Tron is a 1982 science fiction film starring Jeff Bridges as Kevin Flynn (and his counterpart inside the electronic world, Clu). This is one of the first films from a major studio to use computer graphics extensively, Tron has a distinctive visual style.

The story is about a computer programmer thrust into a computer and forced to fight in games he helped create. The film is notably remembered for its sci-fi gladiator-style battles and groundbreaking special effects. It 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.

If you guys remember this movie or this arcade game, then you should be happy to know that commercial director Joseph Kosinski is in final negotiations to develop and direct “Tron.” Sean Bailey is producing via the Live Planet banner, as is Steven Lisberger, who co-wrote and directed the original film.

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 and have input on the script, which is being written by “Lost” scribes Eddie Kitsis and Adam Horowitz. Story details are being kept secret.
