Jeff Bridges Spills Some Beans All Over Tron: Legacy

Sci-Fi Wire recently caught up with Tron: Legacy star Jeff Bridges and fortunately for us bloggers he was in full canary-mode.

First up he explained how he found playing two versions of Flynn (old version and younger version) to be challenging.

“It was challenging, in that I got a little taste of this new technology of acting what they call ‘in the volume’ and making movies without cameras, it’s a completely different deal. That was kind of a challenge.”

And then, after taking a sip of his White Russian, he casually moved the conversation to the technology that the movie uses…

“All that technology that we were going to use in the movie itself is used in the trailer, it wasn’t as highly polished as the movie is going to be, but it gives you a little peek into what you might find. That teaser was something they do kind of often with movies, and I think it’s a good idea. The Coen brothers told me they did it with making Blood Simple. Before they even shoot the movie at all, they shoot the trailer of the movie, as if it was already made, and then they use that to entice the financiers. So, even though it was a Disney property, Disney wanted them to shoot this pretty expensive trailer. I don’t know how much it cost, but it was pretty expensive.”
