People are, and for good reasons, always sceptical about sequels. With good reasons. Not that many movies manage to pump up a worthy sequel (although Transformers 2 was actually nominated for an Oscar)
But, there is one film I am truly looking forward this year, and that is Tron Legacy!
Tron is one of my favourite Disney film of all time, although it must be classified in the “Fun Action” category like Pirates of the Carribean, and not the Disney Classics category. So when last year, rumours started appearing about a sequel to that wonderful early 80′s fiction (yeah it is that old!).
Tron Legacy, or TR2N manages to pick up the story where it left off almost 30 years ago, although it is rather uncertain what it is other than Flynn’s son (FLynn being the hero in Tron) is trying to find out what happened with his dad, and has to revisit some old but familiar places to do that. Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner reprises their role as Flynn and the evil Tron respectively, so the continuity gets maintained, but other than that the cast comprises of the new actors, Garrett Hedlund being this film’s protagonist and Flynn’s son, and of course, Olivia Wilde, which is a good thing as seen in the trailer that came out yesterday, March 8th, which you can watch here:
The film seems to have everything a Tron fan needs, from the awesome universe, light cycle wars and hopefully a good story, and in 3D! The release date is set to December 17th of this year, so most likely Disney is planning to have their big winter holiday blockbuster with this film.
