  • Olivia Wilde Discusses Fix and Tron: Legacy

    Olivia WildeActress Olivia Wilde has been padding her resume with a wide variety of projects lately, from the popular TV drama House to the horror film Turistas to the slapstick period comedy Year One. Not only are her projects disparate in genre and tone, but in production size. Wilde's latest film, Fix, in which she co-stars with her real-life husband, actor-director Tao Ruspoli, was shot in only 18 days using a single camera. In contrast, Wilde recently acted alongside Jeff Bridges in Disney's upcoming Tron: Legacy, a movie that required several camera units, not to mention untold hours of computer graphics work.

    In a recent interview with Moviefone, Wilde discussed working on a movie as close to home as Fix, which was inspired by an actual day in the lives of her husband and his brother, a heroin addict.

    It was the closest I've ever been to material because I knew the day it was based on and knew the person so well, but I feel that we responsibly represented that real day and that real person. It has been really interesting to go around the world and have these audiences respond so much to the idea of addiction within the family and trying to force someone you love to do something that they may not want to do. It's a universal theme, even though it was a very personal story.

    TronUnfortunately, while Wilde did discuss performing stunts and wearing "rubber suits" in Tron: Legacy in a prior interview, she did not offer much additional insight into the highly-anticipated sequel.

    [Tron: Legacy was] amazing. Very different from Fix! There's such a cone of silence around Tron, but it'll be fun to watch. That was also an amazing honor, to be able to carry on a legacy like Tron. I don't think diehard fans will be disappointed. I think they will be very happy with what we did. There's a real story. It's going to look cool, but that's not all [there is to it].

  • Olivia Wilde Discusses The Difficulty of Making Tron: Legacy

    With the shooting of Tron: Legacy behind her, Olivia Wilde told ComingSoon that making the sequel to 1982's Tron was about as difficult as giving "birth to a 19-pound baby."

    It was, like, the most difficult thing I've ever done. We shot some 20-hour days, we were wearing the suits, which are not easy to wear. I was doing a lot of my own stunts and training a lot of the time. Really pushing myself physically as well as mentally. It was an epic undertaking. It was a HUGE film to shoot in those few days. I was so proud to be a part of it. The morning that we wrapped it was an unbelievable feeling. We all just lost it. It was sunrise and we couldn't believe we were actually done.

    You know, no matter how many people tell you it's going to be the hardest thing you've ever done you still aren't aware, or capable of being of aware, of what goes into one of those movies. Now I have so much more empathy and respect for the people who've done it before me ... and after. I don't write-off large sci-fi films so flippantly as I did. I look at anyone who's had to put on a rubber suit and I'm, like, "Oh wow, you're awesome! You survived!" (laughs) None of the suits are like our suits, though. Our suits have really risen to a new level of discomfort, but it's brilliant and well worth it. It's totally worth it.

    So worth it that Wilde says she would welcome a return for Tron 3, should it happen.

    Oh, of course! If we were so lucky that would be incredible. There are so many more stories to tell within that world.

    Tron: Legacy stars Wilde, along with Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund, Bruce Boxleitner, John Hurt, and Michael Sheen. Joseph Kosinski directs. Legacy opens December 17, 2010 in both IMAX 3-D and conventional theaters.

  • Disney Officially Discloses Tron Sequel Plot

    TronDisney finally released the official synopsis for the Tron sequel and it's... exactly what it was speculated to be months ago. Here's the studio's summary, in all its official-ness:

    Tron (title not final) (In Disney Digital 3D™)

    Tron is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that's unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), looks into his father's disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin's loyal confidant (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.

    To summarize, the original Tron is about a computer programmer getting sucked into a video game to fight the Master Control Program and the sequel will be about that computer programmer's son getting sucked into the same video game to fight the Master Control Program. Hmm. Feels like a theme is emerging.

    With the synopsis out of the way, hopefully Disney will officially name the sequel, which has gone through multiple preliminary titles so far, from Tr2n to Tron 2.0 to the highly original Tron. Perhaps Disney will reveal it later this month at their San Diego Comic-Con Tron presentation.

    Buzz on the sequel has been very good so far. An early script review called the movie "filled with problems and potential." Hopefully director Joseph Kosinski can fix those problems and maximum the potential by its 2011 release.

  • Olivia Wilde talks Tron 2.0

    Olivia WildeCameras have yet to roll on Tron 2.0, and won't until March, but doesn't mean Olivia Wilde (TV's House) can't start giving away a few spoilers about the sequel. First, Wilde confirmed Bruce Boxleitner's association. "He's so fantastic, Bruce," she told SCI FI Wire, "He's been telling us all about the process of making the first one."

    As far as the technical side goes, a lot of advancements have been made in movie making since 1982. Several new technologies will be used, including the face replacement technology used in Benjamin Button, but Wilde says Tron 2.0 will not be some greenscreen movie created on computers. Director Joseph Kosinski is "a really big fan of using as much sets as you can, because he's an architect as well, so he likes to build these worlds. And with something like Tron, I think it helps to create the environment as much as possible without too much green screen so that these characters can exist within this world, ... with the feel ... as real as possible."

    Wilde didn't give away everything. When it comes to whether she will ride a light cycle, she won't say. "I'm afraid I'd be murdered before I left the building [if I told you]."

  • Tron Sequel Casting News

    TronFor those of you asking: "They're making a sequel to Tron?" The answer is "yes." The clunky title of Tr2n was revealed at a Comic-Con in August 2008, when a teaser trailer debuted. Olivia Wilde (TV's House) and Beau Garrett (Turistas) have been added to a cast that includes Jeff Bridges returning to fight the Master Control program (What, Bruce Boxleitner is busy?). In fact, Bridges is not just returning, he's excited. He told the Guardian: "Basically, I'm still a child, I love being childlike, and here was another chance to play with these crazy toys. And the cutting-edge technology makes it exciting."

    Tr2n will be shot in 3-D and is set to open sometime in 2011. It will be directed by newcomer Joseph Kosinski and written by Lost producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis.
