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<\/strong> the last 24 hours, with two different stories breaking on the project.<\/p>\n

Following the unveiling of a teaser trailer this past summer at the San Diego ComicsCon for the project, news about the followup to 1982’s groundbreaking film Tron has been scarce. But now, in an interview that ran last week\u00a0which everyone seems to have just discovered, Tron<\/strong> star Jeff Bridges told London’s The Guardian<\/em> <\/a>of his hopes for the upcoming project-<\/p>\n

[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… When we made 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 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 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 Tron<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, AintItCoolNews<\/a>‘ Beaks had an encounter with Tr2n<\/strong>‘s director Joseph Kosinski this weekend, who passed on a few details about the film. To bullet point them-<\/p>\n
