Oscar Winner Jeff Bridges" Tron Legacy"

Oscar winner Jeff Bridges will return as Kevin Flynn in the sequel  “Tron Legacy”. The original “Tron” made in 1982 was the first time Bridges worn the blue suit and rode his lightcycle in the film. TRON was also the first computer animated film that started it all, with it’s computer special effects, crude by today’s standards,

Can this classic be made into a sequel that can live up to or surpass the first TRON?

With all the new special effects available now, Disney will be using the same 3D cameras the James Cameron used for Avatar, let’s hope that the cool blue look doesn’t take over this film.

Many think that it’s best to leave will enough alone; most sequels never make it, to much riding on the past.

Tron Legacy Story Goes Like This:

Along with Kevin’s loyal confidant, father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.

Inside the ENCOM computer system, a program called CLU, created by Kevin Flynn during the original fight against the Master Control Program, has been causing chaos and destruction across the grid. Sam Flynn, son of former ENCOM CEO Kevin Flynn, is in search of his missing father, but Sean discovers that his father’s whereabouts are somehow connected to the program making a mess of the ENCOM system.

Tron Legacy is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that’s unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), looks into his fathers disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevins loyal confidant (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually- landscape.

Inside Bridge’s helmet we see him bathed in blue light with his trade marked, longhair and full beard again.

The baddest Dude in space or just another case of bad luck, someone is hunting him down, at lighting speed aboard his lightcycle turning down dark tunnels, weaving back and forth and finally over bridges.  The trailer has him racing and being chased, with light trails for the lightcycle, mix in the original sound effects which all goes hand and hand to jump-start this film.
