Well, guess it will be released on Streaming soon then.

Maybe they will let Joseph Kosinski make TRON movies, especially now that he has done TG-Maverick and F1.

As much as I like JK as a director, I don't want him to be used for everything. Great Directors must be "choosy" with their projects. So, I'm fine if he turns down movies and then is able to focus on one massive project at a time. Like Denis V. has for his Dune franchise. If Top Gun 3 is actually a go, I would love for JK to come back and Direct. He did a great job with 2 and would do another amazing job if a third one is to happen.

Kosinski made Legacy




I don't think Leto was part of the problem, at least not its biggest problem. The not so earth shattering story combined with low advertising doesn't help the fact that it has been 43 years since the original that this one ties back to.

I started watching the Ed Gein story on Netflix. Pretty interesting. He is so messed up, he is the source of MANY horror books and films. Notably: Psycho, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Silence of the Lambs.

I watched the Ed Gein thing. That guy was MENTUHL!!!!! I know they added some Hollywood to it but still. Nuts. Charlie Hunnamm was excess usual.
I agree with your point about the time span between tron films. To me, films in a franchise have to be somewhat close in release so they stay relevant. Some franchises have done ok with long spacing, but others…..

Finally watched Weapons last night. My 4k still has not shown up. Amazon say's it's coming in December!! So that's frustrating. Thankfully HBOMax just added it to their library. I really liked this movie. Had a good amount of creep factor to it. I liked how it jumped from character to character. I don't want to say much, but if you haven't seen it, I would highly recommend it. Solid 8/10 from me.

BOTH of my Tron 4ks are delayed. They both show Dec. now. I noticed on ebay there are people showing boxes of them and selling them for 2x the price. So like the PS5 when it came out, we have to deal with scalpers buying up media?

Preordered The Killer 4K and Hard Boiled 4K steelbooks. We'll see how that goes...

Yeah, I hate flippers. Even though I didn't purchase the Nightmare on Elm Street steelbook set, they were doing the same thing with that set on Ebay and other websites. Asking over $400-$500 for the set. Even though it sucks to wait, they will all be back in stock at normal retail costs.

It sucks you have to wait for your Tron 4k's. I swear they've been back in stock a couple times on Amazon. I suppose if you aren't checking all the time or have some kind of alerts setup, you'd never know. You could always check Zavvi, OrbitDVD or GRUV. They carry almost everything. Lots of imports as well.

I saw The Long Walk 4K Atmos streaming.

PQ. It looked excellent, shot with 4K Arri Alexa digital camera.

SQ. Good overall, but I didn’t notice anything to mention.

Story. Based on Stephen King’s work about a long 300+ mile walk where people had to walk at 3+ miles/hr nonstop or be shot dead. Screenplay by JT Mollner (Strange Darling, Outlaws & Angels). I thought the story was good, writing was good. Basically this dark depressing movie was about character development of these people on the walk.

Although I think it is a good movie, it’s another one of those good movies where I would never watch again.

Weapons is another movie that I think is good but would never watch again.

You recommend it?

You like the series?

TRON 1982 $33 million, $110 million inflation adjusted

TRON Legacy 2010 $400 million, $600 million adjusted

TRON Ares 2025 $154 million

Good writers and directors do good work. Why not use them whenever possible? Why let lesser people do movies?

Especially when Kosinski had already written the script following Legacy?
