I was surprised in this day and age that a sequel to Tron Legacy wasn’t instantly greenlit during the casting process of the film. But still no one is pulling that trigger, however a TV Miniseries is planned to spell out what happened between films.
Adam Horowitz and Eddie Kitsis, the film’s screenwriters, confirm that they’ve also written a 10-part animated television miniseries that will fall in line with the continuity of the films. While a third film has yet to be greenlit, the cast and crew of the TV series, titled “TRON: Uprising” certainly speak to its quality.
Bruce Boxleitner, who played Tron in both films, is signed on. “Bruce Boxleitner is in it, Elijah Wood, Linda Moore, Paul Reubens, Lance Henriksen. I mean, we’ve got a really cool group of actors,” Horowitz tells Box Office Magazine
The series promises to explore a time before Sam’s arrival to chronicle how Clu took over the Grid and the events leading up to Legacy.
A third film didn’t get the green light yet, but an animated miniseries sounds like it could be fun to fill in the blanks.
