Tron: Legacy trailer

If you’ve been keeping up with the latest from the House of Mouse, you probably know that Tron 3 is dead, but I have a sneaking suspicion that we haven’t heard the last word on this matter.

Why?  Because supposedly the reason for Disney’s change of mind is the weak performance of Brad Bird’s Tomorrowland.

When you know that, perhaps you thought the same thing that I did, which was, Huh?

In other words, apparently Disney executives are nervous because a movie that deals with futuristic subject matter is flatlining at the box office somehow means that another movie–an entirely different movie, one that actually has a track record and a loyal (albeit cult) following–is going to fail as well.

In other words, it just doesn’t quite add up.
