But now, in an interview that ran last week\u00a0which everyone seems to have just discovered, <strong>Tron<\/strong> star Jeff Bridges told London&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/film\/2008\/sep\/27\/1\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Guardian<\/em> <\/a>of his hopes for the upcoming project-<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>[<strong>TRON 2<\/strong> is] 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\u2019m 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\u2019s turning the industry on its head. It\u2019s amazing being part of that&#8230; When we made <strong>Tron<\/strong> there was no internet, no cellphones. But now we have motion capture, so I think we\u2019ll get a far more successful version of the story, which is someone literally getting sucked into a video game. When we did <strong>King Kong<\/strong> in the 70s, one minute you\u2019d have a shot of Rick Baker in this big suit and then you\u2019d cut to this 80ft stiff model, and they looked nothing alike. Compare to that Peter Jackson\u2019s <strong>King Kong<\/strong> the technology is there and they did a wonderful job. I thought they created a beautiful Kong. So I hope that\u2019ll be the same for <strong>Tron<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aintitcool.com\/node\/38640\" target=\"_blank\">AintItCoolNews<\/a>&#8216; Beaks had an encounter with <strong>Tr2n<\/strong>&#8216;s director Joseph Kosinski this weekend, who passed on a few details about the film. To bullet point them-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The ComicCon teaser was shot in stereoscopic 3D as will the film be.<\/li>\n<li>Tron&#8217;s writer\/director creator Steven Lisberger is involved with the film on a consultancy level.<\/li>\n<li>Michael Wilkinson, fresh off of Watchmen, is officially joining the production this week as costume designer.<\/li>\n<li>Shooting the film will be a &#8220;twenty-four month process&#8221; and Kosinski hopes to have the end result in theaters by the end of 2010.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Well, if Kosinski plans on the film to take a solid two years to make but wants to get it in theaters by the end of 2010, production better ramp up to high gear relatively soon. I&#8217;m intrigued to see what they have in mind in this revisit to the world inside our computers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">For a sequel to a 26-year old film that is still technically in development, there certainly was a brief flurry of activity surrounding Tr2n the last 24 hours, with two different stories breaking on the <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2008\/10\/06\/tr2n-news-roundup\/\" title=\"TR2N News Roundup\">[click for more]<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[778,22,777,776,24,775,774,773],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1228","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-news","7":"tag-cult-classics","8":"tag-in-development","9":"tag-jeff-bridges","10":"tag-joseph-kosinski","11":"tag-sequel","12":"tag-steven-lisberger","13":"tag-tr2n","14":"tag-tron"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[2],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1228","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1228"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1228\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1228"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1228"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1228"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=1228"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
