Disney seems to think "Tron" director Steven Lisberger is too 'meh' to pen the upcoming sequel. Rodent City - or is that 'Squirrel City'? Every time I visit the Burbank studios of Disney, I can't help but notice that the humans are outnumbered by nut-eaters!- say they always loved the visuals in the 1982 film, but not the story.
House-of-Mouse CEO John Lassetter has hired Eddie Kitsis & Adam Horowitz to create a script for "Tr2n" - one that'll encompass a bigger-and-better story than Lisberger could've come up with (their words).
An even bigger kick in the balls for Lisberger? Disney has asked Tyro director Joseph Kosinski - whose biggest claim to fame is directing a couple of sneakers commercials - to direct the flick. Ouch. Hold onto your sack, Steve.
