“My Friends, We Have Just Scored”
There have been rumors of a Tron sequel for about a decade, but I choose to get incredibly excited about each and every rumor, because Tron is totally fucking awesome. Anyways, Dark Horizons says Disney is planning a full 3-D and CG Tron sequel for 2011. I’d like to make a few requests if I may: make sure to have some live-action, otherwise it’ll be dull; make sure to include Bruce Boxleitner, because I’m pretty sure he’s free; and finally, make sure it’s all an elaborate metaphor about the joys of doing drugs, like the original.
