Here is an except:
Is that why you signed up for the new Tron movie?
Yeah, that's another unique, wild experience that was too good to turn down. Engaging in that world again feels just like it did all that time ago. Basically, I'm still a child, I love being childlike, and here was another chance to play with these crazy toys. And the cutting-edge technology makes it exciting. Doing the teaser trailer for Comic-Con, I had my first experience of motion capture. And that's turning the industry on its head. It's amazing being part of that.
There's such a retro love for Tron. How do you bring it up to date?
Well, when we made Tron there was no internet, no cellphones. But now we have motion capture, so I think we'll get a far more successful version of the story, which is someone literally getting sucked into a video game. When we did King Kong in the 70s, one minute you'd have a shot of Rick Baker in this big suit and then you'd cut to this 80ft stiff model, and they looked nothing alike. Compare to that Peter Jackson's King Kong the technology is there and they did a wonderful job. I thought they created a beautiful Kong. So I hope that'll be the same for Tron.

I saw the trailer on you tube, it was a handycam in the comic con, besides the odd place angle from the person holding the cam, it looked pretty good

My boys and I watched the first one last month. They were mad at me for making them watch it. What did they expect? Movies like that were the sh*t to us who were kids back then. LOL I'm sure it will look way better now.

The "Dude," the Big Lebowski on a Light Cycle.
The new tagline could be: "They pissed on his Atari. The Dude does not abide."
A modern Tron will rock!
