  • The World of Tron Evolves

    TronWhen last we left the world of Tron, way back in 1982, Kevin Flynn (played by Jeff Bridges) had returned to the real world following the destruction of the MCP (Master Control Program) at the hands of Tron (Bruce Boxleitner), effectively freeing the denizens of the Tron world. End of story, right? Wrong.

    According to producer Sean Bailey, the Tron world has seen a lot of changes, even though the outside world and the inner, computer world are unaware of each other.

    ...what we did is took what happened in the '82 movie and we built a kind of mythology in our world and in their world. And, the servers in the Tron universe ... for reasons which will be explained in the movie, existed on their own; they are unaware of the outside world and the outside world is unaware of them. But, they weren't static. They kept evolving on their own ... so when we enter the world in 2010, that's where we find the world. It's evolved on its own, without direct user influence for a long, long time."

    So, what has Flynn been doing all of this time?

    Flynn, Kevin Flynn takes his experiences from the '82 movie and starts to try to build upon them, understand things now that he knows he can go in and out of the system. So, his early research was trying to figure out, "What more can I do?" and, "What more can I build now that I know I can actually go in and out of these worlds?"

    Bailey was tight-lipped about the titular character, however.

    You definitely learn what became of Tron and, so Tron is definitely involved in the narrative. But, uh, I don't want to [talk much more] about Tron or what's happened to him.

  • Tron Sequel Adds Supermodel and Title

    TronThe Tron sequel has gone by many names: Tr2n, Tron 2.0, but at ShoWest, Slashfilm reports that Disney presented a new logo with the brand new name of Tron. Yes, it's simple, classic, perhaps a touch similar to the original, but sometimes, you've got to go with what works, right Disney? (Psst, Disney, it's not that hard, just pick a new title and stick with it! Watch: Tron 2: Tron Harder. Done!)

    In more Tron news, and by that I mean the sequel and not the original, supermodel Serinda Swan has been added to its cast. Swan will be familiar to Smallville fans, having just played sorceress Zatanna in a recent episode. Swan, along with Beau Garrett and two other actresses, will play "temptresses from inside the computer world. We're sort of the main guy's go-to girls."

    Which "main guy" is unclear. Jeff Bridges? Bruce Boxleitner? Garrett Hedlund as Bridges' son? Pretty vague, Swan.


    Next Showing: Tron opens in 2011 (it also opened in 1982 as a different movie with the same name)

  • Tron Sequel Plot Leaked

    TronAintitCoolNews reported the plot details to the Tron sequel, which was titled Tr2n at one point and could be Tron 2.0 or some version of that in the future. According to the AICN source, reporting from Vancouver where the movie is being shot, the plot breaks down like this:

    The movie starts in 1989. Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) has created some of the world's top-selling games based on his Game Grid challenges in the first film. Flynn disappears, leaving behind his seven-year-old son Sean, and Alan Bradley (Bruce Boxleitner) takes over Flynn's company (ENCOM).

    Then the movie jumps ahead to the present:

    Sean is now twenty-something. Alan Bradley has info that leads Sean to look for his father in his old arcade -- mothballed. Into the computer world goes Sean. There's a CLU character (Flynn's computer alter-ego from the first film). Flynn has programmed CLU to run around and make a better computer world, but CLU's gone corrupt and is creating his own interpretation. CLU has it out for a kind of program (ISOs) and wants to eradicate them, while the ISOs believe Sean Flynn is the one who will free them from CLU's belligerence. Somewhere in the computer world, Bridges is whizzing around in a classic Light Cycle. Will he help in the battle against CLU?

    The source claims the sequel will feature Light Cycles and will be adding Light Jets, which also trail light walls, plus the sequel will feature a huge disc battle.

  • 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.
