I had the honor and pleasure to interview Cindy Morgan this weekend at Wonder Con, what a dream that was for me. Growing up a huge Tron fan I never thought I would get the opportunity to even meet or talk to her. This weekend a little boys dream cam true. Cindy was so gracious with her time with me, she took the time out of her days to answer a few questions for me. This is part one of my interview with Cindy. We talked about the 1982 film TRON and about why she was excluded from TRON LEGACY . I even got her to talk about her first film Caddyshack . I think that enough from me now onto our interview. My first question for her was... How was it playing the role of Lora/Yori in the Original TRON film. And how she felt when she first saw the script for the film. It was great, she is more like me then you know. I looked at the character Lora and I when I got the job it was almost immediately. I came into one meeting and I was put on camera with Jeff, I hadn't rea

MTV spoke with  Bruce Boxleitner and the question on everyone’s mind: will there be a third “Tron” film? “I think 'Tron: Legacy' left it open-ended,” Boxleitner said in an interview with MTV News. “You see two beautiful people riding off into the sunrise, and Quora seeing sunrise for the first time. That leaves it open to imagination and speculation." Boxleitner has played two characters in the “Tron” series, Alan Bradley and Tron… three if you count the brainwashed Rinzler from “Tron: Legacy” who is revealed to be Tron himself. Although he left it to someone else to suit up for the physical acrobatics shown on screen, it’s Boxleitner who voiced the character "We also saw Cillian Murphy and the boardroom at ENCOM when Sam pulled the stunt in the beginning," he continued. "All these things have been left hanging out there.” “ Rinzler is the attack dog for Clu – and through the movie the character made a journey back to redemption,” the actor points o

There are no light bikes or flying discs, but there's still plenty fot the Tron: Legacy faithful to enjoy in this new short film, Tron: The Next Day , which has just surfaced online. Culled from the forthcoming DVD and Blu-Ray , it's a gap-bridging exercise filling in what happened at ENCOM in the years between the original film and Legacy, and charting the activities of the underground Flynn Lives movement. Watch the clip after the Jump... There are spoilers ahoy for those who haven't caught Legacy yet, so beware, but let's just say the feature makes good use of cast members old and new, and that the eventual reveal of the mysterious Zakattack's true identity is fun. We thought it was Banksy, but it isn't. Please Leave A Comment- Source- Empire

Aint it Cool News has confirmed a recent rumour from What’s Playing that a second “Tron” sequel is on it’s way to being greenlit. According to Harry Knowles, “ TRON Legacy ”, released in December to mixed reviews, is “set to cross $300 million worldwide” and “has proved, beyond a doubt that there is an audience that buys this science fiction fantasy.” But it’s not just the film that’s helped the brand biggen – the merchandise (those light cycles; action figures, and so on) and CD soundtrack (by Daft Punk) have also helped Tron’s case. “Disney is beginning to realize, TRON could be a franchise”, wrote Knowles. In December, What’s Playing’s Hollywood Insider column reported that the “creatives and execs involved in the latest film are pushing on under the assumption that the film will make a profit, and for that reason, they’re already brainstorming over the next sequel.” One of the ideas being tossed around for the next sequel includes incorporating the character of Yori, pla

25% Comes From Imax Theaters Tron: Legacy crossed the $100 million mark at the domestic box office on Tuesday. The movie, budgeted at $170 million, which has been in U.S. theaters for 12 days, has also made around $75 million overseas. The most interesting note about the domestic number is that almost a quarter of the box office receipts -- about $25 million -- are from IMAX theaters . Tron is playing in 3,451 theaters across Canada and the U.S., with only 235 of those being IMAX houses. For that low count to generate 25% of the gross is astonishing. And a record proportion for IMAX. Read more after the Jump.. But while that is good news for IMAX, it’s not necessarily good news for Disney. IMAX filmgoers tend to be in the 15 to 34-year-old demo and are -- how shall I put it? -- geekier than the average person. So the numbers reveal that while the tentpole is performing solidly in its core demo, it’s ability to break out into a broader audience might remain a bit elusive, despit

Tron: Legacy Movie Review By: SandwichJohn Alright let's start this again. Two hours of writing my review have been lost, but I have to get this done so let's start all over again. This is my life. The original Tron came out back in 1982 and I don't remember going to see it in theater but I do remember wearing out our Beta machine watching the movie over and over again. Going in the back yard while living in Sagamihara,Japan and playing disc wars with a Frisbee, throwing them at my buddies and pretending we were in the arena. This has to be one of the most anticipated films for me in my life time other then the release of Star Wars Episode 1 . I have been hoping and wishing that they would make a sequel for more than 20 years. I attended my first Comic-Con back in 2008 and there was buzz that there was going to be a tron panel during the Disney presentation. We got a teaser trailer TR2N . It depicted a yellow Program engaged in a light cycle battle with a blue Pr

REREZZED – By Khameleon808 VIDEO: Tron: Legacy AUDIO: The Glitch Mob – Animus Vox This is my first Trailer/Feature and I had alot of fun making it.

They came out with their video right around the time I was finishing mine up, and I still hadnt thought of a title. So I thought it would be fun to keep the name scheme similar as well as the feel of the setup. No ha
