TRON is a 1980’s classic movie. The film, which starred Jeff Bridges, captured the imagination of a generation of film goers. In 2010 came follow-up film TRON: LEGACY, and starred Garret Hedlund as Sam Flynn, the son of Jeff Bridges’ character from the first film, Jeff Bridges and Olivia Wilde as warrior algorithm Quorra. Rumours have been circulating for a while that a third film is underway and recently it has seemed like this is much more of a possibility.
Whilst at Tribeca Film Festival Wilde gave an update on the status of the project and revealed that we will see more of her character, though this time in the real world…
“The delay has only ever been story, finding the right story. It hasn’t been anything else. There’s never been a time where we wanted to go and then schedules got in the way. It’s only been like, ‘That’s not the right story.’ So, in the past year, the right story kind of came together and we felt, ‘Oh, this actually – this might be the right one to tell.’ And, you know, there’s still a lot to be done before it could actually happen, but the fact that there’s a goal of this year to start is really exciting.”
“I love this character of Quorra so much and I’ve built her with Joe Kosinski and we took her such a long way from what was written to what we made. I mean, I fought for her to be this kind of androgynous child and that’s so not what you typically see in these movies, so I’m so grateful that the producers let me play with her and make her this strange little being. And I’m really excited to see what happens to that character when put into the real world. I think it’s an interesting concept. I’m fascinated by all discussions of AI, and especially now today and now with virtual reality becoming something that’s like a personal device, I think it’s the time to tell this story.”
Disney have yet to confirm the project but I think it’s safe to say TRON 3 is on it’s way people.
