When I got to visit the set of Tron: Legacy last year when the production was shooting in Vancouver, one of the people that led us around and gave us valuable information was producer Sean Bailey.

How things have changed.

That's because since wrapping on Tron: Legacy, Bailey was promoted to President of Production at Walt Disney! The title means he's one of the key people at Disney that gets to decide what movies get made.  Needless to say, when I found out I was getting the opportunity to interview him at Comic-Con in the End of Line Club, I did my homework.  After all, how often do you get the chance to speak with the head of a studio.  So after the jump you can watch Bailey talk about Tron: Legacy, how Pixar helped on the movie, what are Disney's future plans, we talk 3D and post conversion, what 3D cameras are being used on Pirates of the Caribbean: On The Stranger Tides,  will Disney land Joseph Kosinski's Oblivion, does the studio have special plans for the Tron: Legacy Blu-ray, any chance the original Tron could get a 3D makeover or future re-release, and a lot more. It's a great and very informative interview, check it out:
