It has been stated in numerous interviews that Tron was a shortened from of ‘electronic.’ The writers did not even know of the existence of the trace on and trace off basic commands.

After the trailer, we were speculating about Flynn, having been a “stick it to the man” type of ‘dude’ in the first one, but also having become a corporate CEO by the end, if 20+ years of that changed him into the dark power hungry executive most CEO’s are believed to be. I love that idea… plus it was wonderful to see him as a bad guy of that type in Iron Man, and I can take another scoop of that.

TRZ sounds like it’d be a show on MTV… or something else I feel too old to watch.

Likely an acronym. Tee-Arr-Zed (or Zee for the US)

No worries Bill, I went back to read my post to see if I made that blunder, but I could see if you were reading too quickly the line “In the original Tron, the programmer Flynn (played by Jeff Bridges) ” might have translated mentally to say that the original Tron was a programmer Flynn…

Just sayin.

Darren, you’re right! I forgot about that. CLU didn’t cut it, which was why Flynn needed to get inside the building.

Rodney, that just goes to prove that I don’t know how to read. I could have sworn when I first read the post that it said Bridges played TRON.

Bill, Bridges *did* play a computer program called CLU briefly in the first film’s opening scenes.

The new title is lame. This is Tron. I was fine with Tr2n. But TRZ??
Is the Mouse House on crack? Who’s the exec who backed this choice?

Tr2n – I can see a nice title design for that (disc in the “2″ but the 2 is dropped down a little)

Also accepted:

Tron: KILLER APP
(a promotional title seen on the 20th ann. DVD)

Tron 2.0
(this was the name of the video game)

Son Of Tron
(also mentioned in the PC game; what a trip if the leader of the CPU revoultion is the ’son’ of Tron -and from the game)

Better yet…

Tron: Without A Clu.

TRON was never about the story (which is fun, but not genius stuff). It was about pushing the visual effects envelope of the early-80’s with killer vector graphics/animation and cutting edge set design/compositing. It was an awesome experiment, and I hope that TRZ adheres to pushing the envelope by blowing our minds. The Wendy Carlos score is essential to the success of this film, too.
