TRON: Evolution is one of the keys to unlocking the TRON mythology. The game’s story takes place before the “TRON: Legacy” events and provides insight into the film’s past. As an integrated entertainment experience, the film will reference elements of the game’s story. Fans will want to play the game to learn more about the TRON mythology seen in the film, but each entertainment experience will stand on its own.

“TRON: Legacy” film director Joseph Kosinski consulted on the vision for the debut video game trailer, which includes computer graphics that were created by the same company that will provide the film’s CG animations. Kosinski will advise on the game’s vision during 2010 to ensure accuracy with the film. In addition to directing “TRON: Legacy,” Kosinski is renowned in the video games industry as having directed prolific feature film-quality game trailers for major product releases.

Film and TV star Olivia Wilde and the actor who portrayed the original TRON character, Bruce Boxleitner, will headline the voice cast for the upcoming video game, TRON: Evolution, in addition to appearing in the highly anticipated December film, “TRON: Legacy.” The Hollywood voice cast will star in the upcoming TRON: Evolution video games that bridge the storyline gap between the original “TRON” film and the upcoming “TRON: Legacy” film. Wilde, who plays Quorra, Kevin Flynn’s confidant in the “TRON: Legacy” film, will also star as that character in the TRON: Evolution video games.

Joining Wilde and Boxleitner as voices in the TRON: Evolution video games will be Jensen Ackles (Gibson), James Frain, John Glover (Abraxas), Nolan North (Behemoth, Sentries and Blaze), Kari Wahlgren (Radia), Robin Atkin Downes (Kalev), Terrence A. Carson (Calchas), and Fred Tatasciore (Kevin Flynn, Clu and Bosh). Diane Michelle, Yuri Lowenthal, and Laura Bailey also provide voice audio for the game.

“Quorra is a strong memorable character in the film and the opportunity to represent her in the video game was really important to assure consistency for telling her story,” said Olivia Wilde. “Being in both ‘TRON: Legacy’ and the TRON: Evolution video games is incredible.”

Boxleitner is synonymous with the TRON franchise among fans with his pivotal roles in both the original “TRON” film and now “TRON: Legacy.”

“The voice cast from the film lends authenticity to the experience as they’re telling their characters’ stories after having spent months acting as those characters in the film,” said Darren Hedges, game director, Propaganda Games. “We developed a great relationship with both the talent and the filmmakers throughout their shoot in Vancouver and the experience players will get throughout the game provides a solid back story leading into the ‘TRON: Legacy’ film.”
