The
cover of the new "TRON" book, by Bill Kally, contributor to in70mm.com for
many years
In 1982, Walt Disney Productions was in serious trouble. Its films were no
longer drawing audiences into theaters. In the era of
“Star Wars” and
“Raiders of the Lost Ark”,
Disney desperately needed to reinvent itself. Disney found its salvation in
a radical new film called "Tron". Led by a fearless first-time
feature film director, the cast and crew of "Tron" turned the Disney
studio upside down and forced it into the modern film age. "The Making of
Tron: How Tron Changed Visual Effects and Disney Forever" traces the
making of this groundbreaking computer driven film from its inception,
through its setbacks and in-fighting, to its enormous influence on modern
culture. "Tron" was so innovative, it would change how audiences saw
movies and it would forever transform the film industry. Featuring exclusive
interviews with Jeff Bridges, Cindy Morgan, Steven Lisberger, Donald
Kushner, Harrison Ellenshaw, Richard Taylor, and "Tron" alumni, "The
Making of Tron: How Tron Changed Visual Effects and Disney Forever" will
blow away your perception of one of the most innovative films of all time.
