It looks like we
won't be transported back to the neon grid anytime soon. According to The
Hollywood Reporter, Disney has pulled the plug on the third installment of the
Tron franchise, which would see the return of director Joseph Kosinski, and
stars Olivia Wilde and Garrett Hedlund.
No specifics were
given for the cancelation, but the disappointing response to Brad Bird's epic
sci-fi, Tomorrowland, may have influenced Disney's decision.
Kosinski's 2010 TRON:
Legacy had a moderate box-office and critic success, so perhaps the studio reevaluated
the property and decided that it was too much of a gamble to take, especially
five (production) or six (assuming it would come out in 2016) years later.
There were a few
reports that indicated that Tron 3 was going to start shooting later this year
in Vancouver, but Disney never confirm them, and the last thing we heard was
that the script was still being worked on.
Regardless of the
reasons, Tron is a known name, and I'm sure Disney will eventually reboot the
property.
