But I cared about the original film and its characters dearly, and helped nurture them to life as the fans know them. Anyone can buy anything and do to it what they will. The current announcement of a remake in fact attempts to delete my role from the original entirely. You were Writer/Director on the original!” But they don’t get in touch.

The Industry Big Names say “Don’t worry, whoever it is will get in touch with you. The bankruptcy group suddenly says a “mystery entity” outbid and walked away. I’m told to get ready to announce to the fans – we’re almost there! Industry Big Names became my allies, encouraging me to continue with the creative endeavor, helping to sort out the legal knot. Bankruptcy, Reorganized Debtor entities and cease & desist notes abound. So I work the sequel story, and sink into the familiar characters, mixed with new characters and layers of substance and silliness.Ī snag happens as it turns out people apparently holding the rights didn’t. The TRON stuff had turned John and lots of other folks onto the potential of CGI. Not because John Lasseter, a good friend, had hoped to do it in CGI, but because I was doing CGI long before all of that, as a Computer Graphics Choreographer on the original TRON. And, my dream was to do a live-action CGI mix. True to the spirit of the original, but comfortably nested in the present. Not a remake, but a proper sequel picking up right where the original left off. In 2009 I started developing a new story. Thankfully, Tom Wilhite suggested to that if anyone was going to revive it, they should turn to the Director of the original – the only one of the three that stood the test of time. Various Producers started seeing potential in doing something fresh with the property. It was an awesome surprise to hear from the college crowd, who liked BLT as kids, then rediscovered it in their teens. Several years ago, fans who had grown up with the film started getting in touch with me. Hi, I’m Jerry Rees, Director and Co-Writer of “The Brave Little Toaster”.
