A New Tron coming to a theater near you....maybe

According to the Hollywood Reporter:

Director Joseph Kosinski is in final negotiations to develop and direct "Tron,". The original movie was about a computer game programmer (Jeff Bridges as the programmer and Bruce Boxleitner was Tron), gets sucked into a computer game and forced to fight in games he helped create. Tron is remembered for its sci-fi over the top battles and groundbreaking special effects. Tron was the first movie to use computer-generated images instead of models and other optical effects in conjunction with live action. The arcade game based on the movie was so popular that it earned more than the movie. Kosinski, who last month signed on to helm the remake of "Logan's Run" for Warner Bros. Pictures, will oversee the visual development of the project.

Remaking Logan'sd Run??? Why???

It seems that Hollywood is incapable of coming up with fresh ideas...(will Logan have a talking car and a sidekick this time???)

There's a lot of great SF out there, and with CGI nowadays, there is very little in SF (if any topic at all) that is beyond doable...

You know Shaun, I have to agree. Do we need another Tron or Logan's run?
Neither of these were great SF and were mediocre at best. (though the thought of no one living to a ripe old age was a bit inventive) Can we expect them to improve with better graphics? hummmmm
