TRON is a franchise that remains to have die-hard fans in circles around the globe. the film franchise remains relevant, despite being almost fourty years old.
TRON Legacy hit theaters in 2010 and brought in $400 million worldwide, but with a budget of $170 million, Disney Studios felt that it wasn’t enough of a success to dictate a sequel.
Thirty-Seven years later, fans still want another sequel to the 1982 hit. All hope is not lost, according to co-producer Justin Springer. While out doing press for Dumbo, he tells Slashfilm that a sequel might still get made if everything aligns:
“Look, I will never stop being interested in making a TRON movie. I love the opportunity to do it. It’s a title that never really goes away internally.
There’s always people around the company who like it a whole lot. And so, we’ll see what happens. It would be great to get the opportunity to do it again.
It’s interesting – what I will say is that I think it continues to be relevant both in its ideas and also just the visual iconography of it. I think people are still are interested in it and it still feels contemporary to me.
So, it’s just about finding the right time,
right script, and the right people at the studio saying ‘yes’. You know, just the usual.
A TRON sequel would be great for a Hollywood landscape that is remarkably void of original tales. Even first-time Marvel films copy plots from tried and true successful films.
TRON Legacy stars Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde, Michael Sheen, Bruce Boxleitner
