A couple of years ago it was rumoured that a sequel to "Tron" might be in the works. Strong DVD sales for the original and a popular computer-game almost confirmed we’d be returning to the world of an outdated computer games guts sooner or later.
An agent for Jeff Bridges – one of the original stars of the film – told us at the time that "Apparently his part is being written like Marlon Brando in Apocolypse Now. The other guy (Martin Sheen) is looking for him but he’s fully entered the cyber world. It sounded like fun and Jeff is interested. We’ll see…"
Jeff Bridges apparently liked the script – but it never went any further than just that, a couple of people ‘liking the idea’.
Now it seems, the "Tron 2.0" idea has been scrapped in favour for a complete makeover. Yup, Disney are going to remake the 80’s fave.
According to Variety, Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal will pen the retool. They previously put pen to paper on "Black Cat", based on the 1940s Harvey comic book of the same name.
"We are contemporizing it, taking these ideas that were ahead of the curve and applying them to the present, and we feel the film now has a chance to resonate with a young audience," said Klugman.
Guess Bridges is out then?
