Bruce Boxleitner, who played Alan Bradley and the title character in Walt Disney Pictures' 1982 film Tron, is currently filming a role for the studio's upcoming Tron 2.0. He joins fellow original cast member Jeff Bridges and newcomers Olivia Wilde and Beau Garrett in the anticipated action-adventure.

In the original, hacker/arcade owner Kevin Flynn (Bridges) is digitally broken down into a data stream by a villainous software pirate known as the Master Control Program (MCP) and reconstituted into the internal, 3-D graphical world of computers. It is there, in the ultimate blazingly colorful, geometrically intense landscapes of cyberspace, that Flynn joins forces with Tron (Boxleitner) to outmaneuver the MCP that holds them captive in the equivalent of a gigantic, infinitely challenging computer game.

Though plot details are being kept under wraps, it is know that the new movie will act as the "next chapter." Wilde will play a worker in the virtual world who tries to help fight Master Control Program, while Garrett will play a siren in the virtual world.

Awesome news. Bruce is an underrated actor, and his addition will only help this new flick give the audience a connection to the original.

I can Imagine Tron being like Old Snake: "the grid...has changed, it's no longer about pride, power, or fun. it's people make programs useless programs for their entertainment.....The grid and the deletion of data has become a well oiled machine.....The grid has changed, ID-Programs carry ID-Code and Use ID-Gear, small regulated programs control their bodies, enhance their functions,regulate their output, code control, information control, memory control,game control...Everything is monitored and regulated by the Users..The grid has changed, the age of the internet has become the age of control....All in the name of protecting privacy and security and he who controls the internet, controls history...The grid has changed, when some one has control of the programs, everything becomes routine"

Very cool. This could be one of the best sequels ever if they keep doing things right.
