Boxleitner back for Tron 2.0

Now this is good news…. for us and Bruce Boxleitner.

Mirko from Coming Soon dropped us a line to let us know Bruce Boxleitner, who played Alan Bradley and the title character in the original “Tron”, is returning for the no-longer-shitty-spelt sequel, “Tron 2.0”.

I wondered whether Disney would re recruit Boxleitner (“Scarecrow and Mrs King”, “Babylon 5”) for the sequel – he’s not exactly a huge name any more, but he is crucial to the Tron universe.

Boxleitner’s been keeping himself busy doing telemovies (he did a western with my producing partner, from memory) the last few years, but this is quite the step-up. Not that he doesn’t deserve to re-enter the big leagues for a spell – he’s a terrific actor.

This is shaping up to be one heck of a sequel. Now where’s Cindy Morgan hiding!?
