Garrett Hedlund Returning To Star In Third ‘Tron’ Film

by Shawn Madden

After news of a screenwriter being attached to a third Tron film, the question arose if we would be seeing any of the cast of Tron: Legacy return for the film. It’s now been confirmed that Garrett Hedlund, who starred as Sam Flynn in the film, will be returning to reprise his role and star in the third chapter in the franchise.

Hedlund himself confirmed this while speaking about his movie On The Road. When asked if he would be returning to star in the next film Hedlund responded:

“Yeah. Are we gonna break this now? Disney’s very excited. That’s about that. You know, yeah, I’m very excited, Disney’s very excited.”

Jesse Wigutow is currently in negotiations to write the script with Joseph Kosinski, who directed Tron: Legacy, returning to direct. There is no word if any of the other cast members will be returning but production is rumored to begin in 2014.

Michael Jai White Reprising Jax Role In Big Screen ‘Mortal Kombat’ Reboot

by Shawn Madden

There hasn’t been a lot of news regarding Kevin Tancharoen’s (director of the Mortal Kombat: Legacy webseries) upcoming big-screen reboot of Mortal Kombat in the recent months. However, we do have our first bit of casting news for the film via Twitter. Michael Jai White, who played Jax in the webseries as well as the Rebirth short, has confirmed that he won’t be back for the second season of the series but definitely will be reprising the role of Jackson “Jax” Briggs in the upcoming big screen reboot of Mortal Kombat.

 

If this upcoming reboot is anything like Tancharoen’s webseries, the series may see some redemption for the awful Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Here’s hoping to some of the other actors from the webseries joining the film’s cast as well.
