Director Joseph Kosinski was at WonderCon this weekend promoting his cool looking sci-fi film Oblivion, and while there he gave a little update on what's currently going on with his Tron: Legacy sequel currently being developed. Here's what he had to say...
We've been working on the story for four years now. The first draft, Jesse Wigutow is writing it, is supposed to come in the next couple of weeks so the idea we have is really exciting. It has to be pretty exciting enough to get everyone back together.
Those are pretty hard movies to make. Legacy was almost three years. We got a really exciting idea for it. As long as the script can kind of deliver on that -- the interest is there on the studio side. It's going to have enough creative juices to have in order to dive back in. We got some exciting ideas -- so we'll see.
It's good to hear that the project is moving forward and that everyone, including the studio, is interested in making it! I really want this sequel to happen, there are so many cool directions they could take the story. I'm excited to see what they will end up giving us. It was previously reported that they'll be doing a complete visual overhaul on the look of the digital world, which should be interesting to see.
The director went on to say that not only is he working on the new Tron film, but he's also still developing the remake of the 1979 Disney film Black Hole.
