I think it's because the fashion, look, and feel of TRON is very timely. Olivia Wilde: Yes, it's crazy, because two years ago, we were discussing the impact that TRON would have on the fashion world. ![]() Do you think the film will inspire new fashion trends? They said, "Oh my God! Quorra has to laugh like that at wrong moments." That opened my mind to other characteristics, as well.Ĭomplex: The fashion in TRON: Legacy, and especially the look of your character, is pretty wild. I have a very nerdy, cackly laugh, which I usually like to change when I'm in movies. I remember we were shooting this dinner scene, and by accident I just cracked up in the middle of the scene. She behaves in a very un-self-conscious way, and I loved that about her! I was so excited that the entire creative team wanted me to go even further with that. She's been around in the TRON world for hundreds of years. She's not inexperienced because she's really old. She has what they call in Buddhism a "beginner's mind," where everything is experienced for the first time and seen with such optimism and appreciation. She's naïve in the way that we should all try to stay naïve. Olivia Wilde: I think she's naïve in the best sense of the word. I was very interested in that depth of this character, who on the outside is very sexy and intense-looking, but on the inside is this very innocent child.Ĭomplex: Do you think she's naïve in some ways? So he keeps calling her "man" and "dude," and suddenly the helmet recedes and she is this very childlike little girl. She arrives in this light-buggy, saves him, and is wearing this incredible helmet that warps her voice. Initially, when Sam meets her, he doesn't know if she's a man or a woman. I so didn't want to have the long, flowing mane that'd get in her way when she's trying to fight. I was so excited that everyone involved agreed on her having this almost androgynous haircut. Olivia Wilde: In movies this big, decisions like that go all the way to the top-everyone has input on hair. ![]() This year, actually, before the movie even came out, I saw a girl dressed up as Quorra, and I was so happy! I took pictures of her and sent them to Joe, like, "We've done it!"Ĭomplex: What's up with her short haircut? I want all girls to be Quorra for Halloween. I wanted her to inspire young women to feel tough and embrace both their intelligence and sexiness. I didn't want her to be this slinky, sexy thing who looks hot in the suit, and the boys like but the girls feel alienated from, and they don't understand. Olivia Wilde: I really wanted her to appeal to both men and women. Was that your intention? She's still really damn hot, though. So once I kind of made that connection, everything that followed in creating her character, including the physicality, all came from that.Ĭomplex: What's interesting about Quorra is that she's not your typical sci-fi heroine, made out to be overly sexy. ![]() She was this fearless child who seemed to have this power that came from another world, from a higher power, who was guided only by passion and selflessness. We were so excited to finally have a historical figure to reference, and the reason I came to Joan of Arc was because, like Quorra, Joan of Arc was this unlikely warrior. Very early on, we discovered that Quorra was Joan of Arc-that was our big discovery. I credit Joe Kosinski with being so collaborative when it came to creating Quorra. Were you able to provide any input into how Quorra would look and act? Try to stop daydreaming about showing Quorra your lightsaber for a second and listen up as the actress discusses her nerd laugh, appealing to other women, and what tight outfit your girlfriend should wear next Halloween.Ĭomplex: With a huge movie like TRON: Legacy, you'd think that the studio controls everything. Known for her role on Fox's hit show House, she's heading into a 2011 packed with movie roles, including a prominent one in Iron Man director Jon Favreau's summer tentpole Cowboys vs. ![]() The stunning Megan Fox once told GQ that Wilde is "so sexy she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands." Not exactly the visual we were hoping for, but we'll take it.įor Wilde, TRON: Legacy represents the turning of the key as her career heads into overdrive. To that list you can now add Olivia Wilde, who makes her sexy sci-fi debut this Friday in TRON: Legacy, playing Quorra, a childlike computer program that's proficient in fisticuffs. Back in the 1970s and early '80s, geeks launched pocket rockets for Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) in Star Wars, the same way they fantasized about threeways with sentient Battlestar Galactica robots Numbers Six (Tricia Helfer) and Eight (Grace Park) from 2004-2009. Science fiction has seen its fair share of knockouts.
