Edward Kitsis

The broadcast date was February 9th, 2010.

It was written by Eddie and Adam, so Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz.

They are always pulling up with bangers, so we love that.

And directed by, like I said, Paul Edwards.

So Tron Legacy earned less than Disney had hoped for at the box office, but a sequel was still on their radar.

Later that year, franchise creator Steve Lisberger announced that it was happening with screenwriters Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz returning.

In April 2011, director Joseph Kaczynski stated that the script was still in development and that it would follow the characters of Sam Flynn and Korra in the real world.

In June, it was reported that screenwriter David DiGiglio was hired to work on the screenplay as Kitsits and Horowitz had moved on.

So first, I do wanna give a shout-out to a show that I have mentioned before as being deeply important to me, Once Upon a Time, where one of the main characters is a very different [laughs] type of adaptation of Captain Hook.

Because if you're not familiar with it, Once Upon a Time was a series from 2011 to 2018 by, created by, I should say, Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, that did air on the ABC network, which is important because with ABC being owned by Disney, they had access to the Disney versions of characters.

So their version of Beauty and the Beast, they could literally call the Beauty Belle.

Their adaptation of The Little Mermaid they could call the mermaid Ariel.

So, okay.

The first couple of seasons were actually pretty good, but this was the ABC TV show that was created by Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, who were writers on Lost.

So it has a somewhat similar Lost-like structure where there's like – a fairytale world, a real world, but there's like flashback, flash forward kind of situation where you're like, oh, the fairytale world is actually like the past and they're trying to get back and they're cursed.

Anyways, Robert Carlyle plays Rumpelstiltskin in Once Upon a Time.
