Comic-Con: Tron Sequel Finally Has A Decent Title

 

 Jamie can't believe they're making it and I can't wait to see it but the sequel to the 1982 Disney classic 'Tron' is headed our way and has gone through several permutations of title along the way.

When the concept footage was first unveiled to the public at last year's Comic-Con (I believe it was last year), the film was called 'Tron 2' but the powers that be decided that wasn't hip/trendy/confusing enough so the title actually read as 'TR2N'.

Not long after that, the title was changed to simply 'Tron' which is so stupid it defies description.

Thankfully, just today at Disney's Comic-Con panel, they announced the new (hopefully final) title as 'Tron: Legacy'.  That'll do for me though I will never understand why studios are so against numbering their sequels normally.  At least this film is going to be a sequel and not a reboot.  I'm sick of bloody reboots.

Thanks to Cinema Blend for the report.

'Tron: Legacy' hits theatres in 2011....................end of line.

Phil's nerdgasming is about to get worse - a lot so, in fact. Remember that test footage that premiered at last year's San Diego Comic-Con and made another appearance at the Con yesterday?

Here it is for your viewing pleasure in various high definition formats!

What? You didn't think "Tr2n" was a "cool" title?.....just joking.

Well it had a '2' in it, it just wasn't in the right place.
