The upcoming TRON: Legacy was one of the big hits of Comic-Con last week, and Disney had many aspects of the film for fans to consume, from footage to toys to the very cool Flynn’s Arcade, a fully functioning arcade with 1980s games that debuted last year as a viral-marketing tool in San Diego and returned this year for the big pop-culture event. For fans of the 1982 original TRON, though, the main attraction was star Jeff Bridges, who was very much an integral figure at this year’s Comic-Con. The recent Oscar winner (pictured with fellow TRON star Bruce Boxleitner) reprises his role in TRON: Legacy as Kevin Flynn, the hacker who gets transported to a digital computer world (his son, played by Garrett Hedlund, searches for him when he goes missing) as well as plays a younger version of himself that is a new incarnation of Flynn’s original computer program named Clu. Check out a video below from the TRON: Legacy press conference where Bridges explains what led to him signing up for a TRON sequel.
