This movie's sequel comes with a $300 million price tag! - GoFuckYourself.com

Upcoming movie Tron has been called the most expensive in film history.

The sequel to the 1982 film about a hacker abducted and trapped in a virtual world has a $300 million price tag, according to The Vancouver Sun.

The original film featured state-of-the-art special effects for its time period and the follow-up is rumoured to be taking a similar route.

"Vancouver post-production units are salivating at the prospects presented by the Disney remake of Tron, which carries a whopping $300 million budget and opportunities aplenty for effects and digital polish," a source said.

Tron?s budget surpasses that of James Cameron?s upcoming Avatar, which is reportedly at $200 million, and would tie with Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World?s End.

Tron, due out in 2011, sees Jeff Bridges reprise his role from the first film.

Yey for capitalism

PornMD · 04-13-2009, 11:25 AM

Already doomed to fail with that news. "Biggest budget ever" has almost ensured flops most of the time.

Brandon99 · 04-13-2009, 11:31 AM

Here was the preview they showed at comicon, looks pretty awesome!

tical · 04-13-2009, 11:34 AM

i just cant see teens packing theatres for TRON 2

shit, i'm 27 and even i have no interest in this movie

SykkBoy · 04-13-2009, 11:36 AM

I'm looking forward to the flick, but outside of the rabid fanboy base, i don't see this movie setting box office records of any sort...that price tag will make it almost a sure money loser...

Wow, thanks Brandon!

Producer 2: "I got it! We were going to pay the fx crew about $80 mil right? How about we pay them $280 mil instead?!"
Producer 1: "GENIUS!"

Diezel Jim · 04-13-2009, 11:58 AM

If nothing else, at least Jeff Bridges is worth watching.

One of our most underrated actors -- should've won an Oscar as the "Dude" in The Big Lebowski.

casinojack · 04-13-2009, 11:58 AM

Sick, I must see it

pornguy · 04-13-2009, 12:00 PM

Dont know that its going to be worth that.

mvee · 04-13-2009, 12:00 PM

I predict Mega flop

They say differently actually, which I believe. How the hell COULD a movie cost $300 mil?

Zebra · 04-13-2009, 12:08 PM

James Cameron would beg to differ.

Nearly every one of his 'biggest budget ever' movies were box-office smashes.
