10 years after the release of Tron: Legacy it is very fresh news that the Disney is about to produce a Tron 3, a third film in the series. Some rumors had circulated immediately after the release of Tron: Legacy, but the production had remained on standby until 2015, when it was canceled. Second Variety it would seem instead that the production of the Tron sequel has been put back on its feet and that it will have Jared Leto in the lead role, while Garth Davis will be the director. The screenplay was written by Jesse Wigutow.
Already some time ago there were rumors about the participation of Jared Leto, so we can consider the news now reliable, while that of Davis could be an unexpected choice, since the genre of Tron is actually out of his comfort zone. The director is in fact used to drama genres and films without CGI or special effects. However, the new director has already taken an active part in the pre-production of the film and seems to have a very clear vision of how his work will unfold and how the story of this saga will continue. A choice that pushes the film in the right direction, even if the latest confirmations regarding the start of filming are missing.
The director has therefore not been confirmed Joseph Kosinski, who directed the previous chapter. They might come back instead Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde e Jeff Bridges, protagonists of previous films. There are no details yet regarding the plot, but the open ending of the second film leaves room for many paths.
We have a fantastic script. I mean a truly phenomenal script that we are very excited about. Years ago we weren't ready yet, but now is the right time and we have learned a lot from previous chapters.
That's what he stated Mitchell leib, the Disney music executive talking about the screenplay for Tron 3. For detailed information on the plot, production and release date, all that remains is to wait for new news.
