Bridges talks Tr2n

Jeff Bridges has been talking about TR2N in a publicity interview for HOW TO LOSE FRIENDS AND ALIENATE PEOPLE. In particular he compares it to KING KONG. Check the full interview out HERE. He says:

“Well, when we made Tron there was no internet, no cellphones. But now we have motion capture, so I think we’ll get a far more successful version of the story, which is someone literally getting sucked into a video game. When we did King Kong in the 70s, one minute you’d have a shot of Rick Baker in this big suit and then you’d cut to this 80ft stiff model, and they looked nothing alike. Compare to that Peter Jackson’s King Kong the technology is there and they did a wonderful job. I thought they created a beautiful Kong. So I hope that’ll be the same for Tron.”

The thing about this movie is that on the one hand I don’t know anyone who is particularly bothered about, but on the other Jeff Bridges was The Dude. He’s like Michael Jackson now. No matter what he does or is repeatedly alleged to have done, whenever I hear his name all I can think of is the moonwalk. Likewise even when I see Bridges playing support in shit like HOW TO LOSE FRIENDS all that I really see is him shouting “I need my f-cking Johnson, man!”
