citation from Disney showing that this film is in production before it is added to List of Disney feature films. One of you who are familiar with editing this page should be able to track one down. The comiccon trailer is not an official announcement, as that was merely proof-of-concept. Yes, I know about the D23 announcement stating the Tron footage will be shown at Expo, but that doesn't count either. b) this page should be renamed to "Tron (2011 film)" from its current Tron 2.0, as there is no proof that the 2.0 name is real. SpikeJones (talk) 12:14, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

.... and now we're down to one major item, as the film has, while not been officially officially announced, made it into a Disney press release for its announcement at Comic-Con. What's left is that there is a high probability that the name of this article will change. Chances are "Tron (2011 film)" is going to be what it is, but we'll need to wait some more before that decision is made. SpikeJones (talk) 02:01, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

They're not going to simply call it "Tron" as it is a sequel, and it is still far too early to speculate on what its final title will be. I do think that this article should be renamed to the more generic "Tron 2" "Tron sequel" or "Unnamed Tron sequel". magnius (talk) 10:04, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

"Unnamed Tron Sequel" would qualify as a reason to get the article speedily deleted (if it's unnamed, then how is it encyclopedic?). "Tron 2" is too generic and potentially confusing with "Tron 2.0". "Tron (2011 film)" is the most specific name based on what we currently know. Regardless, it's not something we need to take care of now, but to be aware of once the official name announcement is made. SpikeJones (talk) 14:33, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Having seen the officially released synopsis, you could be right about the title being just "TRON", although I hope this changes as it is rather confusing. magnius (talk) 17:20, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Image removed

Aside from there not being a single reliable source, this image is not going to be used in the film by the artists own admission: [1]. Therefore, I am removing the image until something verifiable comes along. magnius (talk) 15:20, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

As well as removal of fanart, I am removing the Daniel Simon picture as the sourced article does not explicitly state that this cycle is a concept from the film, it seems just to be an example of Simon's work from here [2]. magnius (talk) 15:25, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Richard Jefferies

Are we sure that this guy was involved in writing the film? --Kelseigh (talk) 15:52, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Well of course he wasn't, clearly a simple error that you could have sorted out in less time that it took you to post this stupid question. magnius (talk) 16:04, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

I honestly had no idea who the actual writer was, but thanks for the condescending insult, it's really encouraging. --Kelseigh (talk) 15:07, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Be nice..., Rhetth (talk) 17:54, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Heart of Darkness

There's a lot of discussion on whether Tron Legacy is inspired by Heart of Darkness. One earlier script was, and apparently the film script doesn't, but the trailer sure seems to hint at it. Regardless, the relationship between the two works seems to be strong. JAF1970 (talk) 04:57, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Canon

It would seem that the game Tron 2.0 isn't going to be regarded as canon. In the game, Flynn didn't disappear in 1989, as there are more modern e-mail conversations. The Tron wiki over at Wikia says Steven Lisberger doesn't consider the game as canon either. --Mosquitopsu (talk) 16:58, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

That's hardly a surprise, the game didn't sell too well and the majority of the audience would have no idea what the plot was (I know I don't). magnius (talk) 17:36, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

On the other hand, there's an item you have to recover in the game which is called the Tron Legacy code. I think the similarity to the new movie's title is more than a coincidence. Devil Master (talk) 17:44, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

AFAIR, the Tron Legacy Code is named so because it's a replacement/upgrade of Tron. Any similarity to the movie is likely only coincidence.--Cyberman TM (talk) 17:20, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

As always, we'll need verifiable info from reliable sources before this is anything more than speculation. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 19:39, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Similarities to Other Works

Just commenting that the trailer highly reminds me of Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash. Then again, the original Tron came way earlier. Quantalume Wanderer (talk) 06:50, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Number of sequels?

Are there plans to do more than one sequel if the first is successful? Maybe a trilogy? Cousert (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:48, 31 July 2009 (UTC).

Don't know. No reliable sources exist to say whether there are any plans like that yet. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 19:40, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

link to director

Shouldn't there be a wikilink to Joseph Kosinski? Or am I missing something? Please, be gentle. Rhetth (talk) 17:51, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Of course there should, but you also added a load of redlinks which was the reason for the revert. I hadn't noticed that you has created a page for the director, up until now he has been a redlink too. magnius (talk) 17:53, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Red links are extremely useful because they are excellent in identifying articles that need creation. This is especially true in a case where a simple search with the string "Joseph Kosinski" shows about a dozen or so Wikipedia articles mentioning the red-linked subject. In such a case, the red link identifies that the article is needed but not yet created. We should not de-link red links unless it is unlikely that an article about the subject will be created. It's always a good idea to click the red link and check the Special:WhatLinksHere link as well as to do a search of Wikipedia with the string in question before de-linking any red links.
