Re: Tron Remake in the Works at Disney
SCI FI Wire: Olivia Wilde reveals a few secrets from Tron, with a blast from the past.
speaking on Tuesday, Jan. 6, at a press day in Los Angeles to promote the new episodes of
House, Wilde declines politely to answer other questions about her character, her character's name, how her character will be realized, etc. But she has a few things to say, and we've excerpted her exclusive interview with SCI FI Wire below.
Quote:
Your character has been described as someone who works in the virtual world to defeat the Master Control Program.
Wilde: I can't confirm or deny that. I tell you, it's not a great description. I don't know who made it up. Someone's grasping for straws there. But ... I'm so excited I wish I could just unload the whole thing on you.
Can you tell us your name?
Wilde: I can't!
Did you shoot while wearing a motion-capture suit?
Wilde: I can't tell you that either. I'm so sorry. ...
Will you be shooting against green screens?
Wilde: They're going to build a huge amount of the set. The director, Joe Kosinski, has made some unbelievable commercials. People can check out his Web site. He's just a really talented guy. And he's a really big fan of using as much sets as you can, because he's an architect as well, so he likes to build these worlds. And with something like Tron, I think it helps to create the environment as much as possible without too much green screen so that these characters can exist within this world, ... with the feel ... as real as possible.
That does sound counterintuitive.
Wilde: Doesn't it? I think, for a lot of the characters, the world of Tron is their only world, and they don't know anything beyond it, and creating a world of Tron that is as intricate and solid as possible kind of helps that along. And I think it's interesting, because it means that when they ... actually created us a set, they can be as ... detailed, and they can use reflections of things. ... Once you get into the world of CGI, it's ... more difficult.
A certain amount of it will be CGI, of course, I think; it's hard to make a lot of the fun toys real. Unless he wants to spend $50 billion on it, which is fine with me.
Do you get to ride a light cycle?
Wilde: [squeals] I can't tell you!!! But I want to! I want to! I'm afraid I'd be murdered before I left the building [laughs]. It's really , really exciting. I know the fans will be really happy with what they're creating.
