'Tron: Legacy' Director Explains the Tron World

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the light-cycles-and-olivia-wilde dept.

An anonymous reader writes "We only had to wait 28 years for the second installment of 'Tron' — the sequel, 'Tron: Legacy,' comes out on Friday. It is expected to have less awesomely bad '80s graphics and more awesomely awesome millennial CGI. In advance of the opening, Discover has an interview with director Joe Kosinski in which he talks about reinventing the light cycle, and explains that the Tron world resembles the Galapagos Islands, where everything evolved in isolation."

    Perhaps the submitter does not understand that Tron's graphics were cutting edge at the time. If he doesn't get off my lawn, I'll have to run him over in my awesomely bad 80s monster truck.

    The DVD (my copy of which has been stolen, sadly)

    Wow, Disney is more serious about suppressing the old version than I had initially suspected.
