Another Busy Weekend! and TR2N!

So this weekend, I have been asked to be the DJ for Jeremy Alexander's wedding reception. He is marrying Katie Brest, Ben Brest's sister. The rehearsal dinner is tonight, and the wedding is tomorrow night. Then I am at Independence Center at 7:30 AM to help host the Breakfast with Santa for the kids club at the mall. At 3;00 PM I am headed down to the Westport Coffeehouse to setup and do our final tech rehearsal Sketchy Thoughts. Then the show starts at 8 PM! It should be a great show. Funny and offensive all at the same time. Then on Sunday I can sleep in!

Today I hung out and went over my lines for the sketch show. I was watching Tron on the G4 network when I heard them make a reference for a sequel. I did some searching and here is what I found:

'Tron' Sequel Getting a New Name?
Sequel Awaiting Confirmed Cast, Release Date
Slash Film is reporting that Disney continues to toy with the name for their sequel to Tron. For months now, the project has been known not as Tron 2 or Tron 2.0 but as Tr2n. Now, defying all reason, it may be altered to TRZ.

The news comes from Production Weekly although the studio has yet to officially name the project or provide a release date despite teaser images being made available since the summer.

The industry newsletter has the following synopsis “After being transported into the surreal landscape of a mainframe computer to destroy an intruder, a programmer finds himself allied with the leader of a rebellion against a corrupt cyber-entity.”

Jeff Bridges reprises his role as a programmer named Flynn with Karl Urban and John Hurt also said to be part of the cast. The new film has been written by Adam Horowitz (Lost) and Edward Kitsis (Lost) with Joseph Kosinski making his directorial debut. A 2011 release date is anticipated given the effects-heavy work required.


Wow. After watching the movie today, the idea of a sequel is very intriguing.
