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).

I would so Love to see an Update of this

It would take some serious time doing this project

but it would be so awesome if done correctly.

Im sure people would want to pitch in and do there part
