"Twenty years ago TRON was ahead of its time for both its use of special effects and its concept of technology," said Bob Picunko, director of marketing, TRON 2.0. "Today, we find ourselves in the unique position of creating a computer game that is based on a film about a game. Advanced technology is finally available for us to realize the original vision for the movie in the upcoming TRON 2.0."

The focus of the development effort has been to create an epic adventure with innovative gameplay, while capturing the unique visual style of the film. Players, armed with an assortment of digital weapons, shields and gadget subroutines, challenge other programs on the light cycle Game Grid, contend with deadly adversaries and circumvent dangerous obstacles as they travel through never-before-seen settings in PC gaming.

"TRON 2.0 follows the vision and true spirit of the film," said Steven Lisberger, writer and director of the TRON film. "Monolith has done an incredible job."

Romijn-Stamos, star of the upcoming X-Men 2 film and supermodel who has graced numerous magazine covers, including Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, Victoria's Secret and Maxim, will heat up TRON 2.0's Game Grid as the undefeated champion light cycle racer who teams up with lead character Jet Bradley to combat corruption in the computer world. Mercury is a fearless computer artificial intelligence or "Game Bot" who was created by an unknown user to help Jet navigate the dangers of a mysterious digital world. As players travel through more than 30 enormous game levels, Mercury will provide invaluable support by "de-rezzing" a host of corrupt computer characters, including Datawraiths, Seekers and Z-Lots.

"Mercury plays a critical role in TRON 2.0 by helping the player, as Jet Bradley, discover his new powers as a 'User.' She also helps to reveal intriguing background that explains what has been happening in the digital world in the past 20 years, the last time a human was digitized in the TRON storyline," said Bob Picunko, director of marketing, Buena Vista Games. "Rebecca's voice adds a new dimension to the character and provides the depth that we're looking for in a powerful female lead."
