‘Tron’ franchise gets new writer

We all know that “Tron: Legacy” was a visual spectacle, but the script left something to be desired—a coherent and engaging story to start. Disney is hoping to change this with the addition of screenwriter David DiGilio; considering Pixar was called in at the last minute to re-work some of "Legacy's" scenes while simultaneously writing completely new ones, it’s probably a good thing.

However, hiring DiGilio seems to be more than a bit of a gamble. Cinema Blend states the only other substantial piece of writing in his resume is “Eight Below," the surprisingly decent, and I mean surprisingly decent, sled dog movie staring Paul Walker. I’m willing to give him a chance. Are you?

Nice! New 'Tron: Legacy' trailer rocks!

Here's another "Tron: Legacy" goody: a brand-new feature trailer filled with new footage. How about that? As usual, it all looks pretty awesome, and you can check it out above. The film opens Dec. 17, 2010.

In the flick, Sam Flynn, the 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn, looks into his father’s disappearance and finds himself pulled into the digital world of Tron where his father has been living for 25 years.

This new preview gives us a nice look at the Grid, and the action looks more spectacular than ever. "Legacy" opens in 3D and in IMAX, and I have a feeling it will storm box office charts without a problem.

Awesome feature poster for 'Tron: Legacy'

Nice! Here is the brand-new poster for Walt Disney's upcoming 3D sequel "Tron: Legacy," which just happens to be one of the year's most anticipated adventures. Save the date: it's opening Dec. 17, 2010.

In the flick, Sam Flynn, the 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn, looks into his father’s disappearance and finds himself pulled into the digital world of Tron where his father has been living for 25 years.

Garrett Hedlund, Jeff Bridges, Olivia Wilde, Beau Garrett and Serinda Swan co-star in the Joseph Kosinski-directed film. The poster is gorgeous, and I can't wait for the high-res version to land online...

Disney launches 'Tron Legacy' sequel

Wow, this is quite early indeed. "Trong Legacy" won't open in theaters until the very end of this year, but Walt Disney is already working on a sequel. Okay, the project is in its earliest developmental stage, but Heat Vision reports writers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz have started work on a script.

Kitsis and Horowitz also worked on "Legacy," and their credits include TV's "Lost." How fast Disney will try and develop this third "Tron" film obviously depends on how well "Legacy" performs during opening weekend, but my guess is we will definitely see this sequel in the near future.
