Jeff Bridges Interview: The Guardian (UK paper)

on Saturday, September, 27, 2008 3:31 PM
There's an interview with Jeff Bridges in 'guide', a supplement of The Guardian newspaper today. Here are the bits in which he talks about Tron 2:

"Ah the G-string. You've got to love it. I'm wearing one now!" Jeff Bridges is sitting in the sunny surroundings of one of Santa Monica's beachfront hotels, and, if he is wearing a G-string, it's hidden beneath his blue jeans. Our conversation has turned to skimpy sartorial objects courtesy of Bridges's decision to star in the new Tron movie; as fans of the original 1982 film will recall, back then he wore something that resembled a neon "mankini".
"I'm not sure I'll be wearing that again!" he laughs. "Seriously though, doing the new Tron movie is something that is just too good to pass up."

(While talking about how he only signs on to movies if he finds them really interesting)

Is that why you signed up for the new Tron movie?Yeah, that's another unique, wild experience that was too good to turn down. Engaging in that world again feels like it did all that time ago. Basically, I'm still a child, I love being childlike, and here was another chance to play with these crazy toys. And the cutting-edge technology makes it exciting. Doing the teaser trailer for Comic-Con, I had my first experience of motion capture. And that's turning the industry on its head. It's amazing being part of that.

There's such a retro love for Tron. How do you bring it up to date?Well, when we made Tron there was no internet, no cellphones. But now we have motion capture, so I think we'll get a far more successful version of the story, which is someone literally getting sucked into a video game. When we did King Kong in the 70s, one minute you have this shot of Rick Baker in this big suit, and then you'd cut to this 80ft stiff model, and they looked nothing alike. Compare that to Peter Jackson's King Kong - the technology is there and they did a wonderful job. I thought they created a beautiful Kong. So I hope that'll be the same for Tron.

interesting.
i think Mr. Bridges may have been portraying both characters in the test footage.
i think i read that someone that saw the footage at Comic-Con said that the blue rider had a beard (like Flynn does). both riders sound like Bridges to me.
maybe the blue rider is a new "Clu" sent in to try to stop the renegade yellow/green "Clu" that was corrupted perhaps by elements of Sark. he kinda does look like a young David Warner.
what else could the motion capture be for? abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

here's a look at what Jeff Bridges is working on now. he plays a washed-up country singer in "Crazy Heart"
i'm not really a country guy but this song is pretty cool (i think it's written by T. Bone Burnett):

Interesting indeed...

Now that Mr. Bridges confirms he did the mocap a lot of possibilities open up 'story-wise', however, that doesn't necessarily mean they needed him to 'act like a Flynn-coded program'...

You need to check out the COMPLETELY UNOFFICIAL TRON TIMELINE!
Meanwhile in the real world... the controller feeds the shift clock to the VRAM's video port. Each shift clock pulse causes the VRAM to deliver the next datum, in strict address order, from the shift-register to the video port... Next frame-buffer data: Who created users?

Is there any way that you could scan that article, NoExcuses? That would be major awesome.

It's cool to hear that Jeff is still so enthusiastic about Tron. I think he's one of the few actors who really enjoyed doing it.

Damn, and I did try searching the site, too.

Either I missed it, or it wasn't online yet when I checked. Thanks, isMetaClass.
