Tron: Legacy Gets Release Date
Posted 09.05.09 by Ryan
Sorry, no light cycles for Christmas this year.
Disney has finally set the release date for Tron: Legacy, which will open on December 17, 2010, just in time for next year's holiday season and slightly before its projected release of "sometime in 2011." Legacy will have some competition on that weekend, opening alongside The Green Hornet and The Smurfs. Green Hornet was recently pushed back into the December 17 slot, and considering Sony owns both Hornet and The Smurfs, it's likely that one might be moved to another weekend.
Tron: Legacy is the sequel to the 1982's Tron, which starred Jeff Bridges as a computer programmer sucked into a video game to fight the master control program. Legacy will follow Bridges's son (Garrett Hedlund) as he is sucked into the video game to fight the program alongside his father. The stories may sound similar, but what isn't similar is Legacy being shot in 3-D. Light cycles in 3-D? Sound like a Merry Christmas, indeed.
