Oscars 2022: Best Costume Design Predictions 'Moon Knight' Director Begged Ethan Hawke to Not Read the Script Before Joining Marvel Series 'Moon Knight' Review: Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke Nearly Save Another Sleepy Marvel Series It was a big ask, but suited Disney’s agenda of exploring the potential for computer generated effects, so “Tron” found the deep-pocketed home it needed. It wasn’t exactly an appealing idea to the studio system, because Lisberger and Kushner weren’t just angling to create a new cinematic world from scratch they also wanted to develop new technology to make it so. However, they eventually decided to explore the story through a blend of live-action footage and computer animated sequences.

With producing partner Donald Kushner - with whom he’d made the 90-minute Olympics-themed animated feature “Animalympics” - Lisberger set up an animation shop to bring “Tron” to fruition. When Steven Lisberger first conceived of what would become his 1982 film “ Tron,” the fledgling filmmaker had a startling vision of the future: an animated feature that could explore the world of early video games like “Pong” in the kind of detail not yet available for live-action moviemaking. With readers turning to their home viewing options more than ever, this daily feature provides one new movie each day worth checking out on a major streaming platform.
