Hey gang, thanks for all the input. Sorry I've been absent as of late, had another project I needed to finish up before I could start work on this. Seems like a lot of great input and the census seems to be to do the lightcycle scene? That probably would make the most sense, so I'll see what I can do.

It's too bad there isn't an HD version of the film floating around that I could use as a basis for this project. I want to make sure that if I'm doing it (even if it's just a scene) that it's at least the best quality.

If anyone has any more ideas, please feel free to keep this thread alive. It's all appreciated.

Check t*hparad*x for any possible HD torrents... if they do not have any, you can post a request.

In regards to what direction to take, I would keep it along the looks of the original but just enhanced like the image posted above of Jeff Bridge's nose bridge - in some of the scenes, the neon lighting on the costumes doesn't wrap all the way around due to the filming process. I would do things as mentioned in my previous comment, as well as:

(1) add subtle textures to the walls along the lines of computer chip board patterns or circuit patterns.

(2) when Flynn crashes the Recognizer and he walks among the "pre-internet" programs, show some big screens showing internet related stuff (it would have to be fairly primitive, as we are still talking about mid-80s era internet - hell, as a side joke, you could show the message screens from WARGAMES [when Matt Broderick is first conversing with WHPPR) on one of the big screens overhead as Flynn walks by).
