Director Joseph Kosinski on Tron: Legacy and the Limitations of CGI-Created Actors

It’s been a very long road for Tron: Legacy to finally make it to the big screen. Rumors of a sequel to the 1982 cult favorite have been circulating on the Internet for about as long as there’s been a widely used Internet.

Even when a trailer for a sequel did materialize (originally titled TR2N ) at Comic-Con in 2008 — as director Joseph Kosinski explains, that was basically his audition tape — it took two and a half more years before the film was actually put together and released. For Kosinski, today, the wait is finally over.
