February 11, 2010

Studio Description: Sam Flynn (Hedlund), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of

himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games

confidante (Wilde), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across
a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and
exceedingly dangerous.

官方介紹：
傅山姆（海德藍），27歲的科技專家，也是傅凱文（布理吉）的兒子，
想要尋找失蹤父親的下落，結果自己卻掉入了一個格鬥遊戲的恐怖程式，
也是父親生活了25年的世界之中。在凱文忠誠女友的陪伴下，
這對父子即將經歷在視覺驚人且更進化也更危險的網路空間中，
一場非生即死的旅程

Analysis: Tron, a movie perceived to be ahead of its time with its
computer-based virtual reality, was considered a box office disappointment in
1982. In the shadow of E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, it made $33 million, or
the equivalent of over $85 million adjusted for ticket price inflation. A
decent amount of people saw it in theaters, but not enough to make it
profitable nor match the hype surrounding its release.

Tron was one of the first movies to use computer-generated imagery,
and it was released before computers had become the ubiquitous household
items we know today. Almost three decades later, its long-awaited sequel,
Tron: Legacy, is scheduled for release Dec. 17, fueled by fan nostalgia.

分析：
電子世界爭霸戰，是一部以電腦根據的虛擬實境作為主題的劃時代電影，
然而他在1982年上映時，卻被看作是一個票房市場上讓人失望的作品。
在當年史匹柏「外星人」的陰影籠照下，儘管他吸引了不少觀眾進入戲院，
也收進了3千3百萬美金（假如經過貨幣調算，他等於現在的8千5百萬），
但它既不能為片商賺錢，也無法搭配上映時的高度氣氛。

不過，電片畢竟還是影史少數率先使用電腦產生影像（簡稱CGI）
的電影之一，而那時電腦還不像成了家庭必備品呢！在經過將近30年之後，
被影迷以懷舊心情期待已久的續集「創：光速戰記」終於將在今年年底
進入戲院

Tron: Legacy follows the adventures of Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), the son
of Tron's main character Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges). Mr. Bridges, who is
winning nearly every acting award this winter for playing a former country
music star in Crazy Heart, reprises his role in Legacy, providing (along with
returning Bruce Boxleitner) some continuity for fans of the original, while
new stars Hedlund and Olivia Wilde look to draw the younger crowd unfamiliar
with Tron.

創：光速戰記將焦點放在葛瑞特海德藍飾演的山姆，他是「電子世界爭霸戰」
主角凱文的兒子。飾演凱文的傑夫布理吉，在冬天以「瘋狂的心」過氣鄉村歌手
的角色，幾乎包辦了各大演技獎的影帝獎項，這回他又在光速戰記重新飾演
當初的角色，並且與另一位回鍋的老牌演員Bruce Boxleitner產生與上集影迷的
關聯橋樑。

至於影壇新秀海德藍與奧莉薇亞韋爾德的功用，則是吸引那些對「電子世界
爭霸戰」感到陌生的年輕影迷

The Tron: Legacy marketing campaign was launched before the movie had been
green-lighted. A test reel was brought to the San Diego Comic-Con in 2008 and
was met with overwhelming approval from those in attendance. Walt Disney
Pictures then decided to make the movie, and the same clip, with overhauled
CGI, was shown at last year's Comic-Con.

Despite this strong early push, it's hard to tell if Tron is a property
a substantial number of moviegoers are still interested in. The other '80s
revivals being released this year (The A-Team, The Karate Kid, Red Dawn,
Clash of the Titans, A Nightmare on Elm Street) face a similar problem.
By the time Tron: Legacy gets its release, though, most of these movies
will have run their course, and it will be more apparent if '80s fever
is on at the box office.

創：光速戰記甚至在電影尚未通片商拍攝之前，就已經展開宣傳。
在前年的聖地牙哥的動漫展中，該片的片段試播曾經引起現場觀眾
壓倒性的掌聲，讓迪士尼正式決定拍攝這部電影，而這段畫面
在經過修飾之後，也曾經放到動漫展中去展示。

儘管"創"在前面有了很強力的推動，但現在要判斷該片能否對實際的觀眾群
產生同樣的效果，還是言之過早，這也是今年其他根據80年代經典改編電影，
如天龍特攻隊、功夫小子（功夫夢）、紅潮入侵、超世紀封神榜與半夜鬼上床，
同樣會面臨的問題。在創上映時，大部分的電影都已經完成在戲院的手續，
到時會能更明顯的判別80年代電影，到了現在是否依然有效

Another potential issue is whether the virtual reality aspect of
Tron: Legacy has been played out in the last few decades. Specifically,
The Matrix followed a similar structure, as people entered in to a
computer-based virtual reality in those movies as well. While the first
and second Matrix movies made $171.5 and $281.6 million, respectively,
audience interest had waned by the third movie, The Matrix Revolutions,
which only banked $139.3 million. However, this is more likely attributed
to the perceived decline in quality that took place from The Matrix to
Reloaded and then Revolutions.

創另一個值得影迷關心的話題，則是虛擬實境這個主題，是否已經
在這幾年被消耗殆盡。要講到這個主題，就不得不提到駭客任務，
雖然他是這種主題的後起之秀，但駭客卻讓影迷們真正的沈醉於
電影裡面以電腦作為根據的虛擬真實。

然而，儘管駭客1與駭客2：重裝上陣各自取得了1.71億與2.81億的好成績，
但到了該系列的最終回「最後戰役」，影迷們的興趣卻明顯地衰退，
最後票房連1.5億都無法達到。不過，會造成這種現象，主要也是因為
影片的品質的起落

Tron: Legacy is heavy on C.G.I., was made in 3-D and will be released in
mid-December . These three qualities are shared with Avatar, which recently
broke all-time box office gross records. It would be tough to imagine Tron:
Legacy reaching anywhere near those heights, though, especially with a
jam-packed 2010 3-D slate that will likely leave audiences a little jaded to
the technology. However, if Disney avoids marketing Tron: Legacy as just
another C.G.I.-heavy adventure and instead as a December event movie
featuring a classic story and impressive visuals, they could see solid
returns.

創：光速戰記充滿大量特效、以3D形式製作，以及在12月中旬發行，
都讓人想到今年年初打破影史賣座記錄的電影－阿凡達。
然而，要期望「創」能夠達到阿凡達那樣的顛峰，卻是極為困難的，
尤其是今年擁擠的3D電影市場，可能反而會讓觀眾對新科技感到有點反胃。

幸運的是，只要迪士尼的宣傳方式，是將創列為擁有經典故事
與讓人印象深刻特效的年度大片，而不是將他視為另一部充滿CGI的
冒險電影，公司仍然能收到穩定的成果

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

創是迪士尼公司的年底大片
這家公司今年的表現，就如大家所見的起伏不定
魔鏡夢遊與玩具總動員3固然是全球的大成功
波斯王子與魔法師的學徒在大卡司的加持之下，卻依然成為公司的赤字
加上從阿凡達暴紅之後就有濫用跡象的3D技術
相信大家都在問：
這回迪士尼年底的大賭注，能夠賭對嘛？
