Greetings, Program! Tron 2 synopsis

After the script review that made the Tron sequel seem rather lacklustre, Disney have now released a synopsis of the new film that sounds rather cool.

TRON is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that’s unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), looks into his father’s disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin’s loyal confidant (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.

I can't wait to see this. Not sure if the name of the new film will be Tron 2, Tr2n or TRON. What do you think of the plot synopsis?

Daft Punk to make Tron 2.0 Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

French electronica duo Daft Punk has been signed to write the original music score for Tron 2.0, Walt Disney's upcoming sequel to the groundbreaking 1982 animation cult hit which was scored by electronic music icon Wendy Carlos. Daft Punk's members Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter have been involved in various films before, but Tron 2.0 will be their first complete feature film score. The film is helmed by Joseph Kosinski and will feature Jeff Bridges, Bruce Boxleitner Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde and Beau Garrett. According to industry news reports, Tron 2.0 will play as the "next chapter" after the first film, with Wilde starring as one of the heroes trying to help fighting the Master Control Program, the evil intelligence protocol that was the nemesis in the 1982 film. The assignment of Daft Punk to score Tron 2.0 has been confirmed to Upcoming Film Scores by Walt Disney Pictures.

Is Daft Punk a good choice for the Tron 2 soundtrack?

Garrett Hedlund is the lead in Tron 2. Olivia Wilde talks about the sets

Disney has announced the lead star for their upcoming Tron sequel. Garrett Hedlund (Friday Night Lights, Eragon, Georgia Rule, and Death Sentence). Plus everyone seems to be calling it Tron 2.0 so not sure if the Tr2n name has gone.

Disney is keeping a tight grasp on the film’s story details and won’t even reveal the name of Garrett’s character. All that is known is that Hedlund plays a man who is sucked into the computer program and finds himself “retracing the steps of a character from the original movie named Kevin Flynn”, who was played by Jeff Bridges. Bridges has signed on to return for the sequel, as has Bruce Boxleitner. I'm still waiting for an official trailer to be released instead of the footage that was caught at the Comic Con last year.

Sci-Fi Wire caught up with Olivia Wilde and asked her about the sequel.

“The film will be just as impressive for our time as it was in 1982 for the original. The technological advances have, of course, been enormous, and the effects that we have access to have been so revolutionary,” Wilde told SciFi. “And I think that it’s really going to please people that it’s going to be just as kind of huge and shocking and just as much of a new movie-watching experience as the first one was."

Plus director Joseph Kosinski is going to be using sets as well as CGI which should make it even better.

“They’re going to build a huge amount of the set. [Joseph Kosinski is] a really big fan of using as much sets as you can, because he’s an architect as well, so he likes to build these worlds. And with something like Tron, I think it helps to create the environment as much as possible without too much green screen so that these characters can exist within this world.”
