Tron 3 Is Cancelled

Posted by timothy on from the in-this-universe's-timeline-anyhow dept.

Dave Knott writes: Tron 3 won't be coming to a theater near you. Disney had been developing a sequel to Tron:Legacy since the movie, made for $170 million, grossed $400 million worldwide. But now they have chosen not to move forward with a third installment in the sci-fi series, sources say. "Disney has had strong success with its live-action properties recently, including Maleficent and this year's Cinderella, which earned $527.4 million worldwide. But it recently had a stumble with the $180 million live-action film Tomorrowland, which underperformed at the box office this past weekend with a $33 million U.S. debut."

    Tron was a great sequel and I've heard good things about Tomorrowland, but they'd rather make things like princess movies. They're Disney, after all.

    When can we expect yet another cute puppy-centered live movie?

      That will be an exciting movie. Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner will be in their mid nineties. They can do battle with the MCP pushing around their "light-walkers" and tell the younger cast how their identity disks were the size of a Frisbee instead of these new dime sized ones.

      The entire plot will end up being them trying to get their stolen identity disk back from the evil megabit or something. But then they discover that they accidentally used it in a soda machine by mistake. Everyone will get a good laugh out of it. Then when they return to the real world, it'll be completely destroyed because of a decompression error that will cause their oxygen tanks to explode upon materialization.

    I got it for two bucks at my local Grocery Outlet :p

    I thought it was an excellent music video, with some slow parts.

    Maybe there'll be a TRON III - The Search for TRON 2.

    I might actually go see that.

    Because remaking the same IP year after year is taking risks.
