As Dom was kind enough to report earlier, the acting line-up for TR0N 2/TRON 2.0/TR2N has started to fall into place with Olivia Wilde and Beau Garrett (both of whom co-starred in TURISTAS) joining returning cast member Jeff Bridges. TR2N is to be directed by fx-heavy commercial director Joseph Kosinski (whose only IMDB credit was once being attached to the LOGAN’S RUN remake) and the screenplay is being written by a couple of writer/producers from LOST.

Now comes news from Ain’t It Cool that the movie will be shot entirely in 3-D. What’s even more interesting is that with the latest technology the filmmakers will be able wear the glasses at the monitors as they shoot, allowing them to instantly see the results.

We’re also specifically told to expect a 3-D first person view from inside a light cycle, which should be pretty spectacular.

Don’t laugh. Back in the day these little
bastards were harder to kill off than Herpes.

Now I know TRON has developed a real cult following over the years but, truth be told, I remember seeing it as a kid and finding it to be dreadfully dull (or at least the first half of the film spent in the real world). However after hearing this latest news I can honestly say that dull storytelling and leaden pacing are no longer a concern to me. If anything’s gonna keep me awake it’s gonna be the felinesque Wilde magically purring in my lap. (BTW — Just to confirm I was speaking of Olivia Wilde and not Oscar Wilde).

In case you missed it, here’s the bootleg footage from Comic-Con:
