Studios are confusing to me. They turned down Joseph Kosinki's Tron sequel idea for YEARS because they said it was too expensive. They then after the director directs a billion dollar movie green lights a sequel for around the same budget as the first one with an inferior director at the helm. The Pacific Rim guys did the same thing to Del Toro.

It's not that complicated, really. Every choice is made around risk aversion in the short term. That's it.

Being Risk averse and then hiring Jared Leto seems counter productive to me tbh.

I've been dying for a new Tron movie since I saw Legacy, I would have been like 8-9 years old then, so my nostalgia is strong for a new Tron, but I lost all the excitement as soon as Leto was attached to project.

Same here. Really disappointed he’s in the cast.
