Every new piece of information I learn about this film just seems to make it even more awesome, Michael Sheen is a fantastic actor.

Brad, they could just use CGI for Tron and have Boxleitner do the voice… as with the young Flynn in the teaser.

Awesome news! Michael Sheen is an excellent actor. He’s also doing the White Rabbit’s voice in the new Alice in Wonderland movie.

I can see him playing a great villain. He did very well as Lucian in the Underworld series. Infact he was one of the best things about Underworld, even though there wasn’t much to begin with. ;p

But whatever part he plays, I’m glad he’s on board.

I don’t know about you but from the teaser it sure did look like Flynn was going to be the villain. You know power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutly type of thing.

But who will play our hero Tron? It surly wouldn’t be Bruce Boxleitner, he maybe a bit on the old side, but Sheen could fill those shoes maybe.

Michael Sheen is a good actor. I really liked his acting in the ‘Underworld’ Franchise.

YES!

What role could Sheen could play that is “a villain that may or may not be human”? My first thought was that he is the updated voice and/or “face” of a rebooted MCP.

By the way, I noticed in a cast list that John Hurt is also in the film, as is original cast member Bruce Boxleitner (which sort of makes sense-he, after all, played ‘Tron’)

I’m *really* looking forward to this in 2011. Two years away- goodness!
