Another Tron sequel goes into development

Although we are nowhere near the December release date of Tron Legacy, the sequel to Walt Disney’s 1982 science fiction film Tron, they’re already in the works to go and make a third installment of the cult series. Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, writers of the hit ABC television show Lost, are already putting together the script so production could start up as soon as possible. Now the one thing that Walt Disney Pictures really needs is a sure fire hit with Joseph Kosinski’s Tron Legacy.

No deals have been made with “Legacy” director Joseph Kosinski or cast members to return, though options were placed in the original deals, and Disney surely would hope to reunite all the elements if “Legacy” proves to be a hit, says the Heat Vision Blog. Tron Legacy stars Garrett Hedlund Sam, the son of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), who looks into his father’s disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce Programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin’s loyal confidante (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.

Tron Legacy will be released in theaters and in IMAX 3D on December 17th.
