Walt Disney Pictures has attached Joseph Kosinski to direct Tron 3, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed Wednesday.
Disney is understood to be eyeing a fall 2015 start of production for the follow-up to Tron: Legacy, which has not yet been officially greenlighted.
Kosinski was behind the sci-fi movies Oblivion, starring Tom Cruise, and Tron: Legacy, which was shot in Vancouver.
Studio operators in the West Coast city are in the running to possibly land the Tron 3 shoot, but no bookings have yet been confirmed, according to local players. Vancouver will host another sci-fi tentpole this year, Star Trek 3.
Toronto in 2015 will host production on Warner Bros.‘ Suicide Squad movie, based on the DC Comics property, and Guillermo del Toro‘s Pacific Rim 2.
Kosinski is repped by CAA and attorney David Matlof from Hirsch Wallerstein.
