Today I Learned they're making a new Tron movie
- I was excited. Then I saw who they cast...
  It's morbin time
  
  I thought you were joking. It's a pass for me, then.
  Seriously, Leto, choose a different career. You're shittin' on our lives.
  
  He's the worst.
  On a related note, he tried to seduce my ex many years ago when she was 15 years old. He was 31. She was very pretty, but when she was 15 she definitely looked her age. She was just an innocent fan of his at the time, but the creep factor immediately ruined it for her and she got away from him as quickly as possible.
  
  Oh no.
- Holding out hope that we’ll get another Daft Punk Tron OST
  
  after the way Di$ney screwed Daft Punk for that soundtrack? Nope. If we're fortunate, Wendy Carlos will do it. But then again, jared Leto is behind this project, so we are not fortunate.
  
  When the sound track sells more than the movie... Wait am I talking about legacy or the new one?
- My first thought as well lol.
- This

  We are not on Reddit.

"We close deals for breakfast
Until a worker wants to 'pay his rent' like some whiny bitch"

Smaller studios signed the contract, it’s the big ones that haven’t. Fuck the big studios and corporate greed! Stand with the writers and actors! ✊

How could you both sides workers wanting to be paid for their work and a livable wage and producers making millions of dollars a year? This guy sounds like he sucks.

Fuck you and your movie, asshole.

Sounds like we're all skipping this movie if it comes out then, yeah? Solidarity.

I hope this repeats and big franchises have movies/shows delayed or cancelled, as it seems to be the only way to get these pigs' attention
- Will cancelled movies matter if people keep their streaming subscriptions?
  
  Strikers have called for people to keep their subscriptions. Studios still classify streaming as unproven so they can charge less for them, and people cancelling en masse will likely cause them to double down on that. One of the big arguments is residuals and how streaming basically does not have them when cable did.

If they didn't have Jared Leto then I'd be somewhat upset about this. But this is just a win for every tron fan at the moment.

Only one side of the contract dispute needs to bend. And it ain't the writers.

Regarding Tron: Legacy, I suggest you watch the fanedit Tron: Perfection.
It trims some of the terrible dialogue and most of what happens outside the grid (including the sequel bait). Also has the good idea to use the young Kevin, which some find uncanny, only for Clu.
It has become my favourite way to watch the movie.
- How do you find and watch that edit?
  
  I contacted the editor via reddit, they made a post here: https://old.reddit.com/r/fanedits/comments/lxp4uq/bad_movies_made_less_bad_presents_tron_perfection/

There was a Tron 2? Is Tron: Legacy considered a sequel or a reboot of the original?
Edit: A sequel, interesting...
- It's a continuation of the original story so I'd say it's a sequel.
  
  Guess that's on me for not watching the original first then haha
