Christian Post Report – Amidst the deafening buzz of Disney’s upcoming films like “Avengers” and “Star Wars: Episode VII,” moviegoers should also be in the lookout for the studio’s other exciting fantasy franchise, “TRON.”

The House of Mouse is now mobilizing the project to bring out the third installment of the hit science fiction film series. Temporarily titled “Tron 3,” Vancity Buzz announced that production for the “Tron: Legacy” sequel is slated to commence this fall in Vancouver, Canada.

Principal photography for the film, which stars Jeff Bridges, will start on October 5, 2015. Casting details confirmed actor Garrett Hedlund’s reprisal of his role as Sam Flynn.

Sam, in Tron 2, is the son of Bridges’ Kevin Flynn who was beamed into the ENCOM mainframe and was stuck inside the digital world for nearly two decades.

Hedlund was joined by actress Olivia Wilde who portrayed the Grid warrior character and confidante to its creator, Quorra. Right now, it is still undclear if Bridges, Wilde, or Boxleitner will be returning for the third series.

ScreenRant pointed out the high possibility for the band Daft Punk to once again lend their musical talents to the franchise after their successful involvement in “Tron: Legacy.” Director Joseph Kosinski said that “TRON 3” will be the “Empire Strikes Back” of the series, which suggests that fans should “expect a darker, less happy ending” sequel.
