New 'Tron' races on

"Commercial director Joseph Kosinski is in final negotiations to develop and direct "Tron," described as "the next chapter" of Disney's 1982 cult classic. Sean Bailey is producing via the Live Planet banner, as is Steven Lisberger, who co-wrote and directed the original film.

Kosinski, who last month signed on to helm the remake of "Logan's Run" for Warner Bros. Pictures, will oversee the visual development of the project and have input on the script, which is being written by "Lost" scribes Eddie Kitsis and Adam Horowitz. Story details are being kept secret.

The original, about a computer programr thrust into a computer and forced to fight in games he helped create, is remembered for its sci-fi gladiator-style battles and groundbreaking special effects. It was the first movie to use computer-generated images instead of models and other optical effects in conjunction with live action. The arcade game based on the movie was so popular that it earned more than the movie."

I hope they get Bruce Boxleitner back to play Tron. Judging from his performance in the role for Kingdom Hearts II, he'd love to revisit that character again :-).

I guess that would depend on if they decided to support legacy applications..... :-)

I always treated the game "Tron 2.0" as the sequel to the original movie. It had almost everything a fan could want; Light Cycles, Tanks, the return of many characters, and a hot program babe!. :)

I have a bad feeling that the new Tron will be about some annoying kids and have lines like: "They crashed the Internet!" and "I need to interface the RAM...".
