Disney Reportedly Pulls The Plug On Tron 3

It appeared Tron 3 was moving forward, but a new report from The Hollywood Reporter claims that Disney has pulled the plug on the sequel.

The second Tron film didn't light it up the box office when you factor in the large budget that was required for the special effects-heavy film. That's why people were caught by surprise in March when unofficial news came out that Tron 3 was a go, and it would begin filming in Vancouver this fall.

Here's an interesting casting nugget:

It was said that the sequel was going to bring back director Joseph Kosinski (Oblivion) and stars Olivia Wilde and Garrett Hedlund (Pan). Part of the plot was supposed to focus on Wilde's aggressive, yet naive isomorphic algorithm exploring the real world.
