I'm definitely liking the sound of this, however I remain skeptical for one reason: Oblivion. That is Kosinski's current project, and seeing as it hasn't yet started filming the most generous estimate for that one would be a late 2012 release date. It's more likely a summer 2013 deal, which is what IMDb is currently estimating.

Assuming Disney is still dedicated to Kosinski as they claim to be, TRON 3 wouldn't be getting underway until 2013 at the earliest, and assuming all of the pre-production work had already been finished and they could get straight to filming, a summer 2014 date is the soonest it could possibly be released.

Besides, Disney already has a large portion of their major release dates nailed down for 2013 and TRON 3 is not on the list. If the project has been green lit, we're still at least three years out before we'll see Mr. Boxleitner and company back in the grid on the big screen.

If I recall, they actually had requested they start on a script (obviously without the promise of making it into a film) shortly after the release of the movie as well.

first off adam, eddy, and joseph are NOT doing Tr3n. Bruce is of course and he said he think Daft Punk will be there too.!oseph looks like he's keping all his Tr2n people working on Oblivion, so we're likely to get a whole new feel in Tr3n.

I think the problem with Legacy was the writing. I liked the story, but when questions were answered, you were presented with more questions. That's the way LOST went (for those of you who don't know, Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz wrote for LOST). The problem with TR3N will be getting people back into the theater. Of course Tron fans will go, but what about those who weren't fans, saw Legacy and completely wrote off the franchise as horrible and confusing?

[SoCalSteve]

Luckily a lot of kids liked Legacy, which means they'll need parents to take them. Also, more and more companies are picking up the Tron concept for marketing which means Tron is being kept in our minds. We might not get an ARG for TR3N in lieu of a bigger standard marketing concept.

Also, Pixar came in and edited a bit of the script at the last minute. If we can just get Pixar to write TR3N, then this would be a "Pixar" movie as well and that will bring a host of followers all on its own.

I would've been more comfortable if this was announced at the D23 Walt Disney Studios Panel, but yes, I heard the same thing from Bruce when I got his autograph also.
