They've been hard at work at Digital Domain on this one since wrapping "Speed Racer." It doesn't come out until Dec 2010, but it's another that was designed from the start to be 3D (like "Avatar"). The director, Joe Kosinski, is a former 3D Animator who's directed some gorgeous commercials under the wing of David Fincher.

I'm stoked about TRON. I was completely captivated by the original when it came out. I will be seeing the sequel in 3D IMAX theater for sure.

I think we found the next movie that will top the box office openning day and all time grossing film records.

Re: Tron: Legacy

One lesson which might be learned from this year's Academy Awards is that people are more interested in stories about real people rather than in animated comic books, no matter how well done the animated comic books are.

Re: Tron: Legacy

Lindy - not sure I agree with you, as much as I'd like to. The Academy was more interested in awarding 'The Hurt Locker' than 'Avatar', but box office receipts certainly point to 'Avatar' being much more in line with the 'peoples choice'.

While studios will continue to produce marquee pictures to generate prestige during awards season, they will still be primarily driven by chasing box office receipts. Given the monetary success of 'Avatar' we'll see much more of that kind of movie - especially the 3D aspect (one of the most deplorable aspects of 'Avatar's success - but I guess I'm a little old-fashioned).

Re: Tron: Legacy

Lindy, you may be correct, but the latter tends to make a shitload of money.

Re: Tron: Legacy

Certainly the public and the people who vote for the Academy Awards are disparate groups.

H.L. Mencken observed “Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public.”

People watch American Idol, too.

Nice. That's one I'll probably have to see in the theaters...
