I'm fairly sure that they said this was the HD Premiere of Tron, but if it isn't I haven't seen it, so I'm psyched. The footage in the promo looked great, so I cant wait.

First showing is actually 3/3, at 9 PM EST

 

[Droford]

Fixed title! I was looking at the date on my DVR since Im recording the second showing as to not conflict with my regular recordings.

 

[Matt_Stevens]

So how about THE BLACK HOLE?!

TRON was boring as all heck when I saw it as a child, but I'll check it out anyway to see it in HD on a large screen and see if I change my mind.

 

[DaveFi]

Is it going to be on HDNet Movies? I'd like to record it and I don't want to have to deal with commercial breaks.


FYI: For those of you who like animated movies from the same era, Starchaser: The Legend of Orin (1978) is on HDNet Movies 3/4 10:30am. It was notable for two things- it was the first all animated movie in 3D (this is the 2D version) and it was the first animated movie to include some CGI footage (albeit very early).

I recorded it, but haven't watched it yet.

It is on HDNet not HDNet movies. I have my DVR scheduled to record it.

Felt the same way about TRON, but will give it another shot. But I MUCH prefer BLACK HOLE (heard rumors of a remake as well). Would love HDNet to get their hands on THE TIME MACHINE as well.

I gathered that much, I'm asking if anyone knows if it's going to be on HDNet Movies in the near future (I don't see it on March's schedule). I find it odd that a "catalog" title would only be on 1 time (or 2x in this case- because it's repeated right after).

 

[dcowboy7]

Ill bet any $$ that Chief Wiggum will watch it again.

Some are reporting - or SPECULATING at least:

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/44138


..that tomorrow night's HD NET broadcast of TRON will be the 1st time the newly remastered for BD version is being shown. Apparently director Steven Lisberger (also a writer/exec producer for the upcoming TRON: LEGACY sequel) was overheard at a premiere last week saying that he had finished tweaking the original for a BD release this year as a ramp up for the new movie.


While no George Lucas-level CG add-ons were done, a ton of color correction has apparently been applied. Sounds as if the "computer" world finally looks the way Lisberger had invisioned, but 80's-era FX could not completely nail down.

TRON will be on HDNet Movies in July 2010.

Thanks.


Wow. That's a big wait, but I suppose I can I'll watch it tomorrow and record it when it's on in July (or wait for the eventual Blu-Ray).

 

[chitchatjf]

I HAVE the DVD and it looks darn good up converted in my Blu Ray player.

Still intend on recording tomorrow night ,

will get the Blu Ray when it comes out

and see Tron Legacy in 3D (probably Imax as well)

 

[Lumpy]

Seems like I saw it in HD on max or showtime a couple years ago.

 

[PiratesCove]

The preview was impressive, I'll watch just to be ready for TRON 2.0.

 

[wyattg]

I say "Boooooo" on the commercial in the middle!!

 

[DaveFi]

Quite a bad transfer as well.

 

[Fang Zei]

I think it was the old transfer.


I have the tv set to "full pixel" and there was that "edge of the frame" on the right side. Still, didn't look bad for an hd broadcast of a movie from 1982 (the fact they shot it in 70mm helps a lot though).

It actually looks pretty bad for a HDNet movie- this is one of the worst transfers I've ever seen them show. I'd pretty much go as far as saying this one was unfit for broadcast.
