Olivia Wilde Says Tron 2.0 Will Be Revolutionary

Olivia Wilde thinks that you will be blown away by Disney’s Tron 2.0. And she would know, since she’s in the movie. But don’t ask her what the name of her character is, or any story information, because she’s not going to tell you. Sci-Fi Wire caught up with the actress, and was able to get her to spill some advance hype for the much anticipated sequel.

The film will be just as impressive for our time as it was in 1982 for the original. The technological advances have, of course, been enormous, and the effects that we have access to have been so revolutionary,” Wilde told SciFi. “And I think that it’s really going to please people that it’s going to be just as kind of huge and shocking and just as much of a new movie-watching experience as the first one was.”

I have a lot of faith in director Joseph Kosinski, as I’m a big fan of his commercial work (watch some of them here). But one of my concerns about the project is that it would be shot almost entirely on green screen stages. And we all know that green screen and computerized sets is like the new CG and the backlash has already begun with The Spirit. But Wilde assures us that they are building practice sets.

“They’re going to build a huge amount of the set. [Joseph Kosinski is] a really big fan of using as much sets as you can, because he’s an architect as well, so he likes to build these worlds. And with something like Tron, I think it helps to create the environment as much as possible without too much green screen so that these characters can exist within this world.”

But that’s all we’re getting for now. With a tentative release of 2011, we’re going to have a nice couple of years learning more information about this project.

  • I hope to god this movie is good.
  • Dr. Doc
    what the fuck does she know? what the hell has she ever done? House? show blows. she is hot and all, but the only movie of hers i know of is Bickford Shmickleys Cool Ideas. nuff said
  • I actually have a feeling that this movie will be good for some reason! Maybe im right maybe im horribly wrong, Hmm dont think this movie will be as revolutionising as Avatar
  • Palmer
    So are they going to replicate the original's effects using modern technology? Because I wouldn't mind that.
  • Isn't every big-budget film nowadays rumored to be revolutionary...?

    2011? I can wait.
  • "The film will be just as impressive for our time as it was in 1982 for the original."

    Something tells me she's exaggerating.
  • Sounds like she is hoping this will be her big break.
  • This is teh one I WANT to see in 3D
  • Bob
    Her character's name is "Pron"
  • now only if they could make the title less stupid. TR2N is okay, but what was the new one? TRZZZZYZZYXX

    yeah, pretty close.
  • I wouldnt mind being blown away by Olivia Wilde IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
  • Cpt. McCapslock
    O I MOST CERTAINLY DO
  • Its her job to tell everyone her movie can make rainbows shoot out her ass. Who in her position would say...."That movie I am in is going to blow Donkey Balls."

    Then again...I would probably watch that flick if she was involved.
  • I doubt it will be as revolutionary as the original; more likely these days it will come across as a regular (although possibly cool) cel-shaded affair that fans of the original will vigilantly decry no matter what.

    That being said, the graphic designer in me holds out hope that it's an explosive orgy of great motion graphics with bold use of colour, all warping and crunching into interesting shapes that are fighting to stab me in the eyes.

    Oh, and also the sad hetero male in me holds out hope that Olivia Wilde is frolicking around in a Yuri outfit. If that happens this film is nothing less than a BILLBOARD SIZED 'YES'.
  • peter how goood is the first movie ?
