The Star Of Disney’s TRON Sequel Is …

I am – Hercules!!
Garrett Hedlund ("Friday Night Lights," "Four Brothers," "Eragon") will play the lead role in “Tron,” the sequel to "Tron." (Shades of "Star Trek" and "Rambo"! Both the original and the sequel now have the same title!) He'll play a computer geek tracing the steps of Jeff Bridges' character from the first "Tron." He made his feature debut in "Troy," which is almost "Tron." Harry says I should start offering opinions when I post something about film, so here goes. This guy is plenty handsome but smoking will turn his lungs black! Find all of The Hollywood Reporter’s story on the matter here.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I wanted to jump in here and point out an off-hand factoid in the story... It seems to be saying that this movie will cost $150 million. Jeff Bridges' Flynn is in it and it'll cost $150 million... The Tron nerd in me (I have a framed Australian one-sheet for this movie on my bedroom wall) is freaking out about now. By all appearances Flynn might have slipped to the dark side in this one. Although I hear there might be more than meets the eye to that angle... No matter what, I'm excited. Bridges alone means my ass in a seat and I've heard there is some real excitement about this project at Disney, so hopefully we'll end up with a real and worthy follow-up to one of the best geek films in the last three decades.
