Another New Tron Legacy Image And Possible Trilogy Dan Koelsch, March 2, 2010 Today we have another image from Tron Legacy featuring the Flynn’s Arcade sign, as well as reports that Disney (the studio releasing the film) is looking to expand the franchise into a full-on ogy. The full image and story after the jump. The picture comes (again) from Total Film, and (again) features Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund) on his bike after getting a weird message from the abandoned arcade. Click on the image to see it full size. Also, FirstShowing reports that Disney is looking at making another two sequels if Legacy is successful, according to the Blue Sky Disney Blog. Yes, that would mean an entirely new trilogy outside of the original 1982 Tron that Legacy is based on. Given the buzz around the film and the success Disney has had with franchises (see: Pirates of the Caribbean), this shouldn’t be too surprising even though I couldn’t find a direct source that information. Of course, this is all dependent on how successful Legacy is. So, do you think it’s a good idea for Disney to milk to concept? Are you excited to see Tron Legacy when if comes out in December?
