Tron Legacy: Everything We Know

It's All About Family

Plotwise, this is what we know so far…the film will be set around 30 years or so after the original Tron , and focuses on Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), the son of Jeff Bridges’ character Kevin.

Naturally, it’s not long before he’s pulled into the Tron universe, where things have turned distinctly sour since the last time we were here… Excited much? Us too…

It Will Be Shot In 3D

Although apparently, it won’t be anything like another 3D film you might have heard of.

Five Scenes Will Be Shot For IMAX

Not satisfied with shooting in three glorious dimensions, Kosinski has revealed that five of the film’s action sequences will be filmed with IMAX cameras, a la The Dark Knight .

The Tron World Looks Incredible!

The teaser trailer released for last year’s Comic Con may have whetted the appetite, but to be honest, we weren’t that thrilled by the look of the Tron universe.

It's Got A Script From The Writers Behind Lost

If anyone was worried that this would just be a dumb, special-effects led blockbuster, the presence of Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis on writing duties should convince them otherwise.

The Teaser Campaign Will Take Some Beating

If the film is half as good as the marketing campaign, we’ll be in for a treat.

The Soundtrack Will Be Ace

In a bit of casting as inspired as anything that will end up on-screen, robot-fancying electro pioneers Daft Punk have been roped in to do the soundtrack.

Bridges Is Back...

And not only playing one character, but two. Well, sort of.

...And He's Come Over All Benjamin Button

The Clu 2.0 avatar that Flynn inhabits in the Tron universe looks like Jeff Bridges…only younger. About 30 years younger!

Jeff Isn't The Only Old Face To Return

Who’s that old buffer yakking on to Garrett Headlund at the beginning of the trailer? Hang on a minute, it’s Bruce Boxleitner!

Girls, Girls, Girls!

The eye-candy won’t only come in the form of those flashy new light-cycles.

Michael Sheen Is In It

It might be a CGI-driven juggernaut of a movie, but there’s still room for a good old-fashioned character actor.

There May Be More Sequels

Depending on the success of Legacy , we may well have a fully blown franchise on our hands.
