Tr2n Renamed Something Even Stupider
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.
