Upcoming movie Tron has been called the most expensive in film history.
The sequel to the 1982 film about a hacker abducted and trapped in a virtual world has a $300 million price tag, according to The Vancouver Sun.
The original film featured state-of-the-art special effects for its time period and the follow-up is rumoured to be taking a similar route.
"Vancouver post-production units are salivating at the prospects presented by the Disney remake of Tron, which carries a whopping $300 million budget and opportunities aplenty for effects and digital polish," a source said.
Tron?s budget surpasses that of James Cameron?s upcoming Avatar, which is reportedly at $200 million, and would tie with Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World?s End.
Tron, due out in 2011, sees Jeff Bridges reprise his role from the first film.
