You've been busy this year, but over the last couple of years you've made fewer movies. Why? I spend a lot of time trying to resist doing anything, really! Honestly, there are a lot of things I love to do other than making movies, and I know that once I commit to a film it's going to prevent me from

Jeff Bridges Confirms Tron Sequel
You know, I’m often nervous when Hollywood discusses remakes of/sequels to the classics. But with the advances made in special effects these days, it would almost be a sin not to do a Tron sequel. In an interview with The Guardian, Jeff Bridges says he had to step back into the world of Tron because it was so much fun. And no, he will not be wearing any Neon G-strings this time around. The man who may forever be known as “The Dude” from The Big Lebowski also talks about his first turn in

Iron Man turned out to be one of the biggest films of the year. Why do your first big blockbuster now? The big draw for me with Iron Man was [director] Jon Favreau. I got the script and wasn’t sure I wanted to do it, but when I heard that Jon was involved… I was a big fan [...]

Well now Bridges has been talking about the sequel. He tells us why he signed up for the sequel, and how different it will be with todays technologies.

Jeff Bridges on the Tron Sequel

God, I wet myself everytime I even think about how awesome this sequel will be.

Jeff Bridges Sounds Like an Old Man When Talking Tron 2
/Film turned me on to two Tron 2-related tidbits (or "Tr2n," if you absolutely must call it that). The big news is that it's being filmed in 3D, which sounds absolutely awesome. The other is a lengthy quote that Bridges gave the Guardian last week, while discussing the movie: [TRON 2 is] another unique, wild experience that was too good to turn down. Engaging in that world again feels just like it did all that time ago. Basically, I’m still a child, I love being childlike, and here was another chance to

Jeff Bridges Talks About the Cutting Edge of 'Tron 2'
The geek cred of Jeff Bridges has skyrocketed this year. I can't really think of a time when he wasn't adored by film fans, but he's got a special place with the fanboys these days thanks to his turn as Obadiah Stane in Iron Man. I was present for the Tron 2/Tr2n (do I really have to spell it that way?) footage at ComicCon this year -- and it was one of those moments that will forever hold a place in nerd legend; the first glimpse of Bridges' face caused the walls of Hall H to shake with howls of glee. And

'How To Lose Friends' lacks bite
I'm not sure if Graydon Carter considers himself a hypocrite for having started out savagely mocking the glitteratti with his Spy magazine and then making love to it as editor of Vanity Fair. I am pretty sure he'd be happy with the casting choice of Jeff Bridges to play the guy who's obviously him in How To Lose Friends And Alienate People. The film, taken from a spleen-venting book by disgruntled ex-employee Toby Young, somehow morphs into a slightly tart romantic comedy en route to the screen. An

Spin-ematical: New on DVD for 9/30
Iron ManAt the risk of drawing the ire of Batfans everywhere, I'll just come out and say it: Iron Man is the best my favorite superhero movie of the year. (Dear Comic-Con: Please don't revoke my press pass.) Dark Knight is indeed brilliant, and brilliantly dark, but Iron Man is just so much more ... fun (AND it has social messages!). Poor Jeff Bridges may not hold a candle to the late Heath Ledger in the villain department, but Iron Man wins out elsewhere. Its characters are colorful and layered, its action

Jeff Bridges Finally Talks About Working on Tr2n!
So I don't think we're the only ones who start salivating when we hear any mention of Tron 2 aka Tr2n, which is why I couldn't more happier to write this news today. I finally got the chance to see the teaser trailer that was shown at Comic-Con on the glorious big screen a few weeks ago and it still blows my mind every time.

TR2N in 3D
I’m still trying to recuperate from that stupid Traffic Jam that I had to go through on the freeway just to get back home. I tell ya, some drivers would slow down their cars just to watch the accidents by the side of the road. Via slashfilm and AICN, according to them, and yes, I credit the sources… The Comic Con teaser for TR2N was shot in stereoscopic 3D, and the film will be, too. Yes, what’s better than a TRON Sequel?

Kevin Flynn actor Jeff Bridges gushed about the sequel to Tron, and what it's like making a movie of light cycle goodness in motion capture. If there was any doubt that TR2N was going to be bushels of awesome and heaps of greatness, I think Disney's wise decision to use the best technology in the movie business right now has sealed the deal. In an interview with the Guardian Jeff Bridges explained why he wasn't afraid to strap on another Tron suit and how just making the trailer for Comic-Con was wo
