In an exclusive interview with CINESCAPE Magazine (on sale now), Steven Lisberger confirmed he's actively working on a sequel to the cult classic TRON, and is looking in an unexpected place for inspiration to the computer combat tale.
"I wrote the first two drafts, then Richard Jeffries was brought in and he did a rewrite," Lisberger said. He added several more passes were taken and that, "Hopefully we'll be looking at [the script] around the beginning of the year."
That would be now. He also said he was looking to Joseph Conrad's HEARTS OF DARKNESS (the book on which APOCALYPSE NOW was based) for inspiration in his return to the TRON universe. "There are some Conradesque elements to it, having to do with the character of Jeff Bridges'."
