The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that “House M.D.” co-star Olivia Wilde and Turistas actress Beau Garrett will star in the clandestine operation known as Tron 2.0, the sequel to the 1982 Disney cult classic being directed by Joseph Kosinski.
At Comic Con earlier this year some footage for the new film appeared out of nowhere featuring Jeff Bridges as Kevin Flynn, the character from the first film who battled against the Master Control Program once he was trapped inside of it. However, outside of the preview footage nothing more has been shown and that footage hasn’t even made it online outside of bootleg format. No synopsis is known, but with the announcement of Wilde and Garrett’s casting we get a tidbit of new info.
The new movie is acting as a “next chapter.” Plot details are being guarded closely, but Wilde will play a worker in the virtual world who tries to help fight Master Control Program, the villainous intelligence protocol that was the nemesis in the original film.
Garrett will play a siren in the virtual world.
Although Bridges is involved, a lead male actor has not been cast, but the studio and filmmakers are screen-testing actors as it brings on other leads and supporting players.
Tron 2.0 is eyeing a spring shoot and is expected to hit theaters in 2010.
