Tronby Chris Arrant

Last fall’s “Tron Legacy” was one of the most anticipated movies of all time. From the teaser film released at Comic-Con International in San Diego years before to the elaborate events staged across the country, “Tron Legacy” was one of the most unique films in recent memory — and that’s before you factor in the special effects. But for “Tron” fans, this was something they’ve been waiting for since 1982. And they weren’t alone.

For actor Bruce Boxleitner, the resurgence of the “Tron” franchise 15+ years after the original was a chance to continue the story and give back to the fans who have approached him throughout the years expressing their love for the original film and the desire for more.

Although he starred in two major television hits in “Scarecrow & Mrs. King” and “Babylon 5,” Boxleitner will always be best remembered by the world at large as the computer program that fought for the users. Today’s release of “Tron Legacy” on Blu-ray and DVD offers both the final iteration of the 2010 film as well as a look into the future with the series of new short films Boxleitner shot for the collection. He talks about all of this and more after the jump.

The "Harry Potter" series has come a long way since "The Sorcerer's Stone," and I don't mean that purely from a chronological standpoint — though, yes, many years have passed since that first film landed in theaters and, of course, our stars have grown.

No, it's the tone that's come the furthest. The beautifully bewildering world of magic spells and potions that we were first introduced to all those years ago has given way to a darker, deadlier place. Gone are the comparatively low-stakes Quidditch matches of yesteryear, replaced by epic battles to the death against the murderous Lord Voldemort. Indeed, the wizarding world of "Harry Potter" is not the bright and happy place it once was — though that's not to say it isn't still a stunning world to behold.

In this exclusive deleted scene from "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" — a clip that premiered during our "Potter" live-stream earlier this evening — viewers are invited to take a closer look at how a common wizarding family has been damaged by the Dark Lord… a family better known as The Weasleys.

"Tron: Legacy" arrives on DVD and Blu-ray next week (April 5), bringing the stylized technological world of the Gaming Grid out of the theaters and straight into your living room.

To mark the occasion, we've got a look at a behind-the-scenes feature from the "Legacy" DVD and Blu-ray with a featurette that chronicles Michael Sheen's transformation into the florescent and flamboyant Castor, the bleach-blond program in charge of the End of Line Club.

The young stars of "Harry Potter" would be hard-pressed to say that they were anything but lucky to be cast in the series 10 years ago.

But that doesn't mean that they never had hopes and dreams to follow different career paths. In an exclusive clip from the "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" DVD/Blu-Ray, MTV has a first look at what Rupert Grint and Tom Felton think about how "Harry Potter" has affected their lives.


The video includes a cute bit where Felton asks Grint what he would be doing if he had never been cast as Ron Weasley. Hint: it involves his ice cream truck.

It isn't a secret that Darren Aronofsky had originally conceived "Black Swan" as a sister project to "The Wrestler," but never before have we heard the actual process through which the concept developed... until now, that is!


We got their hands on an exclusive behind-the-scenes clip from the "Black Swan" DVD and Blu-ray, currently in stores, where Aronofsky discusses how he came up with the idea of a ballerina who performed in "Swan Lake" and found herself torn apart by a double persona -- and it all started with Aronofsky reading Fyodor Dostoevsky's "The Double: A Petersberg Poem."

Christian BaleFrom its world premiere at the AFI Fest in November to the theatrical release in December to the awards-show circuit that wrapped up with the Oscars late last month, director David O. Russell has spent the last six months talking nonstop about "The Fighter."

And just when he thought he was done, the boxing drama's DVD and Blu-ray arrived this month. Once more back into the fray!

But here's the thing: he doesn't mind at all. While Russell would admit to a bit of "Fighter" fatigue during a recent MTV News interview, he said he continues to welcome the chance to chat about the movie. "Sure, there's some of that," he said about PR overkill. "At the same time, I love this movie so much and it was such a special experience."

It's no surprise, then, that he still has an urge to sit back and check out Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale and the rest of the "Fighter" cast do their stuff on screen. "I wanted to watch it yesterday. I was listening to some of the music in my car," he laughed. "I like watching the first 15 minutes of it. I just think they're really good."

Now, with the DVD and Blu-ray on shelves, you not only have the chance to watch the Oscar-winning flick again, but you can also check out a never-before-seen deleted clip that MTV News has exclusively obtained. Watch it past the jump!

The deleted scene takes place fairly early in the film as Micky Ward (Wahlberg) waits at the boxing gym ready to work out. An HBO documentary crew is in place but his brother and trainer, Dicky Eklund, is nowhere to be found. Dicky, it turns out, has been up all night on a drug-bender. When he realizes he's late for training, he takes off running. The new clip shows some of Dicky's wacky encounters on his way to the gym. He stops in front of a neighbor's door for a smoke break and confronts a few kids who call him a loser.

"Look at me!" he tells the kids with that familiar jokey yet menacing manner. "You better watch it or I'll set my sisters on you. You don't want that."

Deathly HallowsAs if you needed more reasons to get excited for the "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" DVD and Blu-ray release on April 15, the "Maximum Movie Mode" feature should be enough to set you over the edge.

EW got an exclusive look at the newest special feature in the Blu-ray combo back, which is an interactive feature placed throughout the film that offers throwbacks to important moments from the previous movies and offer insight into the series as a whole.

This first video has Jason Isaacs explaining the role of Dementors throughout the franchise in terms of their look and functionality. In case you need a quick refresher, Dementors are "dark creatures of fear and sadness." But since we're pretty up-to-date on our Dementor history, here are some other aspects of the films we'd like a closer look at.
