While normal-faced Bridges eventually pops up, CLU remains front and center in Tron: Legacy , continually confronting the audience with his uncanny appearance, often framed looking directly to the camera, a creepy reminder of his nature as a program wearing a human suit.
Only Quora Olivia Wilde remains. As a program attempting to destroy his creator and likeness, CLU is a rather curious character to be realized with VFX that could, in theory, replace actors. While apologizing to CLU, Flynn tells him that the kind of perfection he seeks is unknowable, and that the spontaneity and strangeness of the real can never be truly replicated by a system. At the time, de-aging still represented a possible future in film.
Today, its main purpose is to allow filmmakers to dig up the past without completely changing it, as the act of re-casting or retconning is apparently a far greater sin than an eerie digital makeover. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. But, while it looks marginally less spooky, it lacks the intent behind Legacy. As a more precise visual recreation of Bridges, CLU feels more like a puppet than the angry, incomplete machine of the original plus, it also somehow emotes even less.
The lack of fidelity becomes necessary to the distinction between Flynn and CLU, and solidifies it as one of the most fascinating uses of the tech to date.

In the late s, there were speculation that Disney would make a sequel film, due to the original film's big cult following. The footage began with an update of the light cycle duel from TRON , pitting a blue program against a yellow one with the two racing through a futuristic landscape. While in pursuit, the blue program manages to evade the mysterious yellow program.
However, the yellow program took a shortcut and drove in front of the blue racer, making him crash into the yellow driver's Light Ribbon. The blue program flew off his cycle and into the air before landing on the road and almost falling into an abyss, where the road ends.
Meanwhile, the duel is being observed from a high, cliff-side structure by a human figure wearing regular clothing — an older, bearded Kevin Flynn played again by Jeff Bridges. The yellow program pulls his light cycle over and climbs off, grabbing his identity disc, which now appears as a glowing ring. As the unknown yellow rider approaches the blue program, the defeated racer yells out to his opponent, "You won, okay?
It's just a game! Clu's replies to the program, "Not anymore The footage ended with a '2' appearing in the traditional TRON font and the title, TR2N, emerging around it, then fading away to leave the number.
Joseph Kosinski directed the promo and is currently directing the film. Kosinski previously directed commercials for Gears of War, Halo 3, Apple Computers and others, and was noted for his skill at blending photo-realistic CGI with real actors and scenery. Lost writers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz are slated to write the film. Originally, the test trailer did not prove that a TRON sequel was in production, but it showed that Disney was serious about a sequel.
Some speculated that the trailer was not only to see how the public will react to the trailer, but to show the executives at Disney what a TRON sequel will look like. Producer Sean Bailey later said in an interview that if the trailer did not have a good reaction, the movie would have never been made. On September 24, , Disney showcased its upcoming films in a day-long presentation for Disney partners and the media at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood, CA. One of the many films showcased was TR2N , in which the same trailer from Comic-Con was shown to the crowd.
According to AICN:. On July 21, , several movie-related websites posted they had received via mail a pair of "Flynn's Arcade" golden coins along with a flash drive. Its content was an animated gif image that showed css code lines. Four of them were put together and part of the code was cracked, revealing the url to Flynnlives.
Clicking on a tiny spider in the lower section of the main page leads to a countdown clock that hits zero on Thursday, July 22, pm. Within the Terms of Use Section, an address was found. Joseph Kosinski's "Tron: Legacy" steps nimbly over such obstacles and hits the ground running, in a 3-D sound-and light show that plays to the eyes and ears more than the mind.
Among its real-world technology is a performance by Jeff Bridges as Kevin Flynn at two different ages — now, and 20 years ago. The original " Tron " was made 28 years ago, but that would have made young Sam Flynn, his son, nearly 30, which is too old for the hero in a story of this sort. The ideal age would be around In a flashback, we see Kevin, lord of a mighty software corporation, taking leave of his son as a child.
At first, you think Jeff Bridges looks younger in this scene because of makeup or Botox or something, and then you realize this is Bridges' body and voice but his face has been rendered younger by special effects. They're uncanny. The use of profiles and backlighting makes the illusion adequate for this purpose. The real Bridges turns up later inside the program, whiskery and weathered, but the CGI version of younger Jeff sticks around to play Clu, a digital doppelganger he created, who now desires you know this is coming to control the world.
Kevin and Sam reconcile and bond. They join other cyberspace allies, notably including the beguiling Quorra Olivia Wilde , who cyber-Kevin has apparently been fathering instead of poor orphaned Sam. Does this symbolize the ways video games can destroy real-life relationships? Just asking.
I'm thinking of Quorra and Sam as a possible romantic couple, but there's the pesky problem that she is virtual, and he bleeds when he's cut — I think, although maybe not inside the program. This brings us back to a central question about " Avatar ": What or who, precisely, was Neytiri falling in love with? I'm giving this more attention than the movie does, which is just as well.
Isaac Asimov would have attempted some kind of scientific speculation on how this might all be possible, but "Tron" is more action-oriented. The first "Tron" felt revolutionary at the time.
