Disney has released a new image from next winter’s tentpole mega-blockbuster Tron: Legacy, which, in and of itself, doesn’t call for much celebration – but issued alongside it is a laundry list of writers credited with the story and screenplay, which at this point numbers a whopping SEVEN. This is rarely a good sign.
Of course, alongside this information is the reassuring mention of Daft Punk providing the score for the film. We’ve seen Joseph Kosinski’s pitch video for this film, and I think we can all agree it’s far more impressive than such a thing has any right to be, so let’s approach the sure-to-be-blitzkrieg marketing campaign for the film with a sense of cautious optimism.
It helps that the original Tron has aged surprisingly well, and that Jeff Bridges is back on board for this sequel. And that Disney’s confident enough in the success of this film that they’ve committed an national economy’s worth of money to its production. And, once again, that that pitch video is remarkably reassuring.
Tron: Legacy drops 12/17/2010.
