Like many of you, I was so sad to hear that Disney shut down Tron 3. The movie was on the verge of being greenlit, and all of a sudden from out of nowhere Disney decided not to move forward with it.
During an interview with /Film, Tron star Bruce Boxleitner talks about the third film being cancelled and said:
“I don’t really care anymore. I’m done with it. I’ve moved on. I hate to say that but it’s been too up and down for me. I would rather not just keep going. I don’t want to repeat my career anymore. That’d be like, ‘Let’s reboot Scarecrow and Mrs. King.’ No, I’m not interested. Or Babylon 5.”
John C. Reilly (Guardians of the Galaxy, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby), who voiced the titular character, confirmed at Galway Film Fleadh that Wreck-It Ralph 2 is in the works and that he has signed on for it.
The 2012 animated movie grossed over $470M for Walt Disney Animation Studios–$189M domestically and $281M internationally. Continue reading

According to Deadline, Disney has started developing a sequel to their 2014 Angelina Jolie fantasy film Maleficent. The studio has already hired screenwriter Linda Wolverton (writer of the first film) to write it, and it will obviously once again focus on the title character. The studio is hoping that Jolie will return to reprise her role, and they are keeping her in the loop in the writing process. There’s no guarantee that Jolie will return, but it would be kind of weird to follow through with the sequel if she doesn’t.
Although previous reports suggested that Walt Disney Pictures had plans to move forward with TRON 3, The Hollywood Reporter now brings word that the planned return to the Grid will not be happening. Both Garrett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde were set to reprise their respective roles as Sam Flynn and Quorra, with TRON: Legacy helmer Joseph Kosinski back at the helm. Sadly, the studio has elected not to go into production on the sequel. At least for the time being, the future of the TRON franchise has been derezed. Continue reading
