Disney Setting Third 'Tron' Film In Motion
It's not often that a studio waits twenty-eight years to produce a sequel to one of its films, but that is precisely what happened with Disney's 'Tron: Legacy.' Now, in an apparent effort to prevent another two decades from passing between entries, Disney is continuing to move forward on a third film in the 'Tron' franchise. They have entered negotiations with Jesse Wigutow ('It Runs in the Family') to rework the script for 'Tron 3' - previously turned in by 'Legacy' writing team Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, and then further reworked by David DiGilio back in 2011. Should it ever get the official green light, 'Tron: Legacy' director Joseph Kosinski is attached to return for this next installment. 'Tron: Legacy' took in $400 million worldwide.
I'm actually really excited for this, though I never thought I would be. When I first came out of the theater after seeing 'Tron: Legacy,' I was really frustrated. I loved the original 'Tron' and the trailers for the sequel had my anticipation running high. Though I initially thoroughly disliked it, subsequent viewings of 'Tron: Legacy' on cable have turned me around on at least the first hour of the film. The spectacle of the new version of the grid, of the entire world within the computer in fact, impresses me to no end. It isn't until we run into Michael Sheen's character that the movie starts to go directly down hill for me. My hope is that 'Tron 3' will amplify 'Legacy's strengths and keep its weaknesses at bay. I do wish they had given someone else a crack at directing the next movie, and the fact that the biggest credit to the writer's name is 'It Runs in the Family,' is less than encouraging. The weak script is what almost completely derailed 'Tron: Legacy' so I really hope Wigutow is up to snuff. The big question now, will they be getting Daft Punk back to do the score?
What do you guys think? Would you be excited for 'Tron 3?' What other avenues of the grid can they explore? Are they making a mistake keeping the same director?

I had the exact opposite experience you did: At first I loved it, but every time I've watched Tron: Legacy since, I have liked it less and less. Quite dull and not that worthwhile actually. The soundtrack is kick-ass though

I agree that the weakest thing about legacy was the script. You could see a lot of tiny indications that the original script had been intended to strike a lot more similarities to the the original movie and the re-writes paved over them for the sake of slickness, After watching the first half season of the Animated Tron: Uprising, I can tell the story can be saved and expanded on in a satisfying way that still feels genuine to the original movie. As for Daft Punk, there's no reason why not, heck why not add a few people from the remixed sound track to give it a bit more dynamic range of talent while they're at it.

Based on the ending of Tron 2, The film will involve them Bike riding around a fountain.
Disney, Please take FULL advantage of 3D. I don't think anyone can convince me Tron Legacy was made to be in 3D and not quickly/if converted.

YESSSS! :D great news!
Same here: "My hope is that 'Tron 3' will amplify 'Legacy's strengths and keep its weaknesses at bay."
And they really need to keep 2 things: first of all Daft Punk and 2nd Olivia Wilde not a must but she was really easy on the eyes to say the least.

The should have Daft Punk spit-roast Olivia Wilde while The Dude smokes a blunt in the background. That would be enough.

I enjoyed Legacy. The visuals were captivating and I liked the score. The plot may have been the weakest link but I didn't mind it. Overall I am greatly excited for any future Tron installments.

Tron Legacy was one of my biggest disappointments ever. I really enjoyed the first 40 minutes, but after he hooks up with his father the movie was painfully BORING. Just make a fun film and i'll be happy.
