"Tron" and "Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan" 25th Anniversary Screening



Went to a special 25th Anniversary screening of "Tron" and "Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan" a little over a week ago. Among the guests doing a Q&A in between features (as well as after) were "Tron" Director Steve Lisberger, visual effects supervisors Richard Taylor and Harrison Ellenshaw, designer and futurist Sid Mead, and as a special surprise, actors Bruce Boxleitner ("Tron") and Dan Shor ("Ram"). These guys pretty much answered a round of questions from Mark Altman, the editor of Geek Monthly and producer of "Free Enterprise", and Robert Meyer Burnett, noted DVD producer and director of "Free Enterprise". Mark oversees American Cinematheque which sponsored the screening. From "Trek II", Nicholas Meyer was on hand to answer audience questions and had some really funny stories not only about "Wrath Of Khan" but his other most notable film, and one of my all time favorites, "Time After Time".

"Tron" was presented in 70MM and it looked fantastic! The all fan audience was great, plus applauded and reacted at all the moments. Same thing with "Wrath Of Khan", the best scene being when Kirk yells, "KHAAAAAAANN!!!" Everyone cheered, laughed, and applauded wildly. I really love going to these screenings. To see my favorites on the big screen again with a group of people who really appreciate them and participate in a fun, positive way.

This is only Part One of the photos. I have a special "Tron" location shoot I'll be posting shortly. Stay tuned...
