EXCLUSIVE: New 'Tron' Will Be 'Stand-Alone Sequel' With Lightcycles, Tanks And Other Odes To The Original

Posted 7/22/09 6:00 pm EST by in Comic-Con, News

'Tron'Trooooooon! Say it like you’re James T. Kirk shaking your fist at genetically-engineered mortal enemy Khaaaaaaaaaaan!

That was my reaction the first time I heard about Disney’s planned sequel to “Tron,” the classic 1982 sci-fi adventure about a man named Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) who is electronically trapped by an evil artificial intelligence inside a computer mainframe. And it still captures how pumped I am for the new film which, as producer Sean Bailey confirmed to MTV News, will honor the roots of the original—lightcycles, tanks and more—while acting as what he termed a “stand-alone sequel.”

“You don’t have to know the ’82 movie to come in and appreciate and enjoy this one,” he explained. “That said, we accept what happened in the ’82 movie happened in ’82. Our movie is set in 2010. We built a mythology that spans the intervening 28 years of, ‘Here’s what we think happened with Kevin Flynn and with [nefarious software corporation] ENCOM and all those principle characters. Here’s what we think happened inside the Tron universe and in the real world.” Read More...

EXCLUSIVE: What's Going On At The 'Tron' Comic-Con Panel? MTV News Has The Goods

Posted 7/21/09 12:00 pm EST by in Comic-Con, News

TronOur Comic-Con preview continues today with what is surely one of the most anticipated films of the San Diego gathering: Disney's updated take on 1982’s man-in-the-machine mind-frak "Tron." Quite a change from 2008’s "Tron" at Con brain-melting bombshell.

“Last year we had the benefit of surprise,” "Tron" producer Sean Bailey told MTV News. “We had some visual test stuff to show that no one knew we had [prepared], which is really fun to be able to surprise a crowd that is pretty much unsurprise-able.”

That visual test showed off a high-tech clip of a lightcycle race—a take on one of the many iconic scenes from the original film—and the crowd went wild. Cut to 2009: with the “Tron” shoot having wrapped in Vancouver just a week ago, the task for filmmakers is both the same and quite different: everyone is well aware of a new “Tron” and there’s not a ton of complete footage available to show off.

Posted 7/30/08 2:16 pm EST by in Comic-Con, News

'Monsters, Inc.'They did it with “Toy Story” twice. They’re doing it with “Cars” next. They’ve been rumored to want to do it with “The Incredibles” for years. Pixar is officially in the sequel business these days, with further installments of some of their most popular franchises in the works.

So how come we never hear about “Monsters, Inc. 2”?

“We’ve thought about it,” “Monsters, Inc.” director Pete Docter told MTV News about the possibility for a sequel. “We’ve got a couple ideas.”

In the moment, those ideas are being filtered into a “Monsters, Inc” roller-coaster at the Walt Disney Resorts, which should open in a couple of years. Read More...

Would You Touch Paris Hilton? A Philosophical Question To Ponder...

Posted 7/29/08 5:58 pm EST by in Comic-Con, Photos

Over the weekend at Comic-Con I was given the opportunity to moderate the panel for "Repo: The Genetic Opera," a crazy out there (in a good way) rock opera starring the likes of Paris Hilton, Alexa Vega, Paul Sorvino(!). You can check out our exclusive clips right here.

After I interviewed Paris and Alexa and before the public panel started I got a picture with the lovely young ladies as did MTV News producer Todd Brown. It was only after I closely studied the photos that I noticed a bizarre phenomenon. Take a look at my pic and you'll see what I'm talking about.

This begs the question: why did I so conspicuously not rest my hand on Paris' back? Was I nervous? Was her slight figure too narrow for me to get my bearings and know where to place my hand? Surely this was a unique problem to me. But no... Read More...
