The sequel to Tron is set to be released some time in 2011, and today we have some spoiler details from our friends over at Latinoreview.com. Now I myself don't mind spoilers, I kind of dig having the inside track on what's going to happen in a movie. Knowing what path a film is taking me down is what gets me exited and wanting to know more.
Tron is a major movie for me. As a kid very much into video games, arcades and computers, this movie saw a lot of play in the old VHS. The movie was different from anything I had ever seen before, and even then i knew it was something special. That's why for years after I expected a Tron sequel, but to my surprise it never came. So here we are over 25 years later awaiting a Tron sequel, and I cannot be more exited to see this film!
Here are the spoilerific details:
The story takes place approximately 25 years after the original.
The movie starts in 1989. Kevin Flynn (Bridges) has created some of the world's top selling games based on his Game Grid challenges in the first film, and has marketed the hell out of what he saw there (action figures, Recognizer night lights, yadda yadda yadda).
Flynn has a seven year old son named Sean.
Flynn disappears, leaving behind his son.
Alan Bradley (Boxleitner) takes over Flynn's company (ENCOM).
Jump forward in time: Sean is now twenty something.
Alan Bradley has info that leads Sean to look for Flynn.
Search takes Sean to Flynn's old arcade - mothballed.
Into the computer world goes Sean.
There's a CLU character (Flynn's computer alter-ego from the first film).
Flynn has programmed CLU to run around and make a better computer world, but CLU's gone corrupt and is creating his own interpretation of that perfect world. This is why CLU (young Bridges) is being such a punk-ass in that Comic Con footage we saw.
CLU has it out for a kind of program called ISOs & wants to eradicate them.
The ISOs believe Sean Flynn is the one who will free them from CLU's belligerence.
Somewhere in the computer world, the real Kevin Flynn is whizzing around in a classic Light Cycle. Will he help in the battle against CLU?
Light Jets have jet walls, too.
Light Cycles versus Light Jets.
Big Disc battle!
The return of Jeff Bridges as Flynn has my Lightcycle motor Revin!!
2011 seems so far away now!
