Disney has reportedly pulled the plug on a third TRON<\/strong> movie.<\/p>\n

The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> has learned from sources that the studio has decided to not go ahead with plans for a sequel to the 2010 TRON: Legacy<\/strong>, which was a follow up to the original 1982 film about a computer programmer who is sent into the virtual reality world inside a computer network.<\/p>\n

Although the studio had not given the film an official greenlight, preparation had been started<\/a> on the film with the eye towards a fall shoot in Vancouver. TRON: Legacy<\/strong> stars Olivia Wilde and Garrett Hedlund and director Joseph Kosinski were all on board to return. Legacy<\/strong> featured Hedlund as the son of the original programmer (Jeff Bridges) who follows him into the world inside the computer. Wilde played a personified computer program who follows Hedlund’s character back to the real world at the end of the film.<\/p>\n

Legacy<\/strong> earned over $400 million at the worldwide box office from a $170 million budget, enough to guarantee at least a small profit for the studio. Given that sequels often have a lesser box office return from their predecessor, Disney may have had some qualms about giving the go ahead to a film that may have not been as guaranteed a hit as previously thought in the wake of the studio’s Tomorrowland<\/strong> opening to a disappointing $33 million weekend take last week.<\/p>\n

While I was only lukewarm on TRON: Legacy<\/strong>, I was intriguing by the way the film ended with Wilde’s computer program character having traveled from the virtual reality world to the real world. It is a pity that we won’t get to see how she her adventures here would have played out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
