Tr2n Renamed Something Even Stupider
Posted at 3:01 PM Dec 01, 2008
For some reason, the brain trust at Disney refuses to name the Tron sequel Tron 2. I'm not sure why they hate this title so much, but they clearly do, and their hate is so blinding that they were willing to call the movie the asinine Tr2n, which has now been changed to...wait for it...TRZ.
"Trizz"? "Terz"? What the fuck does that even mean? I don't know, but the answer will certainly make me sad. At any rate, /Film has a new plot synopsis of the film from the same source, and some insight:
"After being transported into the surreal landscape of a mainframe computer to destroy an intruder, a programmer finds himself allied with the leader of a rebellion against a corrupt cyber-entity." The early test footage/trailer shown at comic con featured Jeff Bridges, reprising his role as a programmer named Flynn from the first film, but possibly with a turn to the dark side. If the new plot synopsis is true, this would mean that Flynn is teaming with a new programmer to defend the system from his former friend Tron.I'm not sure how that means Tron is the bad guy, especially since it was Bridges who was sporting the evil red glowy shit during the teaser trailer from SDCC. But the idea that either Tron or Bridges has become the bad guy excited me in very nerdy, very obscene ways.

Oh, God...Why do I have the sinking feeling it stands for "Tron Rulz"???
Maybe it's Tron Resurrection (hat-tip to the Alien series, lol)??
Perhaps Tron Rates Zero?

Posted 12/01/2008 at 01:04:19 PMBetter idea: don't do it at all and let this die a merciful death.
Tron was unwatchable 20 years ago, got knows how laughably bad it would look now.
This may be the one movie that makes speed racer look well thought out.

Posted 12/01/2008 at 02:13:35 PMAm I the only one who thinks Lolcats should be the villains in this one?
And Tron 2.0 should definitely be the title. They should at least stick with something pronouncable.

Why not Tron 2.0? Or if they're dead set on a weird spelling how about 2ron? Oi.
Posted 12/01/2008 at 07:00:11 PMAn actual decent copy of that teaser never showed up, did it? And even the ones that *were* up have been pulled down.
Why release a teaser for a movie if you're not going to allow anyone to see it?

Come to think of it...I don't think it did :s
Posted 12/01/2008 at 11:59:28 PMEver since Dragonball Z, everyone slaps Z on all sorts of shit...
Posted 12/02/2008 at 09:23:22 AMIt should be titled "TRON: end of line..." that's WAY more kick-as than TRZ!
Posted 12/02/2008 at 12:35:05 PMugh. The Dude should not abide this.
