Hot on the heels of last week’s announcement that Steve Lisberger – the director of the 1982 ground breaking film TRON<\/strong> – was going to be returning to the director’s chair for the first time in nearly 20 years, the Hollywood Reporter<\/em> is saying that Lisberger’s on-again\/off-again sequel to the cult classic appears now to be on again.<\/p>\n

Commercial director Joseph Kosinski is reportedly in final negotiations with the Disney to develop and direct the as yet untitled TRON<\/strong> sequel. Kosinski will work with screenwriters Eddie Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, who have contributed to the television series Lost<\/em>, on developing the sequel’s storyline. In the original film, a computer programmer (Jeff Bridges) finds himself sucked into a virtual cyberspace world and forced to fight for his life in a series of deadly video games.<\/p>\n

In much the same way that Lisberger shot a test reel of one of the original TRON’s action sequences to show Disney executives what the film would look like, Kosinski is reportedly designing a sequence involving the original film\u2019s “light cycles” as a way of demonstrating what his vision for the film will be.<\/p>\n

Kosinski has already been announced last month as the most recent director tied to Warner Brothers’ ongoing attempt to remake the 1976 science-fiction cult classic Logan’s Run<\/strong>. The TRON<\/strong> sequel would go into production after Kosinski finishes up work on Logan’s Run<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
