“TRON: Legacy” Roundtable Interviews With Writers Adam Horowitz and Eddy Kitsis, and Producer Justin Springer Michael Lee, December 4, 2010December 6, 2010 TRON: Legacy, Disney’s sequel to their cult hit of the 1980s will hit theaters in just a few days, and I got a chance to have a roundtable interview with the filmmakers to talk about the development of the film and how the viral marketing campaign played a factor. You can listen to the entire interviews after the break. One of the things that Tron is infamously known for is its weak storytelling.
