Hopefully it will not be “TRON: Voyager” (think star trek)

TRON 2 is going to be a nightmare to make.

Its biggest critics and fans will be gamers, who will expect to see a cross between “300”, “Counter-Strike”, “Halo 3” and “World of Warcraft”.

It might actually be better to make the technology for TRON 2 so advanced that it is like The Matrix, going for a realism-plus look instead of a stylized computer graphics look.

That is, it is easier and maybe better to dress up Brent Spiner as an android then to make an android that looks like Brent Spiner. It can go wrong either way, but there is nothing they can put on the screen that will exceed the imagination.

The original TRON, with its antiquated computer graphics actually helped the actors because the plot had to be slower and they had to go for a “vast expanses, but still enclosed” look to the virtual sets.

If you look at computer games today, you can’t move five feet without something happening.

Most likely, it will end up as a lame excuse, like Lawnmower Man, that just becomes silly when it goes virtual.
