TRON 2 GETS NEW LIFE WITH NEW DIRECTOR

Walt Disney Pictures is in final talks with commercial helmer Joseph Kosinski to develop and direct "the next chapter" of TRON, according to THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER. Live Planet's Sean Bailey is producing, along with the original's co-writer and director Steven Lisberger, who will oversee visual and script development.

The new take on the franchise will be penned by LOST writers Eddie Kitsis and Adam Horowitz. The 1982 film chronicled the adventures of a computer programmer who is sucked into a computer and forced to participate in the deadly virtual games he helped create. The film was a landmark of visual effects, being the first to use CG.
Brigham Taylor is shepherding for Disney.

Kosinski, who hasn't helmed a film since 1989, earlier in the year signed on to direct Warner Bros. remake of LOGAN'S RUN.
