Greetings, Programs!
How is everybody? May the cycles have been kind to you and may you be well. Been watching some footage of the recent TRON 40th Anniversary at D-23 2022 on YouTube.
Some interesting things:
1)Bruce is back on board - he said that he would be down to do another movie and that he wouldn't be at D-23 if he wasn't; While that is good, is the house of mouse actually listening? After cancelling the planned John Ridley D+ series, after derezzing TRON: Uprising prematurely, and after all the back-and-forth and endless excuses about whether a 3rd film is or isn't happening, I'll believe a 3rd film exists when I see new footage of one; With the existence of D+, the whole, "Marvel/Star Wars is guaranteed to print $$$$$" argument is not gonna fly this time;
2)New TRON Game coming 2023 - TRON: Identity is a detective-type game taking place 1,000 years (in The GRID time) after TRON: Legacy. They showed still shots of some new characters such as PROXY (she reminds me of Lupita Nyongo), ADA, and QUERY (a devotee of TRON) and it appears to take place in the TRON system (Kevin's private isolated server in Legacy and Uprising). It looks AWESOME and looks like there are pre-orders on Steam. Maybe at some point, someone will connect that private server to the ENCOM server so that we can get an upgraded look akin to the TRON 2.0 aesthetic. Sounds kinda like L.A. Noire meets The Grid. Check gameinformer.com (tried posting the link, but it kept messing up).
3 - Tron Coaster at WDW: Looks like they are finally reaching the finish line at WDW Orlando. A YouTube video mentioned it's set to open in Spring 2023. I remember being at WDW a few years ago and seeing it in construction - it's right next to Space Mountain.
End of Line.
