Well, the idea of working with Jeff again, and finding out where these characters went after all these years, and seeing what happened to them, was what intrigued me. When I first read the script, I was just thrilled about it because I had no idea that Alan Bradley had become such a lost soul. It was such a great take on these characters that was so absolutely real. I was just thrilled by it. -- Bruce Boxleitner interviewed at SDCC 2010http://www.collider.com/2010/07/28/comic-con-tron-legacy-interview-jeff-bridges-bruce-boxleitner-garrett-hedlund-olivia-wilde-michael-sheen/
