"Tron 3" Cancelled By Disney


No more epic Daft Punk film scores I guess...

Yesterday, Disney has confirmed, with the Hollywood Reporter, that they have pulled the plug on the sequel to 2010's "Tron: Legacy". The 3rd film in the franchise was originally going to be directed by Joseph Kosinski, director of "Tron: Legacy", and would have Garrett Hedland and Olivia Wilde returning in their respective roles. Not too long ago, Disney was fully prepared to move forward with the sequel but, presumably after "Tomorrowland" not doing so well at the box office, it now seems that "Tron 3" will not see the light of day. 

I'm definitely one of the few people that actually loved the film. Although having some flaws in its characters and storytelling, I found the film to be highly enjoyable due to its raw kinetic energy and cyberpunk feel. It was a visual wonder that was accompanied by one of my favorite scores of all time, composed by Daft Punk.

It's really sad to see Disney pull the plug on the sequel right before they began filming. I would still love to see "Tron 3" done by the makers/cast of "Tron: Legacy" so hopefully Disney will change their mind, however it sadly might be a little too late for that.

What do you guys think?
