Disney is prepping a third trip to the grid and has hired David DiGilio ("Traveler") to pen a sequel to last year's "Tron: Legacy."
According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Legacy" writers Adam Horowitz and Adam Kitsis were on board for the sequel but left to work on "Once Upon a Time" for ABC.
The report goes on to say whether or not the third film gets a green light will be determined by the success of the animated series "Tron Uprising" which is set to debut on Disney XD in 2012.
It is not known whether "Legacy" director Joseph Kosinski will return.
Obviously the first film is a classic. The sequel bowed in December and picked up $172 million domestically and an even $400 million worldwide. It was not a cheap movie to produce though.
Story wise, it definitely left room to continue, though as I mentioned in my review of the film, if they do follow Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund) and the plight of the ISOs, they need to be careful not to garner comparisons to "The Matrix" movies.
