Disney Bringing TRON: UPRISING Animated Series to Television

Disney’s long awaited sequel Tron Legacy hitting theaters next  month, but if you're one of those old school 1980s fans that cannot get enough Tron then you are going to be real, real happy.   Variety reports Disney XD has ordered Tron: Uprising an animated series being developed for release in the summer of 2012. Charlie Bean (Samurai Jack) will executive produce and direct the series 20 and Tron Legacy writers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz will serve as consulting producers.

Heading into the world of Tron and lending their voices to the animated series will be Elijah Wood (Everything is Illuminated), Emmanuelle Chriqui (Entourage), Mandy Moore (Tangled), Paul Reubens (Pee-Wee’s Playhouse), Lance Henriksen (Cyrus) and Bruce Boxleitner reprising his franchise role as Tron.

In September, it was announced that the original Tron: Uprising would be a ten part mini-series in which a young program named Beck stands up against an evil regime headed by Clu who obtains his status after the defeat of Tron, the security watchdog program.

However, Collider reports that information is not true and Tron: Uprising is completely independent of that mini-series which will air in the fall of 2011. We've got a sh#t load of Tron to look forward to after Tron Legacy hits theaters on December 17th.

New Tron: Legacy Clip of Olivia Wilde Driving a Go-Kart

Walt Disney Pictures has released this clip of Olivia Wilde (Quorra) rescuing Garrett Hedlund (Sam Flynn) and taking him for a high-speed Light Runner ride.

Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), a rebellious 27-year-old, is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his father Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), a man once known as the world's leading video-game developer. When Sam investigates a strange signal sent from the abandoned Flynn's Arcade—that could have only come from his father—he finds himself pulled into a world where Kevin has been trapped for 20 years. With the help of the fearless warrior Quorra (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-or-death journey across a visually-stunning digital universe—created by Kevin himself—which has become far more advanced with never-before-imagined vehicles, weapons, and landscapes and a ruthless villain who will stop at nothing to prevent their escape.

Tron: Legacy is scheduled for release on December 17, 2010 (US and Canada).

Anyway, you can check out the new posters (via Screen Rant) below and eagerly await until December 17 for this sequel to be released.

Walt Disney Releases TRON LEGACY Movie Poster

Walt Disney Pictures have dropped an international poster for the forthcoming Sci Fi 3D bonanza "Tron Legacy."  The poster features Jeff Bridges as the first film's hero Flynn, looking like he is in a Wachowski brothers movie. 

I remember the original "Tron" movie and back  in my day it was the coolest thing to come along since Ocean Pacific (OP) clothes.  Motorcycles and neon/black lights in 1982 were very cutting edge.  Plus, the video game (we had to leave home and play games in an arcade) was nothing short of mind blowing. 

I am very excited to see "Tron Legacy", but I am concerned that it may not translate to the younger demographic that it needs to capture to offset it's huge budget.  I grew up on "A-Team" television series and enjoyed the "A-Team" move, but we all know that movie flopped.   Hopefully, original special effects and very good 3D will carry this movie and allow it to find a younger fan base.  We'll wait and see.

Extended 'Tron Legacy Trailer' is Better than Wearing Neon Clothes

Screen Rant assembled a new Tron Legacy trailer by remixing all the released trailers to date. 
Screen Rant's Tron Legacy trailer places more of an emphasis on the relationship between Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund) and his long-lost father Kevin (Jeff Bridges) than the official Tron Legacy trailer does -- quite fittingly too, since their relationship looks to be pivotal to the film’s plot as a whole.

It also offers a nice glimpse at some of the Tron Legacy characters -- including the lovely Olivia Wilde in her skin-tight, virtual suit -- and mouth-watering CGI-visuals we’ll get to eventually see in action on the big screen. Just enough so, that is, that viewers will still be left yearning for more.

A huge Gfest thanks to Mike Eisenberg and Screen Rant for this well fashioned trailer.  It will at least provide you with a little bit of a fix until we can see the real deal in 3D in December.
