"TRON 2.0" goes WildeOK, TRON-heads, gather round. I have the best news for you since you learned that rumors of TRON 2.0 are true: Olivia Wilde, who played bisexual Thirteen on House and Alex Kelly on The O.C, has been cast as one of the female leads.
Producers are keeping a tight rein on TRON 2.0 plot details, but according to The Hollywood Reporter, “Wilde will play a worker in the virtual world who tries to help fight Master Control Program, the villainous intelligence protocol that was the nemesis in the original film.” Costumers, may I suggest a look?
Wilde’s costar in the forgettable (trust me) Turistas, Beau Garret, has also been cast. She will play “a siren in the virtual world.”
TRON 2.0, which will be shot entirely in 3-D, will start production next year for release in 2011. TRON was one of the first movies to use computer special effects and has become a cult classic among sci-fi geeks as a result. I’m looking forward to seeing how TRON 2.0 takes advantage of new technology while keeping the spirit of the original. Are you a TRON fan, or might you become one now that Olivia Wilde is involved?

i'm not a huge TRON
I watched turistas as well
I just want to see Olivia in 3D.
Sorry
I'll see anything Olivia's in...
My roommate emailed me about this yesterday. I've never heard of Tron (I was born the year it was released), but, as I told him, I'd go see anything Olivia Wilde's in.... :)
FYI - Olivia Wilde's character on The O.C. was also bisexual. She dated both Adam Brody's character Seth and Mischa Barton's character Marissa.

OK
No worries
it sucks. the way they
it sucks. the way they ended their relationship. i mean i don't get the reason behind it. they just put in ''lesbian storylines'' to get more ratings? :\ and we desperately watch it anyway! taking anything we could get... haha. it's depressing.
Oops.
*swoon*
i don't know anything about tron, but for olivia, i'll see it.
especially olivia in 3d *swoon*
same
Oops.

MAJOR Tron geek here
That movie made such an impression on my as a kid. To this day one of my all time favorite movies. I have been looking forwad to this sequal for quite some time as it has been in the works for YEARS.
They surprised everyone at Comic Con this year with a sneak preview of a light cycle sequance. While the video of the video is not fantastic you get the jist of what is going on..I could get into the whole..why are the bike so free flowing in the computer world where as before they were resticted to the game grid(?) argument that popped up after this was spread across the interwebs. I fear if I show that much of my inner geek, I may scare the children. As far as this movie goes..I, for one, CANNOT WAIT!
You can see the clip here

thanks gato
It made an impression on me too
...in my teens.
But I saw it again quite recently, and OMG, it doesn't hold up for me. The light cycle stuff is groovy, but the acting and plot - what plot? - are just dire.
But I think I'll check out the new movie, because that light cycle sequence looks groovy. As to geeky questions about the new action being more free-flowing, uh? We don't just play side scroller games like Moon Patrol these days. Computer imagery is now in 3D, on desktops even. I think it'd be odd if the virtual "world" was the same as the world that was around 20 years ago.
Mind you, I shouldn't be surprised at geek guys who want things exactly the same as the thing they first fell in love with.
I agree
about the computer "gaming grid" argument. As soon as everyone saw this piece form comic con they all started complaining about the cycles being so free flowing..but they also forgot that in the original film..they were the same way once they left the game grid...so when I pointed that out..they were alright with it.. and i have now exposed WAY too much of my geek.
As for the movie holding up.. i have to respecfully disagree with you. I think it does hold..the story holds and could easily have been adapted for the modern age. But I am glad they decided to make a sequal instead of a remake.

Nothing wrong with exposing one's inner geek
So true about it being internally consistent when the light cycles went off the grid in the original movie. That's good you won that particular argument.
I think part of my problem with the original is that I've really gone off Jeff Bridges. :-)
And yep, it's good it's a sequel rather than a remake. That would be wrong (not that it's stopped them in the past).
so wilde.
i'd watch anything involving olivia wilde. good lord, the woman is hot, and i find myself unable to tear myself away from the tv when she's onscreen. it's too bad she never guested on the l word; god she plays gay well.

I really have no idea what
This is one of the greatest
Costume suggestion:
I almost fell out of my chair. Why only gay for pay, Olivia Wilde, why?!
I'll be seeing "TRON 2.0".
This is starting to shape
This is starting to shape up into one of the best films ever! Yet again.

omg
I couldn't be happier XD

Tron was awesome.
Tron was awesome. introduced me to Bruce Boxleitner who then was the lead in my most fav tv series of all time - Babylon 5! that series also pushed what could be done with CGI and on a budget. woooooow.

She makes me feel so dirty, in all the right ways.
I love her even more from taking the pseudonym from Oscar Wilde.

I didn't know what TRON was...
...but I'm totally gonna see TRON 2.0 once I see the first version (I'd like to compare), then I'll be with a fever for a month after seeing Olivia Wilde in 3D, OMG.
cue melting... NOW. :d
cue melting... NOW.
:d
I'm not a TRON fan
wastewatch a 2hr movie with her in it.Eyes
Olivia Wilde and Lena Headey, match up?!
I swear, I am absolutely and positively smitten with this woman... just borderline, lunatically obsessed... I just adore her!
So I don't care.. TRON movie here I come. If I can watch Turistas... and Alpha Dog... and EVEN the music video of "Stolen" by Dashboard Confessional over and over again... I can take a technologically driven movie anyday... I can even see it with no sound! haha.
But really, people... I've decided the greatest pair up for a movie would be Lena Headey and Olivia Wilde together... maybe add a little of Erin Daniels in the mix. I would die a very very happy death!
My heart lives bicuriously through me.
<3 I'm wild.. at heart. Can you handle it?
Quick, someone hide the mountain oxen!
And we still need volunteers to keep Megan Fox occupied until after the movie is out of theaters. Who's up for it?

Thank you Gato for the trailer. I was so in love with tron, I can not see what has happened in the years that have passed. Plus the cast, oh dear more goodness.

Voulez-vous travailler avec moi ce soir?
In the minority. As usual.
But heck, I'm used to it.
I'm pretty indifferent about Olivia Wilde, probably because I don't care about the TV-shows she got famous with. But I always liked Tron. OK, the storyline is shallow, but hey, it's the same for at least 95% of the movies produced every year. But Tron's visual style was groundbreaking and is unique until this day. I'm curious to see how they will translate it into the new version.
What I would love to see even more would be a movie based on System Shock. Admittedly, most movies "based" on computer games have been bull so far. But Shodan is just a much more interesting AI than the good old MCP.
TRON was a little before my
TRON was a little before my time, but I'm DEFINITELY going to check out the remake if Olivia is in it. They could probably film her walking around in a potato sack and I'd pay $10.50 to see it in the theater, lol. That woman is magical!
oh i wish she could have
oh i wish she could have another make out scene with a girl!
she's so hot i can't get enough of her :P
