The Film Comment Podcast: Jeff Bridges Makes a Decision

Relax and repeat: this year’s recipient of FLC’s Chaplin Award discusses his iconic movies—and how he ended up in them often in spite of himself

www.filmcomment.com

“I’m heading off this Saturday [to start filming]. It’s wild. Jared Leto is the star of this third one, and I’m really anxious to work with him, and I’ve admired his work.”

 

[ZeroZeroQuatre]

What about Bruce Boxleitner ?
Will Tron also be in Tron ?

 

[Toons]

Now this is interesting. I'm very excited for this film. The ip is one of my favorites of all time.

 

[wondermega]

Actually surprised. I love the first Tron movie & a big fan of Bridges - there's a few ways they can do this and I've honestly made peace that he & Boxleitner would not be in this installment (actually I'm not sure I want them in it?) They are getting up there now. I don't need to see de-aged characters either, it's distracting. Anyway this adds to the interesting story of the film, so as usual I'm keen to stay tuned.

Cautiously.

I just fired up that 360 game Tron:Evolution (I think) and I wonder how much of the Abraxis/virus corruption story they may be recycling for this. Bit janky game for movement but still looks decent.

I hope they get Elijah Wood as at least a cameo, I liked that sadly short lived TV show as well.

BTW I strongly advice any fan to watch the animated series Tron Uprising it is a brilliant story of how the rebellion against CLUE grows

 

[belmarduk]

Anything with Jared Leto is a hard pass for me. Even if its Tron.

Did he see Morbius? or any of his other work?

 

[Esca]

Ugh Jared Leto, everything else yay

 

[Kilau]

Did he see Morbius? or any of his other work?

Word choice…

anx·ious
adjective

1. experiencing worry, unease, or nervousness, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome.

As for admire, I guess we can all admire how he keeps getting work.

I am talking about the admire part.

 

[Kilau]

I am talking about the admire part.

Like I said, his ability to get more work is admirable. He also does have at least one good performance in his career.

 

[ahtlas7]

When he says Jared Leto …

… it’s Tron!

 

[Pagusas]

Can someone point me to a good Jared Leto film? I've only seen him in a few recent films (all comic book) and all were horrible, and not just because of script, but because every moment of him on screen was insufferable. I'd be very curious to see him in a critically or audiance rated "good" performance.

 

[Ballthyrm]

I hope they get Elijah Wood as at least a cameo, I liked that sadly short lived TV show as well.

Or Tricia Helfer, Tron uprising was so good. I miss that show, it deserves to continue. It's basically as good as the clone wars but for the Tron universe.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I have absolutely zero hype for this.

First off, I didn't think the second movie was all that great. I love the first movie though.

Besides, this is Disney so you know exactly how this is going to turn out. I don't even have to say that this is going to be made for the "modern audiences" crowd.

I like Requiem for a Dream and Switchback, but I don't think it's because of JL.

He's in the second Blade Runner movie. He did a pretty good job there as the vilain.

I think it's not so much an issue of acting ability but more an issue of poor choice of projects.

 

[CGNoire]

Thats cool and all but Id much rather Joseph K. To direct and Daft Punk to reunite for this.

 

[lmimmfn]

Interested only if Beau Garrett is back!!!

 

[JCK75]

I love Tron and I REALLY hope it's good but man.. I hate me some Jared Leto so I'm worried.

 

[ManaByte]

Daft Punk to reunite for this.

Seems like Hans Zimmer is doing it.

 

[Big Baller]

Sounds like Avatar

 

[Trunx81]

Jared Leto is a male Emilia Clarke. Non of the movies or shows they appeared in since stardom was a hit.

 

[Ammogeddon]

Has there been mention of Cillian Murphy? They set him up in the last one so thought he’d be returning too.

 

[CGNoire]

Seems like Hans Zimmer is doing it.

I love Han's work since forever just hope its 80s Han that shows up. Hmmmmm i always felt Daft's score was Synthwave meets Han Zimmers Batman score....I wonder. Interesting for sure.

Edit: hmmm just listened. This seems to be going a different direction :/
"A song for the Web3 generation".....ohhhh fuck off.

 

[ClanOfNone]

Leto is a weirdo but Requiem for a Dream is some real shit. Aronofsky got great performances out of everyone in that movie.
It is a rough movie to watch, especially if you’ve dealt with addiction in your life, but I loved it all the same.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

This feels 10 years too late but alright. We need a 4k hdr of that second film.

 

[dark_chris]

I wonder if Tron will be in this Tron movie. He was barely in the second one lol

 

[Dev1lXYZ]

If there was any movie that would benefit from digital actors, it’s this one. Imagine David Warner’s likeness coming back as the face of the MCP/Sark or a younger version of TRON and Flynn? Of course this would all be on the Grid, not in the real world, so they could even throw in some janky looking faces on purpose for effect.

I’ve been a fan of TRON since I saw it in theaters decades ago. It’s nice that they are showing the IP some love again. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the sequel, but it has a great soundtrack nonetheless.
