Disney Casts Lead in Insanely Overbudgeted &#39;Tron&#39;
SequelS  After flirting with actors like Ryan Gosling and Chris
Pine, Disney has cast Four Brothers star Garrett Hedlund as the
lead in Tron, the sequel to...Tron.  "Hedlund has been
considered one of those actors that is on the cusp within the
industry, though without much of a profile in middle America,"
said THR in their casting scoop. "Starring in a $150 million
effects-intensive feature could change that." Yes, WHAT? $150
million dollars for Tron, the sequel to Tron? We're assuming
that $80 million of that is going toward the actual movie, and
the other $70 million will be set aside to buy each moviegoer a
Madball and Commodore 64. [THR]
