First Look: Jeff Bridges Returns in TRON Legacy


Nearly three decades after finding himself trapped within a computer world, returns to do it all over again.

In 2010, Disney will present TRON Legacy, a follow-up to the 1982 sci-fi adventure. (You can see the classic trailer after the jump.) The sequel will feature Sean Flynn (actor Garrett Hedlund), the son of Bridge’s programmer character (Kevin Flynn). Years after his father goes missing, Sean enters the virtual reality world in a search for his dad.

According to producer Sean Bailey, those unacquainted with the first film should be able to enjoy the stand-alone story. “You don’t have to know the ’82 movie to come in and appreciate and enjoy this one,” Bailey recently told MTV. “That said, we accept what happened in the ’82 movie happened in ’82. Our movie is set in 2010. We built a mythology that spans the intervening 28 years of, ‘Here’s what we think happened with Kevin Flynn and with [nefarious software corporation] ENCOM and all those principle characters. Here’s what we think happened inside the Tron universe and in the real world.”

TRON vet Bruce Boxleitner will also figure into the sequel as will House star Olivia Wilde.
