Joseph Kosinski makes his feature film directorial debut with Tron: Legacy, while the previous film director, Steven Lisberger, returns as a producer. Jeff Bridges reprises his role as Kevin Flynn, and Bruce Boxleitner his roles as Alan Bradley and Tron, while Garrett Hedlund portrays Flynn’s now-adult son, Sam. The other cast members include Olivia Wilde, Beau Garrett, Michael Sheen and John Hurt. According to the latest trailer, the film will be presented in IMAX 3D and RealD 3D.

TRON Legacy Plot

Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), a rebellious 27-year-old, is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his father Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), a man once known as the world’s leading video-game developer. When Sam investigates a strange signal sent from the abandoned Flynn’s Arcade—that could have only come from his father—he finds himself pulled into a world where Kevin has been trapped for 20 years. With the help of the fearless warrior Quorra (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-or-death journey across a visually-stunning digital universe—created by Kevin himself—which has become far more advanced with never-before-imagined vehicles, weapons, and landscapes and a ruthless villain who will stop at nothing to prevent their escape.

The original character of Yori does not appear in the sequel. According to online media Sci Fi Wire: “Fans have been lobbying for actress Cindy Morgan to be in the movie”. There are active campaigns online, such as “Yori Lives” on Facebook, which is independent of Morgan herself. “All I know is what I’m seeing online,” Morgan said. “I am so thrilled and touched and excited about the fan reaction and about people talking about the first one and how it relates to the second one. I can’t tell you how warm a feeling I get from that. It just means so much.” No one from Tron: Legacy had contacted Morgan, and she did not directly speak with anyone from the Joe Kosinski-directed sequel.

As Dr. Lora Baines, Cindy Morgan appeared with Bruce Boxleitner (as Alan Bradley) at the Encom Press Conference in San Francisco, April 2, 2010. It was revealed that Lora and Alan had married.

TRON Legacy Filming

Filming began in Vancouver, British Columbia in April 2009. Stage shooting for the film took place at the Canadian Motion Picture Park studio in south Burnaby. The entire film was filmed in 3D, as was the teaser.[20] Digital Domain is working on the visual effects.

In April 2009, pictures were leaked onto the Internet showing actors in blue skintight suits. The design of the suits is reminiscent of the outfits worn by the actors in the original film.

TRON Legacy Music

Electronic music duo Daft Punk will be composing the film score. At the time of the 2009 Comic-Con, it was revealed they have composed 24 tracks for the film. When Kosinski was asked why he decided to have Daft Punk do the film score, he replied, “How could you not at least go to those guys?” Olivia Wilde stated that the duo may be involved with future promotional events. The song “Separate Ways” by Journey will also be featured in the film.

This is the hottest news in the electronic music world. Indeed, since this week, the first 6 tracks of the original soundtrack of “Tron Legacy”, produced by Daft Punk, are online. After receiving an unknown email on Actualites Electroniques, I was directed to a Sound Cloud address with 6 extracts which apparently would be the first tracks of Daft Punk’s soundtrack album. After some researches on the net, it appears that I am not the only one who has received this kind of message. By combining different sources, it seems that it is officially Daft Punk’s tracks. What is more surprising is that these tracks are now also available on the official Tron webpage.
