The ENCOM Mainframe tells us that a sequel to the 1982 Disney move Tron is in the works.
The Hollwood Reporter says that commercial director Joseph Kosinski (who is also bringing us the remake of Logan's Run) is in final talks to direct the sequel to the classic video game CG movie. The new script is being penned by Eddie Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, who you might know as writers from Lost. The security program is not permitting further discussion of the story line (that's Tron speak for "the story is a secret").
Disney, we're all for a new Tron movie (and subsequent licensed games... maybe), but please, please do not let Wendy Carlos do another face-itchingly bad score.

The answer is no. Nothing.
but if they use a visual style close ot that of Tron 2.0 the video game im sure it would be a hit, that was one awsome game, from the music to the game play it was a WIN
Agree.
This movie has to be good or else... End of line.
If it sucks, I'll be the first one to say so. But from what we know now, there is every reason to be hopeful.

that's it. I really don't have a real side to join with on this one. I could care less about a sequel for Tron (divinity in film form that it is).
disney, break me like a disobedient house maid and prove me wrong, but i'm almost positive you don't have what it would take to make tron 2 be a 'good' movie.
God Tron 2.0 for the Xbox really sucked.
That is all I gotta say.
Then again if they are, pass me the chickpeas and the hummus my friend as I wait for the glorious black-light musical scene...
all they really need to do is copy the plot of the excellent pc game sequel. that would be awesome.
That being said, the only way Tron 2 will be cool is if they get The Dude back in there. Jeff Bridges + Bowling + The Matrix = 100% pure awesomesauce.
Just fucking wait.
Dale, did you say that the original Tron score sucks?
Because if you did, then you're dead to me.
No really.
Any gamer dissing the music of Walter/Wendy Carlos has to be one crazy son of a bitch.
Please tell me I read that wrong.
Also, I seem to remember reading somewhere that Tron 2.0 (the game) was an actual sequel to the 1982 film, like Ghostbusters 3.
