In case you haven’t been keeping up with the developments in the Tron remake/sequel — and, to be honest, why would you? — a pair of actresses have been cast: Olivia Wilde (far left) and Beau Garrett. They’ll be joining Jeff Bridges, who’s returning as Kevin Flynn, the hacker who gets sucked into a virtual world.
Ho-hum.
Don’t get me wrong: I dug the 1982 original. I was (and am) a videogamer, so it hit me in the sweet spot. And what’s not to like about light cycles and solar sailers and virtual gladiatorial games? But I didn’t care a whit who was in the film. Casting isn’t gonna get anyone excited about another Tron; you’re gonna have to show me something.
Are you gonna line up in 2011 to see Tr2n? (And does that title strike you as silly/pretentious as it does me?)

Did you not see the Tr2n footage from Comic-Con? That showed everything you needed to know – so cool!
Great – we now have “The Artist Formerly Known as Prince” glyph of movie titles.
I agree, the title is just dumb. I’m still looking forward to the film, though.
If you look at the logotype as it is designed in its original font style, it’s kinda clever (The “o” and the “2″ share similar elements). But once you change it to a regular font like Arial or whatever, then yeah it looks kinda lame.
Here’s a link to a an image of the logo-

I completely agree. I have seen the footage. Impressive, but who cares who is in it? Casting is not the pull for this feature.
