Tracking Tron-A-Thon

Suits over at Disney are hoping that their December 17th release of "Tron: Legacy",the sequel/reboot of the 1982 sci-fi cult classic will be a major hit as plans are already underway to create a potential franchise.



A source told Blue Sky that "on the theatrical front, this could be the beginning of a new trilogy, and I'm not talking about including the original Tron. If all goes according to plan you could see this as the first in a trilogy of films that start with the word "Tron" and end somewhere else... Legacy is only the beginning. There are preliminary plans to milk this into a franchise of "Pirates " proportions."

There's talk of a TV spin-off as well - "Plans have been put into motion for a computer animated television series that could conceivably be up by late 2011/early 2012. This would be something of a placeholder to keep the fans interest still peaked in between this first film and the next one. No word yet on where it will wind up being broadcast... but as of now the concept has been greenlit."
