Well, it’s official, folks–Tron Legacy has a release date and that release date is December 17, 2010.

Its upcoming competition?  You’re going to love this–it’ll be taking on Yogi Bear, The Smurfs and The Green Hornet, which means it’s almost certain to be the top movie of that weekend if for nothing else than it’s based on the most recent source material?  Or was it the Smurfs that’s most recent?  Well, anyway, they’re both almost thirty years old at least, so chances are the adventures of Kevin Flynn’s son Seth will not be the overlooked one at the box office next Christmas.

I don’t hold out anywhere near so much hope for the Smurfs, however.  Or for Yogi…or for the Green Hornet for that matter.  But either way, I know which one of the four I’m actually hoping to see, and if my opinion is shared by any decent number of people, it’s gonna be a bloodbath.
