Oct 7 2008 'TR2N' Will Discriminate Against the Monocular
Sometimes, in between posts, I'll pause just to type the title of the upcoming TRON sequel, TR2N--admiring its simple, unpronounceable elegance--and I'll start to wonder a couple things. Is it "Tur-two-en," "Tron Two," or just "Tron" but you trace a two in the air as you're saying it? Also, could they not squeeze another number or two intermingled about the letters?
I still haven't heard a definitive pronunciation, but at least I not know the answer to the latter question: yes. Yes, they can fit more numbers among the letters. Try TR2N 3D!
From AICN:
The [TR2N] Comic Con teaser was shot in stereoscopic 3D, and the film will be, too. [Director] Kosinski is particularly excited about the look of the game grid in this format.
OK, so maybe no one actually said it would be called TR2N 3D, but it should be. The trailers could say, "This Christmas... get Tronned! Because the 2 is an O and the 3 is an E!"
The director also noted that Watchmen's Michael Wilkinson has joined the crew as costume designer, presumably because he already has some TRON costumes lying around.
Aug 22 2007 Logan's Run Director is Nobody
Commercial director Joseph Kosinksi will make his feature debut with Logan's Run, an adaptation of the 1967 sci-fi thriller. It is said the film will go more low-tech with the technology and stay closer to the book than the 1976 adaptation, which tells the story of a future society that demands voluntary death at a certain age, just as cancer does in our society.
SlashFilm was kind enough to put together a sample of his work for viewing, and it's pretty typical artsy commercial bullshit that probably wins ad awards. And what world does this guy live in that every commercial is over a minute long?
In the above clip, a woman living in an ice world impatiently waits for her sentient car husband to return home. Her robot dog recognizes the distinctive sound of approaching downtempo electronica that signals its car-master's approach. In the end, we discover that we can purchase this sentient car from Saab dealerships.
More clips with explanations below the cut.
