Jeff Bridges is Back for Tron 2 - Teaser Trailer Revealed at Comic Con

There have been a number of rumblings in the film news world about another Tron film being released by Disney, including word that it would be in 3D, and even that Jeff Bridges was going to be hearing a pitch about a sequel. No actual information had been confirmed though.

Until now.

Courtesy of the folks at Disney, Comic Con got a surprise look at a scene from the film. The teaser starts off with the camera panning through a strange stylized landscape. At this point, nobody knew what we were watching, so only silence filled the hall. And then, two blue/yellow suit-wearing motorcyclists burst into frame, engaged in a frenzy of a race. Audiences erupted in applause.

The race continues to grow heated between the two players until the yellow guy finds a way to swerve in front of the blue, leaving his yellow race trail behind him. The blue guy smashes into it and causes sort of an electric ripple, launching him over the edge of the track. He grabs on a ledge, just barely holding on.

2011: Disney’s Year of Sequels? TRON 3D, Cars 2, Pirates 4, National Treasure 3
Posted on Saturday, March 1st, 2008 at 4:41 pm by: Peter Sciretta

A tipster at AICN claims to have inside knowledge Disney’s plan to make 2011 a year of sequels. Again, none of this is confirmed, but let’s take a look at what we know so far about the projects mentioned:

TRON 3D: It was reported last year that Commercial director Joseph Kosinski was in talks to direct “the next chapter” of TRON, although we’ve heard this isn’t necessarily a sequel (you can check out some of Kosinski’s commercial work here). Word is that Disney is shooting to release the film in Digital Disney 3D in Sprint 2011.

Cars 2: We’ve heard rumblings of a Cars sequel for the last couple years, and according to this report, Disney is shooting for a 2011 release. I find it hard to believe that Disney/Pixar really wants another Cars film, considering it took in less at the box office than Pixar’s previous efforts. Brad Bird also spoke of how sequels was not in Pixar’s business plan, while speaking at WonderCon 2007:

Pirates of the Caribbean 4: Disney has been developing a fourth film in the Pirates franchise following the release of At World’s End. Rumor has it that the new film will be a spin-off following Captain Jack Sparrow, the character played by Johnny Depp. Many have speculated that Depp will be on a journey to find either the lost city of Atlantis or a more contained budget-friendly search for the Fountain of Youth. I’m sure Disney is eyeing a late May, June or early July release as that was the release schedule for Black Pearl, World’s End and Dead Man’s Chest.
