More On TR2N's Res-Up!!


Merrick here...


Jim Hill Media, one stop shopping for all news Disney, has posted an interesting piece about the behind-the-scenes creative/political machinations driving the development of TR2N.

Two points of interest include:

-- John Lasseter's enthusiasm for the project (although many in the studio aren't convinced a TRON sequel shuod be attempted, or would pay off);

-- Eddie Kitsis & Adam Horovitz (both producers and writers on LOST and FELICITY among many credits) have been brought in to script the project - effectively overturning a long-in-development script, designs, etc. by Steven Lisberger, writer/director of the original TRON.

The assignment of new writers had been mentioned before if I'm not mistake, although the jettisoning of Lisberger's material hasn't been mentioned to the best of my knowledge.

There's a lot fo cool stuff in the article, including link-outs to various media generated by TR2N director Joseph Kosinski (some of which has appeared on AICN previously); it'll give you a good sense of how he'll approach the "look" of the film.
