Tron - Next on the Remake List?
Posted by:That's what seems to be happening. Here's the latest - Disney has recently hired screenwriters Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal to write a remake of Tron, the 1982 Steven Lisberger film about a computer programmer who gets sucked into the parallel world of a computer program, reports Variety.
Klugman and Sternthal has both said that they feel that the world has caught up with Lisberger's original concept, making it ripe for redo. "We are contemporizing it, taking these ideas that were ahead of the curve and applying them to the present, and we feel the film now has a chance to resonate with a young audience," said Klugman.
Sternthal said the new concept is that the computer programmer gets trapped in a cyberworld, so that the film can utilize the Internet.
