INTERVIEW WITH TRON CREATOR, STEVEN LISBERGER
Today we have the transcript from our roundtable set interview with Steven Lisberger, the writer/director/creator of the original Tron, who is on board for Tron Legacy as a producer, writer, and actor (he has a small cameo in the film, in the scene seen above).
The number one question is why not create this yourself?
Lisberger: That’s your number one question? I just want to clarify that’s the number one question for you, but that’s not the number one question. So there’s multiple reasons. Not sure these are in the right priority but after thirty years I don’t want to compete with myself. And other issues are technically I am not on the level of Joe Kosinski.

Although the vampire genre is getting quite saturated at this point, one of the few vampire projects that I am looking forward to is Amy Heckerling’s Vamps, and that’s only because Heckerling directed Clueless and is reteaming with Alicia Silverstone on this. Heat Vision reports thatSigourney Weaver has also been cast in the project as Ciccerus, a vampire queen who turns the two women (that this is about) into vamps as well. Weaver will join Silverstone and Krysten Ritter, who play two beautiful young vampires that are living the good nightlife in New York until love enters the picture and each one has to make a life-changing choice.

FOREST WHITAKER AND JUDE LAW SAY REO MAN IS ABOUT AMERICA TODAY
In Repo Men‘s dystopian future, health care has been so privatized, you can buy robotic organs on credit. But if you miss a payment, you’re dead. So how much of this gory film is precautionary? Plenty, according to the cast.
The world of Repo Men, twenty years from now, is a fast-moving and epically violent place. The public has been thoroughly desensitized to violence. Which explains why the idea of a group of retired military types running around, legally ripping life-saving “artiforgs” out of defaulting clients isn’t too much of a traffic-stopper for the masses.

Are you a fan of Tron?
I think Sigourney Weaver would made a great vampire, what do you think?
Repo Man is a metaphor for today’s health-care system. You can’t pay for insurance, sorry. Will you be seeing Repo Man?
