News > Jeff Bridges talks TR2N (Tron 2)


We've waited literally decades, and now it's finally coming true: TR2N (Tron 2) is coming in 2010.

Jeff Bridges talked about why he signed up for the new iteration of TRON.

Yeah, that's another unique, wild experience that was too good to turn down. Engaging in that world again feels just like it did all that time ago. 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. Doing the teaser trailer for Comic-Con, I had my first experience of motion capture. And that's turning the industry on its head. It's amazing being part of that.

Updating the world of TRON will also be a unique task, but one that will be interesting, according to Bridges.

Well, when we made Tron there was no internet, no cellphones. But now we have motion capture, so I think we'll get a far more successful version of the story, which is someone literally getting sucked into a video game. When we did King Kong in the 70s, one minute you'd have a shot of Rick Baker in this big suit and then you'd cut to this 80ft stiff model, and they looked nothing alike. Compare to that Peter Jackson's King Kong the technology is there and they did a wonderful job. I thought they created a beautiful Kong. So I hope that'll be the same for Tron.

Not only should everyone who grew up in the era of TRON be excited, but newbies to the world of TRON should be flocking to the theaters in 2010 as this promises to be a phenomenal experience.
