BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Olivia Wilde Returns for #Tron3

She re-joins Garrett Hedlund, but no word on Jeff Bridges.

Story by Matt Cummings

When Tron: Legacy debuted in 2010, it didn't exactly win everyone over, at least not right away. Chided by critics as missing the spirit of the 1982 trippy computer-generated cult classic, it's gone on to become a rather beloved forerunner to more recent films. From the beautiful imagery by Director Joseph Kosinkski to the huge orchestral score by Daft Punk, Tron: Legacy has stuck around in moviegoer's minds far longer than more recent, established franchises (Amazing Spider-man, Transformers). And while a follow-up was only recently guaranteed, it appears that another critical component has re-joined for another adventure.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Actress Olivia Wilde is set to return, along with Garrett Hedlund in the follow-up currently titled Tron 3. Wilde, who played the computer-generated-butt-kicking Quorra, escaped with Sam Flynn (Hedlund) to the real world after Sam journeyed into The Grid to look for his father (Jeff Bridges). The film made over $400 million worldwide, signaling that audiences wanted to see more of that world. Since that time, Disney has been developing a sequel, although it's unclear whether a script exists. Also, it's not known whether Bridges or Bruce Boxleitner (who played the titular character in the 1982 and shared two roles in the 2010 version) will make an appearance.

Konsinki (Oblivion) is also signed to direct, and Disney is looking to begin shooting in Vancouver in the fall. No release date has been established, nor have any script details have released.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim
