Tron 2.0's Lead Character Will Be Beardless, Hot [Tron 2.0]
Welcome Garrett Hedlund as the new star of Disney's Tron 2.0, sequel to the 1982 light-cycle flick. While I can't say much for his acting chops, he's certainly giving Tron Guy some much-needed competition.I don't know much about Garrett Hedlund, other than he played a poorly pieced-together young virgin in Georgia Rule, and the exceedingly annoying emo warrior Murtagh in Eragon. But I can say this: the boy will look good in a unitard.This should be a make-or-break role for Hedlund, seeing as he'll have to g

TRON is Back - Bruce Boxleitner in Tron 2.0!
The energy was almost tangible in the early ComicCon bootleg videos we saw of the Tron teaser Trailer. When people saw those light cycles you could hear the crowd buzz, but the real eruption happened when we saw Jeff Bridges grace the screen looking so badass in his jammies. Damn that was good.

A-List Faction Kindly Asks SAG Not to Totally Destroy Hollywood [Hollywood Strikewatch]
A sturdy cross-section of topline Hollywood talent from Tom Hanks to George Clooney to René Auberjonois today urged SAG leadership to back down from its '09 strike threat.
