Anybody know what [http://www.tron20.net](http://www.tron20.net) is leading up to? (Flash stuff that takes a while to load) The latest mentions a new transmission on 6.18.02. New video game? New movie being announced? Inquiring programs want to know. ---

i remeber Tron 2.0 rumors on [aintitcoolnews.com](http://aintitcoolnews.com) back when the DVD for Tron was announced. Maybe that’s it? ---

[Game.](http://pc.ign.com/articles/360/360776p1.html) [Movie.](http://www.corona.bc.ca/films/details/realtron2.html) Possible spoilers, I didn’t read too far down. Looking at the site you mentioned, either a) I couldn’t access it because I have a firewall, in which case it was programmed by intrusive idiots, or b) they have nothing to say but want to “techno-fy” it into making it seem that I just can’t access the site, in which case it was designed by uninformative idiots. ---

Game. There is currently no movie sequel in production, but it is sort of semi-planned to be, and the game therefore has to follow certain canonical limits. ---

If there’s no movie sequel in production, what’s with those initial costume designs and storyboards on my Special Edition _Tron_ DVD? ---

Conceptual ideas don’t always mean it’s in production. And they may also have been for the game. ---

Funny…Looks like it’s in production to me… [http://us.imdb.com/Title?0208650](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0208650) [http://www.corona.bc.ca/films/details/realtron2.html](http://www.corona.bc.ca/films/details/realtron2.html) ---

IMDB is contributed by anybody off the street, and Corona Coming Attractions is strictly a rumour site. From [Dark Horizons](http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/020611.htm), though: > [@](#): > > Tron 2.0: ‘Jason’ clears up what’s going on with the rumoured sequel: “At E3 last month I spoke with a bunch of people from Disney Interactive, Monolith productions and LithTech Inc. These are the various companies making the upcoming Tron 2.0 game. I was told flat out that as of right now, there is no Tron 2.0 movie in production. That site you mentioned yesterday is strictly for the game, not the movie. I was surprised, because I had assumed the game was a tie-in for a simultaneous movie…apparently not. Disney is carefully watching the game’s development though, and people who will (hopefully) work on the movie have been involved with the game’s development, making sure that if and when a movie _does_ happen, it’s not going to step on the continuity established in the game. Oh, and uberdesigner Syd Mead is consulting on the game’s development…hopefully this means he’ll be directly involved with the movie when it happens”. ---

The website’s changed. Now it’s acting as a front page for something - I’m guessing the company featured in the game’s plot. It’ll also try to get you to download something every few seconds; a screensaver, perhaps?
