The Story Behind Tron 2
Most of the online community has seen the Tron 2 footage that was leaked from Comic-Con. I don't know the majority opinion on the teaser but at least for my part, I loved it. Since then a lot of people have been wondering what was going on with Tron 2 or Tr2n.
io9.com points the way to Jim Hill Media about the film. Steve Lisberger who wrote the original film has apparently been working on the script for this film for 5 years. However they also report that Pixar/Disney animation head John Lasseter is going in a different direction from Lisberger and hired Lost writers and producers Eddie Kitsis & Adam Horovitz to pen a script. Jim Hill Media says, "He [Lasseter] felt that Lisberger had missed some obvious opportunitie to create a truly compelling piece of entertainment. Something that would have touched an audience's emotions as it dazzled their eyes."
In response Steve Lisberger wrote an email to Ain't It Cool News about the matter. "Jim Hill's piece on Tr2n sounds very dramatic but actually we are trying to put all the drama into the script. I can assure you I am very much involved with Tr2n. It's a collaborative effort just like the first film was. We have a very talented and dedicated young group and I am doing my best to inspire them as much as they are inspiring me. The trailer, as amazing as it is, is only the beginning," says Lisberger.
From the sounds of it he's working with the new writers to create the best script possible and with Lost writers and the original Tron writer behind it... I'd say that's a good sign. I hope that the studio goes through with making this film because what was seen, even on a bootleg, was amazing and I loved it.
