Yey for capitalism

**PornMD** · 04-13-2009, 10:25 AM

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

**Brandon99** · 04-13-2009, 10:31 AM

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

**tical** · 04-13-2009, 10:34 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, 10:36 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...

**AssPirate** · 04-13-2009, 10:38 AM

Wow, thanks Brandon!

Producer 1: "Hmmm...how can we get added press for this?"
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, 10:58 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, 10:58 AM

Sick, I must see it

**pornguy** · 04-13-2009, 11:00 AM

Dont know that its going to be worth that.

**mvee** · 04-13-2009, 11:00 AM

I predict Mega flop

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

**Zebra** · 04-13-2009, 11:08 AM

Already been an article out saying the Vancouver Sun is full of shit. Nowhere near $300 million pricetag. They are just trying to get views.

**qxm** · 04-13-2009, 11:27 AM

mmm doesn't look interesting ........ I *might* rent the dvd .... it certainly doesn't scream "I can beat Pirate of the Caribbeans to justify my price tag"

**FilthyRob** · 04-13-2009, 11:45 AM

I loved the video game as a kid

James Cameron would beg to differ.

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

I wonder if the finished product will look like a piece of shit just like Speed Racer.

Good point...actually it seems like if it's highly acclaimed director + big budget, no problem...Waterworld on the other hand...
