Jeff Bridges pimps ‘Tron Legacy’

Jeff Bridges is coming back to “Tron” and this time it’s going to be sweet, sweet for the eyes, that is.

The actor is starring in “Tron Legacy,” the sequel to the 1980s cult classic. Bridges says fans won’t be disappointed by the special effects.

“It’s advanced. It’s more advanced, you know? Back in those days we had no personal computers, no internet. And of course today we have all that. It was cutting edge back in those days, and this new ‘Tron’ is going to be cutting edge for today,” said Bridges.

“There’s a lot more eye candy than the first one, it’s going to be just wonderful to see all of these effects and everything. ”

Despite the techno-friendly theme, Bridges doesn’t think the film overuses computer-generated imagery or other digital effects.

“Funnier enough, we have a lot more practical sets in this version. There is a lot of blue screen and that sort of thing, but there’s also practical sets. The idea is to the audience be able to tell which is CGI and which is the real set,” he said.

“I think Joe Kosinski the director did a wonderful job of building actual practical sets and then using live action. There’s a lot of wonderful athletes that were involved in our movie doing these great stunts. It’s not just a cartoon person doing it, it’s real people and that gives it a different kind of quality than other 3-D, CGI movies.”
