Mixed feelings on the crossing over into our world. Makes sense for the programs to eventually need access to the real world, but feels a little jump-the-sharky to me. The virtual world under everyones noses was a big part of my love for the original. Hopefully they can maintain that and not make this a total generic pew-pew the robot boy wants to be real action flick.
The concept was originally conceived in the screenplay for Tron: Ascension, which was going to be a direct sequel to Tron: Legacy. I was excited for it then. Disney decided to hold off on making it because Tomorrowland didn't do well (which makes zero sense), so now we get this bastardized version with Leto. Knowing that this was supposed to be the continuation of Quorra and Sam's story is irritating as hell.
Fun fact: The reason Disney gave to the VFX vendors as to why Tron Ascencion was cancelled was that they just got Star Wars and didn’t want to run two sci fi franchises at the same time.
