The future of TRON

Well the DVD of TRON LEGACY arrives April 5th in many packages. Rumors are that a bonus on the disc may well be a sneak peek at TRON 3.

Having read around, it looks like the movie did about 392 million world wide and a sequel is green lit with rumors of the Dillingers as the villains (yes plural, father and son.)

Could be interesting, and I think I know of a way get Flynn back.

In the movie his ID disc was stolen and given to Clu 2 and then they got back. Flynn then anticipates Clu and plays the old shell game by switching discs with Quorra. Thus when Sam and Quorra leave they take Kevin's disc while Kevin makes the big sacrifice.

However the disc is more then just the golden ticket and master key as Flynn put it.

"everything you do or learn is imprinted on your disc". So your knowledge and memories are there, and quite possibly brainwaves/personality if you are a user though that isn't confirmed. But IF that is the case, then if Sam decides to rebuild the Grid and he still has his father's disc, that disc could conceivably be used to recreate Kevin or perhaps more accurately, Kevin 2.0. This backup copy of Kevin would have all his memories up to the point of his disc being taken in the End of Line club since he didn't seem to interface with it to update it before switching discs with Quorra.

All they need to do is tell him what he is and what happened with Kevin and Clu 2 and then he can decide to either stick around and pursue the dream of building the Grid or derezz himself if he doesn't think he should exist.

If Quorra can leave the Grid then I'd say anything goes since she is more a program then a human. So booting up a back up of Kevin could be done

I can also see his disc still being coveted for all the secrets, ideas and knowledge that he had.

I wouldn't be surprised though if TRON 3 involves Dillinger Jr attacking the company from within with his father working on the outside somewhere to attack Encom and if such is the case I'd expect a new MCP and a Sark 2.0 to arise, in which case TRON will be needed once again. Alan in the real world aiding them while Sam and Tron are on the Grid saving the day from within the system. Could be a good thing.

Also can we please cast the actor that played Sam Flynn as the son of Indiana Jones instead of Shia?

As much of a fan I am, I don't want TRON 3.

Enjoyed Legacy, I think that a part 3 might be nice to see. There's also a Tron series in the works also.

TRON to me, has always been a video game movie.

I liked how in the first TRON, all the games were very 2D in scope representative of the type of games of the time: Pong, Breakout, Snake, BattleZone.

The second movie, had more 3D updates of the same games, representing the Nintendo Game Cube, XBox and PS2 eras, as well as added a Star Fox shooter type game.

I hope in the third movie, we could see current gen games represented.

Last I heard, the current cast had signed for two sequels, so.....

We live in the age of franchises, my friend. And trilogies. You may thank Uncle George for that....my understanding is that everyone bar Bridges was signed to two more movies, and that the story will from the end of Legacy.

I got a idea.. It might seem strange for the next one, but why not make TRON 3 about the redemption of Dillinger and RINZLER/TRON. It would make more sense considering the bad names both would have in their respective worlds. I think it would throw a spin on how we would see Dillinger Jr and also make the story about redemption and reconciliation of the Flynn's and Dillinger's. It might start out with the Dillingers wanting revenge and control of ENCOM, but something happens and forces them into the GRID changing their whole perceptions about life and control and making them wanting to be better men Yeah it sounds corny and lame and (gasp) Disney .

But seriously it would be interesting to see and would not be the normal storyline.

Even if they don't use that idea, I hope they explain one thing from Legacy. A friend of mines and I noticed CLU's line to SAM about him being the only one who got his message. It even seemed like CLU might not have sent the message at all. I would like that issue explained in Tron 3

Flynn assumed it was CLU2 who sent the page . CLU2 was glad it was SAM or any user that came because he knew it would involve Flynn back into the activity of the GRID. If this was CLU2, he assumed someone else would come not SAM . Also TRON/RINZLER had to be involved in everything, because TRON got turned on the day CLU2 betrayed Flynn. By all accounts as Rinzler, he was most definatly involved in all the murders and genocide that he caused. Hell he wasn't converted back till the end of Legacy when he announced he fought for the users again and fell into the Sea of Simulation and his armor turned back. So for 20 year or whatever grid time there was Rinzler was doing a lot of bad things that he needs to make up for and would weigh heavy on his/TRON's heart.

I know CLU2 was waiting on someone else. Because if CLU2 was in the GRID the whole time, how was he able to communicate with a pager device? I'm telling ya this isn't a writing gap since the same writers were contracted for TRON3 as well. CLU2, for all his character flaws was honest . Brutal but honest(even when you read BETRAYAL he is honest in his motives). He never said he sent the page. He just asked SAM was he the only one who got the page to come. He had no way of communicating with the outside world or what was going on with the outside world till he even looked at SAM's disc. Remember CLU wasn't the MCP. He had no way to acess our real world or internet technology like the MCP had even back in 82..

Maybe we can call it bad writing, but I dont think the writers were that insulting to the audience leaving them hanging like that without a third one to answer those questions .
