For the next couple posts might make it sound like there is no other news online but Tron Legacy, but I just happened to trip on two tidbits I just had to share. The first of which is Frost/Nixon star Michael Sheen will be joining the cast of Tron Legacy.
Apparently there has been a rumor floating around that Michael Sheen had role in the sequel, Tron:Legacy. Our British site partner, FilmShaft got a heads up on it from the Tron UK PR department. When he got a cast list from them and he saw Sheen’s name on it. Now it seems that Disney has confirmed the role via their Twitter feed. Way to go Craig on the scoop! Too bad most people will get the story via Twitter and never know our British brother’s journalistic integrity and investigative grit.
It wasn’t particularly clear as to which role he would have but it was rumored that Sheen was to play a villain that may or may not be human.
Michael Sheen has been scooping up some sweet parts lately with the voice of the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland, Aro in Twilight’s New Moon. And now a possible villain in Tron Legacy.
I have always liked his presence and he has the ability to play a variety of convincing roles. I look forward to seeing what comes of this casting.
