Actor
Jeff Bridges has always been a big part of the sci-fi genre, from classic 80's roles in
Starman and
Tron, to his recent appearance as Obadiah Stane/Iron Monger in
Iron Man, so it's no surprise that he is back on board a light cycle for another go-around as Kevin Flynn in
Tron: Legacy.
When asked if the SFX in
Tron: Legacy was going to captivate audiences in the same way that
Tron did back in the 80's, Bridges said:
"Absolutely! That’s the reason why I came on board for the sequel – for the same reasons I did the first one. Just to be a part of the groundbreaking technology."
"It’s really mind-blowing what they do. I went to Comic-Con this year and Disney had three movies there: Tron [Legacy], A Christmas Carol and Alice In Wonderland.
"And it was interesting to see that while the techniques we used in Tron are available to other guys…Well, it’s amazing to see how different the products are, depending on the artist who is at the helm."
