Forums - General - Tron sequel is greenlit!

I don't care if this is already a thread. I didn't see one when I started this.

Tron To Triumphantly Return To Theaters In 2011 (And In 3D!)

It's been over twenty five years since the original Tron flick took drive-in theaters by storm, but it looks like Tron fever may be sweeping the nation again in the next decade. According to film site Dark Horizons, Disney has plans to release a 3D sequel to the video game film, using the same technology in previous 3D efforts such as Chicken Little and The Nightmare Before Christmas.

The Hollywood Reporter previously wrote that Joseph Kosinski, currently said to be working on a Logan's Run remake, will be helming the project and that Lost writers Eddie Kitsis and Adam Horowitz would write the script. We just hope they haven't abandoned Tron's spandex roots. That, and that the discs are still deadly.

A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Why, oh why. I can see it now. Michael Bay will direct it and they will extend the racing sequence to half of the movie.

I have seen some damn good remakes out there, but come on Hollywood.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Tron is brilliant.... this will have to do something really special (and I don't mean effects-wise) to top it.

Oh the original was so amazing and that means almost gauranteed suckage for the sequal i hope its watchable.

You're confusing Bay with George Lucas. Bay's action sequences go on, but at least he didn't give one race more of a build up than both Death Star attacks.
