Disney is doing everything it can to make sure that Tron is everywhere, it seems. In addition to next month’s Tron: Legacy in movie theaters, the current Marvel Comics Tron mini-series and specially-themed Tron covers, the high-end Tron merchandise and Tron: Evolution videogame, the House of Mouse yesterday announced a new animated series, Tron: Uprising – the second Tron animated project in the works for cable channel Disney XD.
Uprising has an impressive list of talent involved in it. Amongst those providing voices for the series are Elijah Wood (as lead character Beck, who leads the uprising of the title), Paul Reubens, Lance Henriksen and Bruce Boxleitner (reprising his movie role as Tron himself), with Legacy writers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz also involved as consulting producers. The series will be directed by Samurai Jack veteran Charlie Bean.
Tron: Uprising will debut in 2012.
