News > Young Jeff Bridges in Tron 2.0

Jeff Bridges will play a young and old version of himself in the upcoming sci-fi film Tron 2, but how exactly they are doing it we had no idea until now.  IO9 is reporting that Disney has spared no expense and they have sent Bridgets to Canada to be digitized and rejuvinated.

They will then take that 3D model and make him younger and then slap it on a body double in post.  As this is only one cog in the machine, I can't give a whole lot of detail. Canada scans actors and props to be used for various projects. These are very high resolution scans that pick up every wrinkle, face lift and scar on the actors body.

If this is true, it totally explains how there can be two Jeff Bridges in the shot together: the real Jeff, and his digitized, younger 3-D clone. Here's hoping it looks as cool as it sounds.
