Ain't It Cool: Interview mit Steve Lisberger

Steve Lisberger (Tron) erzählt irgendwie etwas und irgendwie nichts über Tron 2.0.

(...)What do you have to say to your new generation of fans?
 You know, there is actually nostalgia attached to Tron. It was the seminal film for Generation X at the time. What it represented has just become a major part of their lives The interesting thing about the computer world and technology is that it?s gone through all those phases in record time.
In 20 years!
 Yeah, in 20 years. Now it?s sort of firing on all cylinders at the same time and we?re waiting to see a new generation embrace it and figure out a way to take it to the next step. I think that?s one of things to talk about in the period we?re in right now. It just seems like we?re just piling manure on, hoping that something is going to sprout through this and we?re going to see new directions coming. So, that?s why a lot of this stuff is crashing. That?s why AOL has peaked and that?s why the Telecom industry is crashing. It?s just time for the whole thing to come back down and be re-born through the next generation.
Will Tron 2, at least story-wise, reflect on all of the things you?re talking about now, as far as corporate corruption concerned? Are you going to take it to the next level?
 I can?t keep talking about Tron 2. They?re going to bust my chops. I mean, they?ll come down on me. They?ve come down on me twice on that already.
Just a little more?
 No.
