‘Tron: Legacy’ Coming to Christmas 2010

And it’s not going to be alone.   Walt Disney has set the film to be released on December 17th, 2010, just in time to rake in the dough for the Christmas season.   Also set to be released that date are ‘The Green Hornet,’ ‘Smurfs,’ and ‘Yogi Bear.’

Surely, with Disney moving ‘Tron: Legacy’ to this date, one of the family films will end up blinking its way to a new date.   With Sony backing both ‘The Green Hornet’ and ‘Smurfs,’ chances are ‘Smurfs’ will find itself a new date sooner rather than later.   Sony could move ‘The Green Hornet,’ but, with them already pushing the film back four months, they don’t want to raise any eyebrows at the thought they might have a tanker.   Something tells me that ‘Green Hornet’ release date is pretty well set in stone.

Here is the official synopsis for ‘Tron: Legacy’:

In the 3D adventure, Sam Flynn (Hedlund), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (Bridges), looks into his father’s disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin’s loyal confidant (Wilde), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.

To reiterate, ‘Tron: Legacy’ has been set to release on December 17th, 2010.
