Looks like Beau Garrett and Olivia Wilde are the first two to put their quarters into the machine and press start. The pair of beauties have signed on for Tron 2.
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. Garrett (“Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer”) will play a siren in the virtual world.
Interestingly enough, the TR2N name or TRZ as rumoured were not mentioned and Yahoo chose to refer to it as Tron 2.0 (which is also the name of the videogame adaptation).
The appealing Olivia Wilde and Beau Garrett would both look great in the standard black light accented bodysuit, but I am uncertain as to what a “Siren” might be inside the computer, so Beau might not get the standard worker uniform.
For me, Tron holds a special place in my childhood and though clearly dated by technology, if they stay close to the original minimalist style but update the tech we could be in for a treat.
