coupleofdays:

Along with the first picture from Tron: Ares, there was a short description of the plot, saying that it’s about a Program “who is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission”. This description makes is sound to me that the film will be set less in the digital world and more in the “real world”. It also makes me wonder if it might be a cynical way to save cash on film production, if they can film a lot of it in current-day city environments, and don’t have to create as many special effects. I’m kind of reminded of the old Masters of the Universe live action film, where He-Man and gang was sent to Earth, presumably to save money on sets. It also makes me think of…

Wait…

No. Oh god, no no no…

A story about a computer program materializing in the real world, so that it can be produced on a smaller budget?

Users help us, it… it’s even worse than we thought.

Keep reading

oh noooooo

you just made me look up “Automan” and… i am dying

“Cursor”… if Bit was slightly more helpful and… more sexually perverted?

…source on that image, and the pervert thing, is from this site, which is in French, so I might be reading something wrong, but…

…actually, come to think of it, this Bit might be less perverted (remembering the early script of Tron that mentioned Bit being “excited and turned on” about Flynn derezzing the red guard to absorb his circuit color)

correction: this version of the scene doesn’t actually say that the guard was derezzed…

ALT

…only that he was choked into unconsciousness and then had his color stolen through disc-manipulation….

(interestingly, Flynn seems a lot more aware of what he’s doing in this version, lol. I doubt the Bit would’ve been nearly as impressed to see his lucky ass bumble obliviously through the scene as it was ultimately filmed.)
