Christine Clarke:If you had seen those costumes in person, youd know why we didnt retain them!

When you see them, you realise theyre a little low-tech for what we need right now.

The only aspect we all wanted to keep was the circuitry the line work.

You retain that with the use of the LED lines.

And thats retained throughout the production in the finished vehicles and architecture, everything.

The suits youve designed are very sleek and close-fitting.

Were you worried they might be a little too sexy?

CC:I dont think thats possible!

I think youve seen there is a lithe shape to everyone, and bulked-up muscles.

We use the lights to accentuate the positive.

So I think there is a lot of reverence forTrons sexy, revealing look.

I think doing a great male physique was really critical, and we have an actor who has that.

But there was a conversation about the crotch area.

You do have to be mindful of it not being the focus of the film.

Having worked on300, with its codpieces, it was a big issue.

InWatchmen, it was the same…

NP:And lets not even talk about Doctor Manhattan!

[Laughs]

CC:That was our first crotch question!

How would the vehicles inTronwork in the real world?

Daniel Simon:I get that question a lot about the vehicles.

They were clearly designed to work in this parallel universe, to look awe-inspiring on screen.

There was never any intention of having them work in the real world.

CC:Theyll make special parking spots for them!

I think theres a lot of stuff coming out on the runways that has a kind ofTronaesthetic to it.

Theres a darker, edgier, more European style thats just happening.

And the film hasnt even come out yet.

I think, when it does, therell be many things itll affect.

But there is a certain beauty to it also.

NP:Its going to be more expensive for him.

CC:Id like to see it though.

A black silhouette would be more flattering on him!

Did you have a real city that inspired you for the architecture?

David Levy:The architecture, the whole city pattern is based on microchips.

CC:But I think design is cyclical in that way.

I think you will find that paradox in a lot of places.

We are all just manipulators [Laughs].

Will someone build an actual full-sized Light Cycle that we could buy?

DS:It wasnt designed for that, and the hubless wheels probably would be the biggest challenge.

I would not want to go into that rubber suit to drive one.

CC:I keep seeing people threatening that they will build one.

Give me one hundred and fifty thousand dollars and Ill make one.

DS:Well, well see.

That bike is apparently officially licensed, theres a company that is officially allowed to make the bike.

DS:[Surprised] Well I hope I get one for free!

CC:I cant possibly see how you could ride around on it in a practical setting.

DS:Of course it would work!

We thought about everything.

Well see what happens.

Neville Page, Christine Clarke, Daniel Simon, and David Levy, thank you all very much!
