While copies of the original Tron have mysteriously gone missing, Disney has been hard at work on a new Blu-ray for the film. When Steve spoke with Tron director Steven Lisberger back in October, Lisberger said he had spent six weeks remastering the original Tron for its Blu-ray release. Lisberger says that the remastering mostly involved tweaking the color balance so that it approaches his original intent. The HDRoom now has a first look at the cover art for the upcoming Blu-ray and it looks like it will be a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack. Also, the title on the front is "Tron: The Original Classic", which just sounds redundant. Also, would that make Tron: Legacy the unoriginal inferior? They've also limited the colors on the cover to black and blue, probably so it falls more in line with the aesthetic of Tron: Legacy. Hit the jump to check out the cover art.

Oh no! Tweaking the colour balance! Now all I can see now is blue with white backgrounds with green all around it! SIGH rather than blue and white in some of brighter scenes.
I think I’ll look at the DVD beaver once the films released because the beaver saves me money. If the screen captures look like total bluray crap, I won’t touch it with 100 foot barge pole!
I hope the original Dolby film mix isn’t f$%%^ed up! I don’t give a toss about the dts now nothings going to change. I just hope the surrounds haven’t been turned to total crap with centre phantom front folded onto the centre.
