Movie Trifecta: Tron, Kick-Ass, Transformers 3

?? Disney is so confident with Tron: Legacy‘s success that they’ve already hired Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz to write a sequel. Kitsis and Horowitz wrote the Legacy screenplay and currently serve as producers of Lost. I have zero problem with any of this. (Via Geeks of Doom)
? Fox News is certain that fake-killing people as Hit-Girl and saying “c*nt” in the Kick-Ass movie has warped Chloe Moretz’ frail little child brain, even if she’s acting fine now and everyone who was on the set say she’s fine, including her parents. Obviously, we can trust Fox News to know what’s best for a girl they’ve never met. Oh, and this is old news, but it only now dawned on me that Moretz is going to be starring in the American version of Let the Right One In; it’s the first bit of good news I’ve heard about the remake.
? Michael Bay continues to know what Transformers fans want in their Transformers films — not transforming robots, of course, but the lovable antics of Sam Witwicky’s parents. /Film reports that Kevin Dunn and Julie White will reprise their roles as Ron and Judy Witwicky, respectively. One can only hope that they get a little more screen time this movie… as well as their delightful, sex-crazed dogs.
