Editing Deleted Love Scene

[[Image:Yori apartment.JPG|thumb|300px|Yori's apartment.]]

The '''Deleted Love Scene''' between [[Tron]] and [[Yori]] is the longest and most controversial of the three scenes that were removed from the movie [[TRON]].

At around 1 minute and 54 seconds, the scene is short, yet contains some of the most complicated backlit animation in the entire movie (according to the filmmakers, over 40 separate elements were used to make the apartment "transform"). The scene also is unique from regular material that [[Disney]] has produced due to the fact that it is suggestively sexual in nature.

For many reasons, the scene was removed from the final cut. Director [[Steven Lisberger]] has stated that he regretted removing it. It is also noted that the scene was removed so late from post-production that the effects are completed and sound and music have been completed.

=="Morning After" Deleted Scene==

A second scene (commonly referred to by the filmmakers as the "morning after" scene) was made. Audio tracks do not exist for the scene, although there is very little dialog spoken. This is the only deleted scene with a CGI shot (by [[MAGI]]).

==Reasons for deletion==

According to Steven Lisberger on the TRON 20th Anniversary Collector's Edition DVD, the scene was deleted because they felt it was too sentimental at the time. In a interview with Visual Effects Supervisor [[Harrison Ellenshaw]], he told a story about having an argument with Lisberger at the parking lot of [[wikipedia:Technicolor|Technicolor]] where Lisberger reportedly said that removing the scene interrupted the flow of the entire movie and had to be kept in. Ellenshaw remarked that the scene "added a lot to the show" and that the scene was "whismical", "romantic", "cute" and "sexy".

When being interviewed for the DVD, [[Bruce Boxleitner]] said the scene was "confusing" due to the fact that they were playing computer programs, questioning if Tron and Yori were sexual beings or not.

==Love Scene from the 4th draft of the script==

The fourth draft of the script features an version of the deleted scene that is almost completely different from the final scene.

    314  INT. YORI'S APARTMENT                                        314


         As Tron and Yori enter. The apartment appears to be a box, with one
         window overlooking the cityscape, and the I/0 Tower. At first it
         looks empty, with strange murals of one dimensional furniture on the
         walls and floors.

                               YORI
                    My quarters.

                               TRON
                    Why is everything...like this?


                               YORI
                    It's a flat. But wait a micro...


         She lays her palm on the wall near the door. The door reappears, and
         a glow starts to fill the room, softly, slowly. Tron looks around;
         the flat paintings of furniture are expanding, filling out, becoming
         three-dimensional. The room glows a soft rose color, becomes
         charming, soothing. It is still small and limited, but the light in
         the air and the few pieces of furniture give off a loving, seductive
         aura. Tron turns back to Yori, smiling, and stops.


    315  HIS POV                                                      315


         With her hand still on the wall panel, she is glowing absorbing
         extra energy, changing. The severe work clothes metamorphosize into
         shimmering, diaphanous drapery, twinkling with thousands of
         diamond-like points of light. A silvery tinkling SOUND comes from
         her robes as she moves forward; her beautiful face, now surrounded
         by a soft mane of hair, glows with pleasure at the expression in
         Tron's face. She smiles lovingly, and reaches out her hand.


                               YORI
                    Come here.


    316  TRON                                                         316


         His face tells the story. The fugitive, returned from long exile, is
         being fully rewarded for his efforts.


                               TRON
                    You're beautiful, Yori.


    317  SHOT OF THEM BOTH                                            317

         as their hands touch, and the glow springs out between their
         flattened palms.


         Tron pulls her close to him, sliding his hand up her arm, leaving a
         glowing trace, and her hands move up over his chest.


                               YORI
                    You've grown, big program.


                               TRON
                    I had to...in the games...


         They move together into an embrace, but their lips never touch. All
         the energy is transmitted through their hands. They sink down onto
         what looks like cushions made of stars, their glow increasing. The
         room fills with the brilliance of the energy they are giving each
         other, and we hear their sighs, as the MUSIC comes up. Each of them
         moves their hands over the other, moving slowly, as if they were
         trying to touch the other's entire body at once. They roll over and
         are enveloped in the cloud of stars...
