I hate "TRON: Legacy." Not the movie itself, mind you-- it looks freaking AWESOME. No, I hate the amount of time left between now and the long-awaited Disney sequel's December 17 release. Anticipation has been running high ever since the very first announcement.

Now there's a new poster. Revealing a new character no less! A Hungarian poster surfaced on Kinopoisk.ru (via /Film) featuring Beau Garrett's character Jem, one of the movie's four Sirens-- characters charged with overseeing the Grid Game armory.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Turistas" stars Olivia Wilde and Beau Garrett are the first to sign on for "Tron 2.0." Read More...
