Disney Casts Relative Uknown for Tron 2 Top Spot

Filed under: Film Flickers > Disney

Bit player - and hottie! - Garrett Hedlund has been tapped to lead Disney's $150 million, sci-fi, Tron sequel.

He's had small roles in the movies Friday Night Lights and Eragon.

Hedlund supposedly beat Ryan Gosling for the role.

What a coup!

Disney apparently searched far and wide for the 'right' person.

No pressure, Garrett.

Don't eff anything up!

    10. 10

      He was also in a film with Mark Walhberg, Andre 2000 and Tyrese Gibson (pardon my spelling or lack there of) called Four Brothers. He played the youngest brother (kind of a modern version of "The Sons of Katie Elder") and was VERY cute! Not sure about Tron but he is definately YUMMY!



    11. 11

      oh damn! garrett is gorgeous and he is talented; all haters to the left! as much as i



    12. 12

      this kid went to my high school (horizon high school in scottsdale ,az) and he is like the biggest stoner and idiot ever. i can't believe hes actually acting



    13. 13

      in this picture he kind of looks like Chad Michael Murray



    14. 14

      mmm he is fair hot.



    15. 15

      he was in "troy" with brad pitt and "four brothers" with marky mark as well.



    16. 16

      The computers in the original Tron have the same power as todays calculators. "The users, the users, the users!"



    17. 17

      he played the mormon guy in georgia rule too and was super hot!!!



    18. 18

      I like him on Georgia Rule



    19. 19

      YES! Go Garrett! ^_^ I have no idea what Tron is, but he is so hot I'll definitely have to see it! :D



    20. 20

      He isn't well known, But "I" have been a fan of his ever since I saw him in Friday Night Lights. He is soooo Hot. He was good in "Four Brothers". I think he will do good ♥



    21. 21

      no waaaaaay, love garrett hedlund!



    22. 22

      I liked him in Four Brothers & Friday Night Lights. I have no clue what Tron is so I don't think this was a smart move for him.



    23. 23

      Thirteen from house has been cast too. The mouse is putting all the bucks in to the special effects on this one



    24. 24

      I loved him in Four Brothers as well as Death Sentence.



    25. 25

      GARRETT WAS ALSO IN "FOUR BROTHERS" WITH MARK WAHLBERG — GOOD MOVIE / LOVED HIM !



    26. 26

      NO kidding…. I went to high school with him in scottsdale az. Garrett was also in Troy with Brad Pitt.



    27. 27

      Dude, he is GOOD. Props to Disney for this one. This guy also was in Four Brothers with Wahlberg. He's definitely got a slick edge to him. Right on



    28. 28

      unknown???? He was in Four Brothers with Mark Wahlberg and was absolutely fantastic. I cried so hard when he died in it. Sorry if i ruined the ending for anyone.

      actually, his role in Friday NIght Lights was significant, not a small one.



    30. 30

      Good job, Garrett!!

      Friday Night Lights!



    31. 31

      tut tut tut tut, no no no. Ryan Gosling is hot. It is difficult to usurp someone like him. But wait, this one photo is pretty darn nice too and I did think "Ryan Gosling hot" when I first saw it. Who is he?



    32. 32

      not very familiar with tron, but this dude is from here in mn. whoohoo!



    33. 33

      Ryan Golsing is HAWT!!! This guy, not so much. Blah.



    34. 34

      LOL Gosling can't even get cast in a Disney movie. Must be desperate since he's got nothing but his "music" going for him now. *insert eye-roll here*



    35. 35

      i like this dude. hes cool…and hot=)

    42. 42

      I liked him in Four Brothers. Eragon was a snoozer. WTF is Tron? On second thought, I dont give a shit.



    43. 43

      ha! he looks like Rickie from The trailer Park Boys



    44. 44

      Garrett Hedlund is actually a very good actor. He was in Four Brothers, Georgia Rule and most recently Death Sentence. I love Ryan as well and I believe that either one would have been a great choice, but I think its time to let some of the rather talented unknowns shine.

      Trust me, when this movie comes out, people are going to be impressed

      Georgia Rule
      Eragon
      Friday Night Lights
      Troy



    46. 46

      Unknown?
      He's first movie was with Brad Pitt!!



    47. 47

      Tron was not BAD when it came out. I was alive, and went to see it. It was very groundbreaking for the time. guilty obviously wasn't around at the time, or was too young.



    48. 48


    49. 49

      I loved Garrett Hedlund in Troy AND Four Brothers!



    50. 50

      Aren't we about 25 years too late for a sequel?



    51. 51

      He will forever be known to me as "Jack Mercer" :)



    52. 52

      He was also in Troy and Georgia Rule. Completely gorgeous. Ahhhhh…



    53. 53

      He was also in Troy and Georgia Rule. ….gorgeous…..



    54. 54

      I liked him in 4 brothers.



    55. 55

      Garry was adorable in 4 Brothers and soooo great in Death Sentence!



    56. 56

      Another thing you know NOTHING about Perez! He's a pretty good actor and was the lead villain in Death Sentence with Kevin Bacon, and was in Troy (played Bradd Pitts cousin who gets killed mistakingly instead of Pitt), and like mentioned in prior posts above, Four Brothers, and so on… You should really research something before you post/blog next time Perez…



    57. 57

      Ugh… *shudders* …Disney. The sound of those corporate assmonkeys makes me wanna set a Hannah Montana backpack on fire!

      But he's a cutie, i'll give him that. :)



    58. 58

      Garrett hedlund is so amazeing, you is not only super handsome but extremely talented. He has an amazing acting range that is so crazy talented. I mean just take a look at his work in death Sentece(amazing talent) He is so awesome, he just hasn't gotten enough exposure, but this flim hopefully will change that.
