New Tron Game in the Works?
3:00AM Owen Good | Disney’s shutdown of two Utah studios may mean no Turok sequel, but plans for a new Tron game are still in the works, Variety reports. More »Tron, Without The Icky Computer Graphics
1:40PM Michael McWhertor | Having seen Tron at the drive-in as a wee lad, part of a double feature—it was paired with the pimps and prostitute-filled Vice Squad!—the craptastic Disney flick will always have a place in my heart. The fan-made version, a decidedly lo-fi affair, only makes the whole thing more endearing. It’s cute as a button and makes me wish I had a copy of Tron to watch right now. It also makes me wish I had my own lightcycle. More »
Tron To Triumphantly Return To Theaters In 2011 (And In 3D!)
11:02AM Michael McWhertor | 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. Disney Plans A Bumper 2011 [Dark Horizons - thanks, Matty!] More »

TRON 2 Coming To Theatres Eventually
3:40AM Mark Wilson | Tron 2 is coming steps closer to neon actualisation, as commercial director Joseph Kosinski is in final negotiations to direct the film. The only other project on his list is the upcoming remake of Logan’s Run, so it’s tough to tell just how much he’ll bastardise these original canons. The good news for Tron fans is the Steven Lisberger will be producing the film. He co-wrote and directed the original. Still, it’s difficult to see Tron as a remake. Either the film sticks to the original 80s-rrific setting, or it’s updated with Tron being some hero in GTAIV with Jeff Bridges participating in time races to collect prostitutes. One approach seems disingenuous while the other seems, quite simply, horrible. Then again, Tron was a pretentiously bad movie redeemed by incredible special effects and wonderful art direction. So it’s not exactly Citizen Kane 2 that we’re talking about here. New ‘Tron’ races on [thehollywoodreporter] More »
