Rumors about updated TRON Legacy and new TRON on Disney+

[TronFAQ]

A filmmaker has tweeted that a version of TRON Legacy supposedly exists, which has been upscaled to 4K UHD resolution (in 3-D, too).

And, more importantly, that the de-aging CGI effect for CLU (and most likely Kevin Flynn as well, in the flashback at the start of the film) has been greatly improved. No more “uncanny valley” look for CLU. He apparently now looks “normal”, and much more human.

I’ve linked to archived versions of the tweets making these claims, just in case they’re deleted.

As to why Disney would withhold an updated version of TRON Legacy (it’s not even on Disney+, as far as I’m aware), I don’t know. But I’m sure they’d release it, eventually. Maybe they’d do a limited 10th Anniversary re-release in theaters, next year? Followed by its release on Disney+/Blu-ray?

Thanks go out to wildchargergame on Twitter, for letting me know about this!


There's also a rumor about a TRON “reboot”, possibly appearing on Disney+. I wonder if this is the same “reboot” idea we’ve heard about before. Except, this time, perhaps without Jared Leto attached. We’ve also heard the “new TRON content coming to Disney+” rumor before.

Thanks once again to Employee_427 on Twitter for the news!

I checked on Disney+ and Tron Legacy is available, but it looks to be the same version as the blu-ray. Same CGI. Pretty good for the time period, but does look videogame-ish now.

And it never released
Might after Ares releases

There's definitely some kind of TRON Legacy remaster in the works. Though, whether or not it actually features enhanced special effects and CGI (like improving the faces of de-aged Kevin Flynn and CLU) is anyone's guess.

If you click that link, it will take you to a site that lets you see all of Joachim Rønning's Instagram account (without logging in). Joachim will be the Director on the TRON Ares sequel film (aka TRON 3).

If you click on the TRON icon on that page and scroll down a bit, you'll see a post from him with a video clip that's named "Movie night TRON remastered". It shows Joseph Kosinski, the Director of TRON Legacy, watching the film as it's being edited.

So something is in the works for an updated release of TRON Legacy. It will probably feature a 4K upscale, at least. But beyond that, we can't really be sure of anything.
