BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

TRON 3 Could Be On It's Way Sooner Then Later

Aint it Cool News has confirmed a recent rumour from What’s Playing that a second “Tron” sequel is on it’s way to being greenlit.

According to Harry Knowles, “TRON Legacy”, released in December to mixed reviews, is “set to cross $300 million worldwide” and “has proved, beyond a doubt that there is an audience that buys this science fiction fantasy.”

But it’s not just the film that’s helped the brand biggen – the merchandise (those light cycles; action figures, and so on) and CD soundtrack (by Daft Punk) have also helped Tron’s case. “Disney is beginning to realize, TRON could be a franchise”, wrote Knowles.

In December, What’s Playing’s Hollywood Insider column reported that the “creatives and execs involved in the latest film are pushing on under the assumption that the film will make a profit, and for that reason, they’re already brainstorming over the next sequel.”

One of the ideas being tossed around for the next sequel includes incorporating the character of Yori, played by Cindy Morgan in the 1982 original.

Oh, the reason she wasn’t in “Tron Legacy”?

“I’m told that this latest film was essentially “Flynn’s story” and because of that, some characters.. weren’t needed”, said the site. Producers decided that “instead of having a familiar face “walk past in the background” those characters might be best “saved for a later film where they’d potentially have something to do“”.

“There’s about five or six different story lines in consideration for the next film, and at least a couple of them feature the character of Laura, who would be married to Alan Bradley (Bruce Boxleitner’s character). In addition, Cillian Murphy is onboard the film, should it go ahead, playing two characters. I don’t think I need to say any more about that.”

The site said that Jeff Bridges wasn’t a lock to return as Kevin Flynn.

“It’s not for sure that he will be back” I’m told. “But if Alan and Laura are back, there will at least still be a link to the original”.

I don’t know why I think of a “Tron” movie without Jeff Bridges, but I do like the sound of more ‘Grid’ action all the same. More Bruce. More Cindy. More Daft Punk. More of Olivia Wilde’s legs. Yes, I’ll be there.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim
