Time for some mid-month madness with TRON screams. I was re-watching the original TRON and ran across this hysterical screen grab – a new meme format was born:
Jeff Bridges can scream at me any day. He had this to say about the new Tron: Ares – “When we did the original, we shot it 70 millimeter, black and white. And then it was all hand tinted by these women in Korea,” Bridges reminisces about Tron. “The second Tron, I got scanned, and they put me into the computer, and they made a young version of myself. Now this next version is using all of the modern technology to make it even more thrilling and, you know, exciting. I have a smaller part, but it was great to be a part of the legacy.”
Part of me is excited for the TRON sequel but another part of me is like, Jared Leto … um, yeah. Hopefully it’s better than the Akira live adaptation – or maybe Akira will be better than Tron. Who knows?
‘Ever since being announced back in 2002, the new take on Akira has been passed around to several filmmakers, with the most recent being Oscar winner and Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi. Now, Lazar, who is best known for the likes of American Sniper and this month’s action movie G20, has revealed (via Johan Albrechtsen of Moovy TV) that, while he can’t say anything yet, he expects there will be some big news coming “in the next couple of months.”’
So yeah, Mid-Month Madness: TRON Screams and an update on other scifi movies. I know I said this on Monday but, we’ll see.
