Possible Title and Plot Details on 'Tron' Sequel
Monday, December 1, 2008 at 2:05AM
Since Disney gave the world a sneak peek at the sequel
to
Tron some three years early at this summer's
Comic Con, that they might be experimenting with the name of the film and
throwing out some ideas for the plot doesn't strike me as all that odd. After
all, this is the time to do it; you don't want to rename the movie six weeks
before it comes out.
1 - Shouldn't it be 2RON and not TR2N in the first place?
2 - Didn't MTV just cancel TRZ? No wait...it's the paparazzi website, right?
This news comes from Production Weekly, and I happen to agree with Peter at SlashFilm that the publication in question has been, well, in question for a few months. So until we hear it from Disney, we'll just keep the threat level on yellow for this bad boy. There's also a plot description from the Weekly, which describes Jeff Bridges' famed Flynn as possibly being seduced by the darkness: "After being transported into the surreal landscape of a mainframe computer to destroy an intruder, a programmer finds himself allied with the leader of a rebellion against a corrupt cyber-entity.”
You know what? That's not half bad. But again, since we've been mislead by Production Weekly before, let's not get our hopes up. If I had to pick, though, I'd say develop a draft of that idea into a script and stop overthinking the title.
