A new Tron movie!!

Commercial director Joseph Kosinski is in final negotiations to develop and direct "Tron," described as "the next chapter" of Disney's 1982 cult classic. Sean Bailey is producing via the Live Planet banner, as is Steven Lisberger, who co-wrote and directed the original film.

Kosinski, who last month signed on to helm the remake of "Logan's Run" for Warner Bros. Pictures, will oversee the visual development of the project and have input on the script, which is being written by "Lost" scribes Eddie Kitsis and Adam Horowitz. Story details are being kept secret.

Oh please Ghu don't let them screw it up!!

(Also: in light of this, and apropos of nothing else whatsoever -- but a useful thing to know about as the holiday season begins its stealthy approach -- here's a website called TheThingsIWant.com, which lets you do custom wishlists (public) and shopping lists (private) so you can quickly add to them things you come across on the Web: and people who want to get you something for whatever-holiday-you're-celebrating no longer have the excuse that You're Hard To Buy For. They just go down the list, find something that suits their price range, and get it for you.

The app installs a tab in your browser's bookmark bar so that when you've navigated to the thing you want, you just hit the tab and a little bot-box comes up and notes all the item's particulars, allows you to add notes / customize, and then stores the whole business in whichever list you want it to go in. See, here's one of mine, so you can see how it looks. No, I'm not angling for anything, cut it out.)(Or alternately: Yeah, all of you pull out your credit cards this minute and buy me that $9000 copy of the Thousand Nights and a Night! (sigh) ...That's for when I win the lottery. I love Burton.)
