I was just about to post this from Bleeding Cool:

http://www.bleedingcool.com/2011/06/07/next-tron-could-have-all-new-creative-team-fresh-writer-already-hired/

TRON: Legacy screenwriters Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis have moved on from the franchise to focus on their TV series, Once Upon a Time. As a result, Disney have appointed a new writer to work up the script for Tron 3.

The lucky winner is one David DiGilio, an alumnus of the Disney Writers Program. He’s currently working with Walter Parkes on a script called Daemon which is, like every other script with Parkes’ name on it (ie. War Games and Sneakers), a techno thriller.

This is really encouraging, I think, as Parkes has a fine eye for story and stroytelling technique, so if he’s working with DiGilio, the fella most likely has some real talent.

Didillo DiGilio has also recently sold a pitch to Showtime, for a new sci-fi series called Last H.o.P.E in which the acronym stands for “Hospital on Planet Earth”. It’s Mad Max meets M.A.S.H apparently. Shame they didn’t call it Mad M.A.S.H.

As well as a new writer, there’s also a chance that the next episode will need a fresh director. As The Hollywood Reporter put it:

Since it is early in the development process, it’s unclear whether Joseph Kosinski would return to the director’s chair.

So, Tron 3 could be a nice rewiring for the series (I would have said reboot, but that coinage has already been claimed for something different). I’m always up for anything with Jeff Bridges in it, and my affection for the first (already quite daft, but exotically designed) Tron will go a long way, so I’d like the third film to be a real winner.

Digits crossed. Pun intended.

Joe Kosinski should direct Tron 3. He pulled a rabbit out of his hat with Tron: Legacy. The more I watch it, the better it gets. I'm sure there are more and more people out there that regret not seeing it at the theater. Tron: Legacy was so complex, that most could not grasp the "Lost" writers intention. Also, the new story incorporated many nuances from the first Tron. It's a lot to think about for a new director. He didn't even break a sweat. What a cool customer.

Why is that done? Let Joe make 3, let JJ Abrams direct ST 201?-whatever it ends up being. Take a good blend and mix it up with new ingredients, and you could mess up the recipe.


Forget it, Mr High and Mighty Master Control. You aren't making me talk.

Joseph did a pretty good job directing the first from a technical aspect, but you can tell he was still inexperienced otherwise.

I wouldn't mind him directing it again now that he's got some experience under his belt, but it would also be a good idea to have another director with more experience directing actors and have him stay on as a co-director/technical director.

I had a few issues with the T: L screenplay, so I don't mind someone else taking over script duties from The Lost Boys. I don't know what to expect from David DiGilio, (I'm not familiar with his work), but with someone new in the writer's seat, I can at least hope that some of my issues with Legacy will be addressed in the sequel.

On the other hand, I think Joe Kosinski did a great job, even moreso when you take into account that T: L was his first feature film. He's clearly passionate about the Tron universe, and I'd love to see him direct the next movie.

I just can't see how a movie that broke as much ground effects wise and in so many other ways-enough that it was sheer genius-could ever really be equalled or topped. Can't be done. It's liek the Zippo lighter...a design success story that has remained essentially unchanged for decades. Change the design at all and suddenly you have osmething that is in no way an authentic Zippo lighter and/or the Slinky. It-and TL-occupy a very rare space in the world of marketing in that they are that rare product that is a hit, and which can't be improved upon, and whcih is timeless. While all companies strive to make such "perfect" hit products", which are also timeless in their usefulness and appeal (TL will still look cool 50 years from now, believe me), the deliberate creation of such products is all but impossible, and whenthey come into being it's almost by accident. If it weren't then we'd see them ebing made every day. INstead we'll only see a handful of such movies and material goods in our lifetimes. Let's throw in the the Webber Smokey Joe BBQ while we're at it, shall we? Can't improve on that much as it is.

They had everything in place to make TL a movie that was beyond belief. I can say that in this company, I'm amongst frends here. But there is also the element of luck that it all not only came together, but also worked. Plenty of movies have a great cast, writers, effects and design teams and they still fall flat on their asses.

It would also be a little "done" to have a new movie set very much in the Tron universe. It's beautiful but aside from changing the colors from blue and black to, say, red, I don't see how you'd improve on it and still have it look like the Tron universe. It may be better for them to leave well enough-if not actually *perfection itself*-alone this time. Kinda like that stupid new Zippo butane lighter that no one likes anyhow.

Hey Renegade! Not much, just trying to stay ahead of this wave called life! LOL! Yeah, when I saw the news story, I figured I'd post a link to it here as I knew we would all be interested.

I'm pretty sure Disney is going to make a follow-up film to TRON: Legacy. They've already signed 3 of the 4 main characters for another film, and I think Bruce "not signing yet" is Disney's way of not revealing their hand. They need to keep some uncertainties in the plan and surprises for the fan base...have fans wondering, "Are they going to make the next film or not?"...that kind of thing.

I do hope they go ahead and make a follow-up TRON film. And I guess that's just the selfish 11-year old fan boy in me greedily wanting more TRON!! LOL! order abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pill

*copy - paste*
Dunno which of the two threads you want to keep open, so I also post my thoughts here:


This can't be good....
I hope at least Kosinski returns for Tron 3. He must.
His work was not the reason why the film recieved mixed critics and bombed at the box office. (400m$ is not a good result for Disney!)

It was the writers fault. But even they did a great job after watching it 2 times on DVD now.
The 3D imaginery in theatres just surpressed the way-above-average-quality of the script. If you watch Legacy at home, you notice the story is better than remembered and the weak moments in Flynns hiding hole are not as weak as in theatres.

I hope this new guy knows what he does and has experience in the TRON universe.

When you watch the DVD extras you can see how much effort Kosinski puts into designing all stages and the CGI grid. Kosinski is a genius in art and architecture. He is a good director and he really cares about the mixed critics. That is good! He is someone who wants to learn from his faults.

If Tron loses him as the director, it loses the great architecture Legacy had. And maybe it loses the fight against bad critics and bad sales.

TL was nowhere near a hit, and had alot of problems and plot holes and things that were left unexplained. There's definitely room for improvement.

True, it has these problems.
However, the story and the film in general is not as bad as the Tomatometer wants to tell us. Legacy is not a 50. Maybe a 65, slighly weaker than TRON, if I take TRON's rating as a reference.
Personally, I'd rate both movies with 9, maybe 8.9 for Legacy.

I gave it a 100% on rotten just to help this film keeping up the myth.


In fact, with the DVD at home, I did not care that much about the plot holes. Most stuff was cleared in the movie. Even the ISOs ... kind of.
