Tron: Uprising

[FQRizzo]

chances at what? I don't think its intended to last beyond a season anyway.

What makes you say that?

What makes you say that?

That its got someone like Elijah Wood as the lead as well as its only planned for 10 episodes. I doubt he'd commit to something for multiple. If it was intended for multiple seasons I think they'd be aiming at more than 10 episodes for the first year. Also, its supposed to be a lead in to Legacy. Maybe they can pull off a Clone Wars and drag it, but I don't think so.

Premieres Friday, May 18 on Disney Channel;
Series Premieres Thursday, June 7 on Disney X D

Disney X D delves inside the computer world of The Grid and the people who live there with "TRON: Uprising," a visually striking new animated television series that follows the heroic journey of a new character, a young program named Beck, who becomes the unlikely leader of a revolution. The series, produced in CG animation with a 2D aesthetic, is set in the era of "TRON" between the stories in the 1982 feature film and Walt Disney Studios' "TRON: Legacy." Disney Channel will present "TRON: Uprising, Beck's Beginning," a 30-minute uninterrupted prelude to the series on FRIDAY, MAY 18 (9:30– 10:00 p.m., ET/PT). The special will encore uninterrupted on Disney X D on MONDAY, MAY 21(7:00 p.m. ET/PT), followed by the series launch on THURSDAY, JUNE 7 (9:00 p.m.) on Disney X D.

"TRON: Uprising" stars Elijah Wood as Beck, Bruce Boxleitner as Tron, Mandy Moore as Mara, Emmanuelle Chriqui as Paige, Nate Corddry as Zed, Lance Henriksen as General Tesler, Reginald VelJohnson as Able, Paul Reubens as Pavel and Tricia Helfer as The Grid.

Produced by Disney Television Animation, the series is executive-produced and directed by Charlie Bean ("Robotboy," "Samurai Jack" and "Powerpuff Girls") with Edward Kitsis, Adam Horowitz (both screenwriters of "TRON: Legacy" / executive producers of ABC's "Lost" and "Once Upon a Time") and Justin Springer (co-producer of "TRON: Legacy") as consulting producers. The music is composed by Joseph Trapanese ("TRON: Legacy").

"TRON: Uprising, Beck's Beginning" introduces Beck, a young mechanic living in Argon City, a growing metropolis in a far off corner of The Grid that has just been occupied by General Tesler, a henchman of the notorious Clu. After his best friend Bodhi is ruthlessly derezzed by Clu's army, Beck seeks justice for his lost friend and launches a crusade against the regime. His rebellion captures the attention of Tron, the greatest warrior The Grid has ever known, who sees the potential in Beck and trains him to be his successor. Labeled with the moniker of The Renegade, Beck sparks a revolution to fight for the freedom of The Grid.

The multiplatform premiere schedule is as follows:

Recharged by their shared passion for freedom, Beck and Cutler fight their way out of the deadly disc games. Meanwhile, Zed and Mara head out for night on the town, but run into trouble when an enchanted Zed is lured away by Perl (voiced by Kate Mara), a program from the wrong side of the tracks.

[crows]

Wow!!!!

https://youtu.be/hjbwVzJR8w4

funny, that was already better than the movie

 

[ProgMatinee]

sweet.

 

[FQRizzo]

This was really good. I'm setting the DVR when I get home.

 

[JD18_92]

I was quite surprised at how good this was. Loved legacy but just didnt think this would hold up as good. Glad I was wrong

 

[Oscar_the_Gungan]

One thing I kept thinking about while watching this is when watching Legacy I got the impression that while Kevin Flynn was stranded in the Grid for years, in Grid Time it was hundreds of years. So if this show begins when Clu takes over would that mean they'd have as much time as they want to tell as many stories as they want?
Like its been said though, I'm not sure if that's what been planned. However, if the series is as good as what we have seen so far and people take to it I can't imagine Tron won't continue in some shape or form.

 

[JD18_92]

Yea really liked the episode, only thing that really bothered me was how alot of the characters had more then one neon color to them. Like clu's general had orange then green in the center of his chest. Just didnt look right and really bothered me

 

[JonWes]

Wow, wow, wow, wow! I finally completed the first episode (in HD, thanks to the free iTunes download) and I'm really impressed. The series looks beautiful in HD. They really captured the feel of the movie. I like the stylized look of the programs in it. It seems to just work really well with the whole look of the Grid. The rail train was awesome-looking too along with the sort light-quad-bike. I loved that the music was either lifted from the score or used it as heavy inspiration. I'm intrigued to see where the series takes us.

Spoiler

I'm most intrigued about the status of Tron. We find out he's severely scarred... but he's clearly Rinzler in some fashion too... so how is he somehow trapped within Rinzler? Is what Beck sees real? Where is that little hideout? And how does Tron get wiped away?

I really liked Paige and Tessler. Two great villains. I loved Tesslers crazy hand weapons. It was a novel use of the tech. I have to give major credit to the sound design too. It really helped sell the action.

 

[crows]

I also loved how the grid looked, it looked more like a city than in the movie, like, I felt it bigger, I don't know how to explain it, is like they showed more? it just felt bigger, not only the grid but the story, I really loved this, I can't wait to see what else happens,

 

[saintsyn]

Watched it last night and instantly loved it... the aesthetic is so freekin cool... Now if we could just get some decent toys....

 

[crows]

it just has that classic epic story feeling, that the movie did not have, epic story, I have a lot of hope for this to do really good

 

[Kuzeh]
