The TRON first script draft

Last year, the wonderful @greetingsprogram1982 managed to acquire a copy of the first script draft for the film TRON, scanned it, an uploaded the pages as jpgs here on Tumblr. I have now taken the liberty to convert these scanned pages into a pdf file and upload it to The Internet Archive, in order to hopefully preserve this important historical artifact a little better (many of you are probably aware that Tumblr isn't exactly the ideal place to archive things long-term for various reasons):

I can highly recommend that any fan of the original TRON movie check out this script draft, if you haven't already done so. It's a fascinating read, containing scenes and concepts that didn't make it into the final film (and missing some parts that would be added later), and versions of the movie characters who are very different from what they eventually ended up being.

Again, huge thanks to @greetingsprogram1982 for scanning the script in the first place!

While it's probably unlikely, I hold a faint hope that maybe someday we could get at least a comic adaptation of the first Tron script draft. After all, it's happened before with stuff like the early versions of Star Wars scripts, the Star Trek episode "City on the Edge of Forever", and Alien 3. Though I guess Tron might not be quite as high profile as those particular franchises.

Maybe the Tron fandom artists could gather together and do a zine comic of it, each artist adapting a particular scene of the script draft?

Would you ever be ok with Yori being recast with a different actor?

Hm! Good question.

Well... as I've said many times before... my feelings about what Official Canon will ever do with this franchise are neutral at best. My focus is on fanworks, right now and for the foreseeable future, because fanworks are the only ones ever exploring the storylines I want to see more of.

And fanworks aren't usually equipped to cast anybody as anything. Because making a movie or a show takes amounts of... money, and resources, and power over other human beings, that are usually outside the reach of anyone who has any sort of ethics, let alone a fan who isn't even expecting payment.

But.

That said.

Having read the early draft script, where we got to see much more of Bonnie MacBird's vision for what the movie could be...

(I think of Bonnie MacBird as the author more than Steven Lisberger, because Wikipedia says she "wrote it with significant input from Lisberger," or something to that effect... and this draft was before Disney or Lisberger or anyone got involved in all the logistics of turning it into an actual movie)...

...I actually feel that the only new Tron movie I personally could ever get really excited about, would be a remake that was more true to that early script.

I will always adore the 1982 movie for what it was. And that movie, unchanged in any way, should live forever in its own right, in our hearts and our archives of film history. But as I've said before, I do still have a longing to see other versions of what could have been.

See, it feels to me like this --the early draft-- was the story it meant to tell. It feels like the complete version of the movie-- with scenes that make it all make more sense, that had to be cut just to reduce it to Disney movie length and comply with Disney censors.

This is the movie it could be, if we could actually get Disney's hands off of it someday.

It is very much not perfect, and there are plenty of things I would change. But it feels like a storyline I'd rather see-- and a better starting-place for any sequels that would actually interest me.

And, as for casting, it would pretty much have to be recast entirely, with younger actors. And probably actors with a bit of a different feel overall. (MacBird's original pick for Flynn was Robin Williams, and it is oh-so-sad that we'll never see what THAT would be like.)

And I am actually pretty interested in what this would mean for recasting of the Lora/Yori role!

You'll note that in that script, Lora and Yori were to be played by an Asian actress-- making the Japanese names actually make sense! That could be a really fresh take on the character.

As much as I loved Cindy Morgan, I do not love how Disney's influence ended up making everyone white in the final version. And I do think it'd be more likely, in the present day, to recast it with more actors of color and avoid the stereotypical sorts of portrayals that often went along with such attempts at diversity in the 1980's.

(For instance, I do think the scenes in that early script that portrayed Lora and Yori attempting martial arts ...might need some changing. MacBird was a visionary, but still a product of her time.)

Anyway. This is all a pipe dream... once Disney gets its hooks into a franchise it's never going to see real diversity or even real creativity, compared to what fans can imagine.

And yes, I know my take isn't everybody's. But you did ask me.

live action star wars is never going to give us the heartfelt emotional scene of ezra seeing lothal again for the first time, at least not in the way that we deserve. seeing him land on the planet and walking wistfully through the tall grasses, loth cats trailing in his wake; walking through the city with a bit of a heavy heart because these streets and buildings are so familiar, and yet so different at the same time, because the city has grown and thrived in the empire's absence. we're never going to see him crying quiet, joyful tears because he's finally home.

A GUIDE TO BREAKING “LIMITS” !

shifting is a journey, not just a destination or a process. it’s something you do every time you focus on your desires, visualize your dr, or even just remind yourself it’s possible. honestly? shifting can feel overwhelming, especially when life (or your own brain) gets in the way. noisy environments, restless minds, overthinking—it can all feel like too much. but the truth is, nothing is too big to keep you from your dr.

UP NEXT . . . ┃the art of understanding frustrations

first things first—let’s address the elephant in the room. you might feel like you’ve been trying forever, like you’re doing everything right but still waking up in your cr. that frustration is real, and it’s valid. but attempting to shift doesn’t exist. every time you “try,” you’re already shifting.

think of it like planting a garden. every visualization, every affirmation, every moment you spend thinking about your dr is like watering the soil. even if you don’t see the flowers yet, the seeds are growing. energy doesn’t disappear—it builds.

so, you are never starting from zero. every single attempt matters, and every single attempt works. the fact that you’re here, reading this, thinking about shifting means you’re already shifting !! the journey itself is proof that you’re moving closer to your dr, even if it feels slow.

UP NEXT . . . ┃ science, baby!

shifting isn’t about the perfect setup or the perfect state of mind. it’s about belief and intention. science actually backs this up. your brain is ridiculously adaptable thanks to neuroplasticity (aka its ability to rewire itself based on what you focus on). when you visualize your dr or affirm that you’re already there, you’re literally teaching your brain to accept it as real.

your brain doesn’t know the difference between imagination and reality. if you’re imagining yourself walking through your dr, your brain builds neural pathways as if it’s already happening. the more you do this, the stronger those pathways get. (think of it like carving a trail in a forest—the more you walk it, the clearer it becomes.)

and guess what ?? your external circumstances (like a noisy house or a wandering mind) don’t matter. the universe doesn’t measure sound levels or distractions; it measures intention. it’s about what you want, not what’s happening around you.

UP NEXT . . . ┃ shift anywhere, anytime!

shifting doesn’t have to be complicated. you don’t need silence, a perfect mindset, or even a full night’s sleep. you can shift anytime, anywhere, by focusing on your intention. here’s a simple method you can try:

breathe: take a few deep breaths to ground yourself.

imagine: picture a moment in your dr. it can be anything—a conversation, a location, a feeling. don’t overthink it.

feel: let the emotions of being in your dr fill you. excitement, peace, joy—whatever feels natural.

trust: remind yourself it’s already yours. you don’t need to force it or make it happen; it’s happening naturally.

this can take 10 seconds or 10 minutes—whatever feels right for you. the key is to let go of pressure. shifting isn’t about trying harder; it’s about letting it flow.

UP NEXT . . . ┃ for the restless minds

if you’re someone whose brain feels like it’s constantly working overtime, shifting can feel especially tricky. you can’t focus, or your thoughts feel chaotic, or you’re too anxious to fully relax. the good news is you can absolutely still shift.

if you have…

adhd

method: make it fast and engaging. instead of lying still, try a moving visualization. pace around your room and talk out loud about your dr, or use a fidget toy while you visualize. the movement can help you stay focused.

if this doesn’t work: don’t stress about “staying still” or “doing it right.” try a lucid dreaming approach instead—set an intention to shift while you sleep. your body doesn’t have to be still for your mind to shift.

if you have…

anxiety

method: focus on grounding first. anxiety can make it hard to relax, so start by calming your body. try the 5-4-3-2-1 method (name 5 things you see, 4 things you feel, 3 things you hear, 2 things you smell, and 1 thing you taste). once you feel more grounded, begin visualizing.

if this doesn’t work: remind yourself that shifting doesn’t require perfection. even if you’re anxious, your intention still counts. try scripting or affirming during the day instead of at night.

if you have…

autism

method: use sensory tools. if you’re sensitive to certain sensations, create an environment that feels safe and comforting (soft blankets, dim lighting, calming music). focus on what makes you feel secure before starting your shifting practice.

if this doesn’t work: try embracing your unique way of processing the world. you don’t have to follow traditional methods. write a story about your dr, daydream, or even use a video game or music playlist to immerse yourself in your dr’s “vibes.”

or, if you’re an…

over-thinker

method: keep it simple. if your mind keeps racing, stop trying to “do it right.” instead of full-on scripting or visualizing, just focus on one detail of your dr (like your name or a single scene). repetition can help quiet the noise.

if this doesn’t work: remind yourself that overthinking doesn’t cancel out your intentions. even if your mind feels chaotic, your energy is still shifting. trust that it’s happening, even if it doesn’t feel perfect.

if none of these methods work, or if you feel stuck, remember this: shifting is not a test. it’s not about doing it “right” or meeting some invisible standard. it’s about your intention. as long as you want it, you’re already shifting.

the universe doesn’t care if you’re calm, distracted, or somewhere in between. it only cares about your energy. so give yourself grace. you’re not “bad” at shifting. you’re human, and every step you take is enough.

at the end of the day, shifting is simple: decide what you want and trust that it’s yours. everything else—your circumstances, your thoughts, your frustrations—is just noise. shifting is your natural state. you’ve been doing it your whole life, even if you didn’t realize it.

My Percy Jackson DR Intro ★*•.

About me

ᯓ꩜ Alvaro Willow, Child of Auroea.

ᯓ꩜ In this dr I’m 12 years old, going along with the ages of the main characters. Whats the fun of shifting to a dr if not to experience it at the same age it’s depicted in?

ᯓ꩜ I have brown curly hair with faded teal streaks, mostly just leaving green and yellow left, I love my hair being dyed but I love swimming in the lake and warm showers more than maintaining the color. Blue eyes with brown central heterochromia and tanned skin.

Godly Parent

ᯓ꩜ I’m a Child of Auroea, a goddess I made up, in this reality at least. Auroea, pronounced (Oar-re-uh), is the goddess of mystic powers. The powers that come from the planet itself, rain, earth, wind, and magic. She was one of the first Titan-Goddesses, born of a piece of Gaea that Helios found and crafted into a god. She’s the goddess who first created the mist that separates the magical world from the mortal one. She has powers in most the domains of the olympians, though less of a connection to them as they do. Her magics are what caused many animals and people to have access to magic, despite not being of godly descent or creation.

ᯓ꩜ Auroea’s sacred animals consist of Humming Birds and Manta rays. She’s the mother of the first fae and nymphs. Auroea is also known to be a protector of heroes, specifically but not limited to child heroes, so despite not being an olympian and not having demigod children anymore, she has a cabin at camp half-blood to honor her.

ᯓ꩜ Auroea doesn’t have many children anymore due to so many greek demigods dying by monsters hands, or claws, at young ages. She makes few exceptions over the millennia, one of which being me. The last child she had before myself was in the 1400’s and lived as a reclusive warlock in the woods.

Past

ᯓ꩜ I grew up in southern california with my older brother and dad, running around in the sun and going to my elementary school that was at the beginning of the street I grew up on. My life was fairly normal till I was 6, when I started getting visions. After having them a while, my dad concluded that it had to do with my mom and decided to take me to camp.

ᯓ꩜ Once at camp, I met Grover who ended up taking us to the big house where we were introduced to Chiron and Mr. D, They tried to figure out what was happening, because then we didn’t know they were visions, but since I hadn’t had a vision since coming to camp, they weren’t sure. But, despite that, barely a couple days after arriving at camp, I had a dream. Apollo showed up and told me what was happening. I was a prophet. My powers were supposed to show up earlier, but he held them off as long as possible so I could have a semblance of a childhood without constantly seeing the future. He told me about how he blessed me to hold off my powers, and now the blessing would work to help me have more control of my powers.

ᯓ꩜ Days later, a week into my first year at camp, I was the turning point in a game of capture the flag and once I was given a golden laurel for winning, My mother claimed me.

Apollo’s blessing

ᯓ꩜ Apollo first noticed my presence after I was given to my dad, sensing that I was going to be one of his prophets. I had a natural knack for my powers when I was barely a year old, which was when he first decided to bless me. He made his blessing so I wouldn’t come into my powers too early into my childhood and when I did eventually come into them, they wouldn’t be too powerful to where I had no control of them.

ᯓ꩜ My prophetic powers don’t have much of a physical impact on me, but they do tend to cause me to glow somewhat when in use. My visions tend to make my eyes emanate what looks like sunlight, while when I tell a prophecy my whole body emanates or rather, glows, the same light.

Powers

ᯓ꩜ My powers from my mother consist of weaker versions of her own godly ability over her domains, I can control rain and move storm clouds at will, manipulate winds to move certain directions or speeds, I can manipulate plants to grow at different paces and what directions they grow in, along with most forms of earth (dirt, rocks, etc).

ᯓ꩜ I can do advanced magics such as telekinesis, casting spells and curses, enchantments and mist manipulation. Although, I’m better at light and sun magic than others because of Apollo’s blessing.

Prophet related powers

ᯓ꩜ My visions are the more typical occurrence, my visions essentially take up what I’m visibly seeing and they show me images of something thats going to happen in clips that can feel minutes long but really my visions dont last more than 8 seconds.

ᯓ꩜ My premonitions happen constantly, they work like basic gut feelings, but much more intense. I’ll usually get goosebumps and then a STRONG urge to do something that I usually can’t ignore.

ᯓ꩜ I get prophetic dreams that are rare, but when I do get them they essentially show me extremely important details on whats going to happen soon, though they usually don’t show the right order in which things go down.

ᯓ꩜ I get trances make me act like an oracle when I tell a prophecy. I go into a vague trance where I’m still in control of my body, but my voice changes to a deeper tone and I get the obligation to go tell whoever the prophecy is for, their prophecy. I can usually go a couple minutes ignoring it if I’m in a fight but the second I’m not in mortal danger, I have to go to the person the prophecy is for and tell it to them.

Family

ᯓ꩜ My dad’s name was Gene Willow, he was 41 and died when I was 11. He was a doctor.

ᯓ꩜ My older brother’s name is Tenko Willow, and he’s currently 19. He has custody of me, even though I live at camp most of the year. He still lives in California, in an apartment that he keeps a room for me in, despite me only living with him one month a year, and he goes to university to get his degree in coding.

Items

ᯓ꩜ My main weapons that I use are my rings. I have two rings that I keep on both my middle fingers, black and white with small gold details, my rings, much like percy’s sword, can transform. If I make specific hand motions, snapping my wrists in certain directions, my rings will transform. If I snap my wrists outwards, my rings will transform into dual blades. My swords are thin and gold, with one having a black and one having a white hilt. If I snap my wrists inwards, my rings will transform into twin daggers. They look the same as the swords, but have more detailing on the hilts.

ᯓ꩜ My other weapon that I primarily use is my bow, because of Apollo’s blessing I’m almost as good as his children at archery. My bow is golden with detailing all along the base.

ᯓ꩜ My satchel is the main bag I take with me when I go anywhere, it has an extending charm I put on it so I can fit 3 times the amount of stuff that I should be able to in it.

ᯓ꩜ I constantly wear two necklaces, my camp necklace and my pendant necklace. Both have a black leather string, my pendant one just has my birthstone on it, while my camp necklace has 6 beads on it for every year I’ve been at camp.

Extra

ᯓ꩜ I have my cat, Luna, who stays with me in my cabin. She’s a tortoiseshell cat and 2 years old. I got her as a kitten for my 11th birthday.

ᯓ꩜ Hobbies include cassette making, journaling, reading, and jewelry making.

ᯓ꩜ Drself drawing!!
