So, without that training and the physical element of the transformation, I wouldn’t have been able to capture who she really is. This is how she walks.” She’s the kind of person who could protect herself, if she were jumped on a dark street. I was doing a tremendous amount of research on Joan of Arc and Buddhist warriors, and all sorts of things that informed who she was, but it wasn’t until I had physically transformed through the martial arts training and cross-training, and everything else we were doing, that I was like, “Oh, this is how she feels. I enjoy the physicality because it was a tool with which to unlock who Quorra was. I’m optimistic about what technology can do.ĭid you enjoy the physicality of this role? How much more challenging was it to do these stunts in heels? It’s saying, “Technology has taken over and we are slaves to technology, so now what? Can we escape this? Can we recapture what it is to be human and appreciate that, and harness the technology we have created for good?” I think that’s what Kevin Flynn has dreamt of doing, but he became swallowed up by his own creation, and Clu is just a symptom of that. Now, 30 years later, the film is not asking that question. The question of the first Tron movie was, “What would happen if technology overtook our lives and this new thing became more powerful than us?” That was the premise. Any sci-fi film of the last 20 years is really about monkey versus robot, but Tron is, in a way that none of the rest of them are. The philosophy of Tron, for me, really is summed up by the question of monkey versus robot, and that’s what a lot of these movies are about, like Terminator. He’s an avatar, and he’ll only ever be that because there’s a limit to what programs can be, and that is what frustrates and enrages Clu. He’s been created out of this beautiful program that Flynn designed, in order to be a partner to Flynn, but he’s not his real son. Olivia: Yes, but only because it’s our fault. What is your impression of Clu and how he represents technology coming in between humanity? Is that your take on it?
