More Tron films and a TV series?

If your part of the group, including myself, that’s already salivating at the arrival date of the upcoming sequel Tron Legacy, keep on reading. It appears that there’s already notions of yet another Tron movie in the works, which is not too much of a surprise since there is quite a fan base already built up from the 1982 film. What comes as even more surprising is a computer animated television series that the company is already eyeballing to possibly make happen.

Here’s the first excerpt from Blue Sky Disney (discovered by Dark Horizons) on plans for a possible trilogy to the science fiction adventure films.:

And should the box office returns provide what Disney Suits with smiling faces then you can expect a whole lot more over the coming years. On the theatrical front, this could be the beginning of a new trilogy. And I’m not talking about including the original Tron. If all goes according to plan you could see this as the first in a trilogy of films that start with the word “Tron” and end somewhere else… Legacy is only the beginning. There are preliminary plans to milk this into a franchise of “Pirate” proportions. And the buzz from it so far is very good.

Then a little more when it comes to the television series.:

And that’s not the only Tron project they’re planning on having for us in the possible future. The plans have been put into motion for a computer animated television series that could conceivably be up by late 2011/early 2012. This would be something of a placeholder to keep the fans interest still peaked in between this first film and the next one. No word yet on where it will wind up being broadcast. It’s not known if it’ll be staged for the Mouse’s fledgling boy channel Disney XD or the more mainstream ABC network, but as of now the concept has been greenlit. We’ll see how this project evolves down the development line as the film’s release gets closer.

What do you all think? Should they already be planning up on this much of Tron, or do you think that Disney should wait up a little bit before they go and jump to these sort of production conclusions with a possible franchise?
