Michael Sheen’s previously rumored role in “Tron Legacy” has now been confirmed by Disney’s own Twitter page.
Sheen had teased fans about the role via his own twitter page noting that he was set to play an antagonist in a film that was “in fact not a person at all.” Further questioning and answering between fans and Sheen eventually deducted that it was the “Tron” sequel but, until today, no official word had been put out.
“Tron Legacy” will center on Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), as he looks into his father’s 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 Kevin’s loyal confidant (Olivia Wilde), 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.
Meanwhile, the most exciting thing to come from the sequel, a reported 24 track score from French electronic-duo Daft Punk, had it’s first unveiling during Comic-Con but now here’s a taste of the “Tron Legacy” theme song via a reworking by fellow French artist Cryda Luv. [LatinoReview]
