Disney has set a December 17, 2010 release date for Tron Legacy, putting it in direct competition with Sony's The Green Hornet.

The Seth Rogen superhero movie, which is currently in production, was pushed from a summer 2010 slot this week by the studio.

Sony's 3D Smurfs movie is also scheduled to open on the same day, although the studio is likely to shift the date to avoid competition with its own Green Hornet and Warner Bros animation Yogi Bear, reports Variety.

Tron Legacy, a continuation of Disney's visual effects-pioneering 1982 film, will see original star Jeff Bridges joined by Garrett Hedlund, Michael Sheen and Olivia Wilde.
