Possible Tron Trilogy On Its Way?
Written by Ender on March 2, 2010 · Filed under TV/Movies
It’s not even out yet, but there’s already talk of a new Tron trilogy…….IF the upcoming ‘Tron: Legacy’ can make a huge sum of money at the box office.
Disney has said because of the hype that Tron: Legacy is starting to pick up, it’s likely that a trilogy will be on the cards. Following on from Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy is this a good thing? Pirates was amazing, but got worse as they went along (mainly because of Orlando Bloom’s and Kiera Knightleys god awful performances…in my opinion).
If it hadn’t been for one Johnny Depp, those films would have failed abysmally, no wonder they won’t be back, but Johnny Depp will return for a 4th Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
So what’s to say that the proposed trilogy of Tron will be any good. Surely if Tron: Legacy does become and box office success, why not leave it at that instead of cashing in as Hollywood always seems to do?
Not only is there possibly a trilogy, but a computer animated TV series which will fill in the gaps between the first and second films of the new trilogy which has been pencilled in for late 2011/early 2012 as well as a new Tron ride in Disneyland. A bit OTT?
I’m excited to see Tron: Legacy as I thought the original was really good a deserves an overhaul as it were, and seeing it in 3D, in my eyes, is the way it was meant to be seen!
But let’s see how well Tron: Legacy does when it’s released at the back end of this year.
Think a trilogy is a good idea if all goes well, or are Disney just hoping to cash in and drive another franchise into the ground? Let us know below.

The POTC Trilogy was awesome. If you ask me it had nothing to do with the actor’s acting. It was the writing. Orlando Bloom always gets stuck with stupid lines. And he’s more modest than most actors so he’s not going to demand more even though he should. FYI: I only ever watched POTC because of ORLANDO BLOOM and so did a million other screaming teens! So yeah Johnny is great but so is Orlando. He’s was after all the Billion dollar man in the last decade. He’s made Hollywood a lot of money. So don’t diss his acting. I can’t wait for The Good Doctor.
I love how people are always knocking Orlando Bloom. He seems to be the kicking bag of choice. His performance in POTC 2 and 3 were fine. It was the terrible story line and too much going on. Johnny’s acting was no better and he walked around like an idiot most of the time. The ONLY thing worth watching in these two movies IS Orlando Bloom. And even though these movies were not very good, they still did magnificently at the box office. Not just because of Johnny Depp.
