  FUN FACTS: LIFESTYLE

   

  • Director Joseph Kosinski assembled the highly detailed world of “TRON: Legacy” by enlisting a team of artists who were highly regarded in their fields: vehicle designers, architects, industrial engineers, graphic designers, and illustrators.

   

  • The use of light permeates the grid’s lifestyle, from cutting-edge, light-illuminated fashions to light cycles and light discs, and moves seamlessly through architecture, vehicles and clothing as a unifying element.

   

  • The world of “TRON: Legacy” features minimalist interiors and modern, light-enhancing architecture and there is extensive use of architectural under-lighting and lighted floor track lines.

   

  • In Kevin Flynn’s safe house, neo-Victorian furniture is featured in the minimalist interior, creating a look that blends the old with the new in a provocative way.

   

  • The body-molded suits with their distinct lighting patterns are influencing clothes and shoe designers, with “TRON: Legacy” fashion elements showing up on runways and in fashion magazines.

   

  • In “TRON: Legacy” Jeff Bridges re-teams with “TRON” comrades Bruce Boxleitner, who plays Alan Bradley, and Steven Lisberger, the director/writer of “TRON,” now producer on “TRON: Legacy.”

   

  • Jeff Bridges re-creates the role he originated in 1982’s “TRON,” 28 years ago— possibly the longest ever for an actor between creating and revisiting a role in film.

   

  • Jeff Bridges’ character, Kevin Flynn, lives in the Outlands, a dark and treacherous terrain off the Grid, in a safe house with a view of the glowing Grid cityscape in the distance.

   

  • Garrett Hedlund (Sam Flynn) and his co-star Olivia Wilde (Quorra) have wanted to work together ever since they met while working on their separate debut projects—seven years ago.

   

  • Garrett Hedlund trained in motorcycle riding, hand-to-hand combat, wirework, Capoeira and parkour to prepare for the role of the extreme sportsman Sam Flynn.

   

  • Olivia Wilde relished her role and its physicality, squaring off in fighting sequences and matching Hedlund stunt for stunt—but having trained in flat shoes prior to costuming, she had to re-train for everything in Quorra’s four-inch heels.

   

  • For flashback sequences, Bruce Boxleitner, in his role as Alan Bradley, was transformed into a younger version of himself, thanks to the efforts of hair/makeup and CG magicians.

   

  • Michael Sheen (Castor) saw the original “TRON” in Wales when he was about twelve years old and became an instant fan—never imagining he would have a chance to play a role in the high-tech adventure “TRON: Legacy.”

   

  • The extremely high and angled heels of the Sirens’ costumes presented a challenge to Beau Garrett (Gem), who could be seen practicing walking on the stairs of the End of Line Club set prior to filming her scenes.

   

  • The Siren actresses worked with a choreographer to coordinate and synchronize their walks and gestures, so their movements would appear identical and it took a team of hair and makeup artists—along with two dressers for the ‘suiting’— about three hours to transform the actresses into Sirens.

   

  • James Frain, who plays Jarvis, the head henchman to the villain Clu, is no stranger to playing men in service to powerful rulers—he’s portrayed the Spanish ambassador Alvaro de la Quadra to Elizabeth I in the film “Elizabeth,” Thomas Cromwell to Henry VII in the series “The Tudors,” and Mott, in service to the vampire king in “True Blood.”

   

  • Anis Cheurfa, who plays Rinzler, is a world-renown martial artist considered a pioneer in Martial Arts Tricking. Rinzler is the elite player in the Grid games and has the ability to split his disc into two weapons.

   

  • The Grid is conceptualized as a city filled with light that hosts over a million programs as inhabitants. A mile-high skyscraper towers over the city—at the top is a nightclub, the End of Line Club. The Outlands, a dark and treacherous terrain, lies beyond the edges of the Grid.

   

  • Grid dwellers entertain themselves with gladiator-like games, where combatants square off against each other with light discs and batons, and enjoy watching deadly Lightcycle races in huge stadiums with multi-level tracks.
