Crossing Bridges

From TRON: Legacy, to True Grit, Mr. Bridges is somewhat of a busy actor. He's got two new films coming out in December. One is a bit more talked about, and the other is talked about mainly in western circles.

Tron: Legacy has been talked about ever since that little clip debuted at Comic Con a year ago, and since then, has generated over 2,000,000 views on Youtube.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm totally stoked, and I can't wait to see this new Legacy on Imax on my Christmas Vacation to Colorado this year. But another film that looks just as good, but hasn't really been talked about much is the new version of the old John Wayne classic, True Grit. We all can now say Jeff Bridges has pretty much conquered it all. From a comic book character Obadiah Stane, to the original sci-fi cult classic Tron, and now coming back to that same character with Tron, AND remastering a John Wayne role? This dude has done it all. Well, not all. He's gotta be a pirate next, and then we can say he's done it all.
Maybe that might not be too far off in the future if he keeps working with Disney, and becomes buddies with Johnny Depp...who knows what can happen in Hollywood. Personally, I'd love to see Johnny and Jeff work together on maybe a 5th, or 6th pirates film, or even something else. But as of right now, Jeff is conquering the film worlds, one realm at a time.
