The Film Wiz

Wow…Whatever those guys involved in Tron 2’s pre-production are smoking must be some serious shit…They have to be sky high…From experience I can tell you that when your sky high you think of stupid shit like making a sequel with a $300 million budget with the original only costing $17 million…

Check out the statement from Vancouver Sun about Tron 2 ’s pre-production budget:

Vancouver post-production units are salivating at the prospects presented by the Disney remake of Tron, which carries a whopping $300 million budget and opportunities aplenty for effects and digital polish. The 1982 version of the film starring Jeff Bridges blazed new trails in computer graphics and you can bet Tron 2.0 will push much further down the pixel path.

Garrett Hedlund (Eragon, Troy) and Olivia Wilde (House, The OC) have been cast in lead roles. Bridges is also reportedly appearing in the new film along with original Tron alumnus Bruce Boxleitner. Disney has set up offices in town and shooting should get underway this spring.
