Tron Legacy fact: Tron Trilogy

Tron Legacy fact #8

Apparently, they are already preparing for a third part to the Tron empire. Disney has commissioned Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis to develop a plot.  This duo was part of the writing staff for the TV series Lost.  I guess the likelihood of this franchise producing a trilogy will depend on the box office success of Tron Legacy.
