Olivia Wilde Discusses TRON 3 and Quorra in the Real World
I couldn’t be more excited that Disney is moving forward with their Tron 3 plans! I’ve been waiting for this to happen since Tron: Legacy, I just didn’t think fans would have to wait this long. Better late than never though!
Garett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde are set to reprise their roles in the film, and in a recent interview with Collider, Wilde talked a little bit about the production, confirming that the movie will indeed begin shooting in October as previously rumored.
Talking about why the movie took so long to happen, she explained that they were just trying to find the right story:
“The delay has only ever been story, finding the right story. It hasn’t been anything else. There’s never been a time where we wanted to go and then schedules got in the way. It’s only been like, ‘That’s not the right story.’ So, in the past year, the right story kind of came together and we felt, ‘Oh, this actually – this might be the right one to tell.’ And, you know, there’s still a lot to be done before it could actually happen, but the fact that there’s a goal of this year to start is really exciting.”
She goes on to talk about her character and how we will follow the character in the real world, which is what we expected would be a major plot point.
“I love this character of Quorra so much, and I’ve built her with Joe Kosinski, and we took her such a long way from what was written to what we made. I mean, I fought for her to be this kind of androgynous child and that’s so not what you typically see in these movies, so I’m so grateful that the producers let me play with her and make her this strange little being. And I’m really excited to see what happens to that character when put into the real world. I think it’s an interesting concept. I’m fascinated by all discussions of AI, and especially now today and now with virtual reality becoming something that’s like a personal device, I think it’s the time to tell this story.”
Disney has yet to confirm anything official, but I do know for a fact that it’s in development and that everyone is just anxiously waiting for the official greenlight.
