Disney flew Jeff Bridges out to Canada for a digitization process that is set to "de-age" the actor by 27 years for Tron 2.0, according to io0.com. As revealed at Comic-Con last year, Bridge's character Flynn is set to interact with his younger self from the original, with the comic scenes showing him watching over the young Flynn racing. Apparently the cutting edge technique -- also used in X-Men: The Last Stand to knock 20 years off Patrick Stewart and Ian Mckellen -- involves plaster-casting Bridges to create a 3-D model, then sculpting a younger version of his face to be super-imposed onto a body double. www.ign.com
Tron 2.0 will begin shooting this Spring in time for a Summer 2011 release.
