‘Tron Legacy’ Revealed by Disney at SDCC and on Facebook
Today, simultaneously at the 2009 San Diego Comic Con and on Facebook, Walt Disney Pictures reveals the official name and logo for the Tron sequel: Tron Legacy.
Announced at the Comic Con panel is that the new movie is still about a year away from completion. Concept art of the new lightcycles and car versions of the lightcycles were revealed.
I’m glad the earlier reports of the new movie just simply being called Tron were incorrect. Tron Legacy sounds cool. And since it’s been 27 years since the original movie, the “legacy” name could really work.
What do you think? Are you excited for Tron Legacy? Do you like this official name? Tell us what you think!
Updated ‘Alice’ Photos on Walt Disney Pictures Facebook Page
Simply stunning display of colors and maddness!

Check out the Alice in Wonderland photos on Walt Disney Pictures Backklot’s Facebook Photo Album.

Disney CEO Says You Might One Day Pay For Hulu Content
According to an Associated Press report, Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Bob Iger believes consumers are willing to paying for online content from Hulu. In April, Disney joined Hulu founders, NBC Universal and News Corp, by providing TV shows and movies to the site. Iger also spoke of Disney’s plans for a subscriber-based web site that would offer TV shows, movies and games for a price.
At first read, I was upset. Most networks provide free TV shows on their web site. Why charge? But it all depends on what content Iger means. Is he talking about a Netflix-type site? Or will it be Disney Channel and ABC programming that is currently offered for free? Hopefully, he will provide further details.
What do you think? Is Iger right? Are you willing to pay for online streaming content? Let us know!

Disney Reveals ‘Prince of Persia’ Movie Photos
Uber-producer Jerrry Bruckheimer and Walt Disney Pictures will bring the popular Ubisoft fantasy adventure video game to the big screen. What is sure to be an epic movie for the 2010 summer movie season, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Dastan, a street urchin in 6th century Persia. After showing valor in battle, he is adopted by the king as his heir, so the king’s two sons will not fight over the throne. He teams up with Princess Tamina (Gemma Arterton) to rescue the Sands of Time, a gift from the gods that controls time, from the hands of the villainous nobleman, Nizam (Sir Ben Kingsley).
Alfred Molina will portray Sheik Amar, Dastan’s mentor.
Mike Newell will direct the movie, which will hit theaters May 28, 2010.
Here are Gyllenhaal as the tough-looking, Dastan, and the beautiful Gemma as Princess Tamina.

Check out the September issue of Empire for more exclusive pictures, and a report from the set of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.
Comingsoon.net has an exclusive photo of Sir Ben Kingsley as the villian in the movie.
I have yet to play any of the Prince of Persia video games, but I hear great reviews for this action video game series. Also, how can you go wrong with a Jerry Brucheimer produced action blockbuster movie? Newell did a good job on Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, which had action, drama and emotion.
What do you think? Is Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time on your movie watching list? Is this another epic movie for Disney?
Emily Osment Takes Over Radio Disney Friday August 14th
Tune in at 3pm PT / 6pm ET, when the Hannah Montana star talks about her music career.
Don’t miss the Radio Disney Planet Premiere of Emily’s “All The Way Up” afterwards at 4pm PT / 7 pm ET!
Listen to “All The Way Up” from Emily’s official YouTube Channel:
Emily Osment To Release Debut Album
The Hannah Montana star signs with Wind-Up Records for 2010 release date. She co-wrote all the songs for her first album.
“We have been closely following Emily’s music career, through music promoted in films and on television. After meeting her and listening to her demos, it was very clear that she is extremely passionate about her music, is a talented songwriter and has a certain edge to her vocals that will distinguish her from her contemporaries,” Edward Vetri, president of Wind-Up Records, said in a statement.
“I am so excited I am getting the chance to finally share my music with everyone,” Osment added. “I have been playing guitar and writing songs since I was little, so it seems like this album has been in process for years. The opportunities and amazing people I have been so fortunate to work with have literally been a dream come true. I can’t wait for all of my very patient fans to hear the music that’s been such a huge part of my life for the past two years.”
I’ve always loved Emily’s “BFF to Miley” performance on Hannah. But when I heard her remake of Once Upon A Dream from Sleeping Beauty and saw her video for the song, I was immediately captivated. She sounds good on this song. Her other musical offerings from this Disney star have promise. I’m eager to hear her own sound and what she feels compelled to write about.
Here’s Emily’s video for Once Upon A Dream:
