FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

REBECCA ROMIJN-STAMOS REVS UP THE TRON 2.0 GAME GRID AS THE VOICE OF LIGHT CYCLE CHAMPION MERCURY

 

X-Men 2 Star Brings to Life Cyber Heroine in the Highly Anticipated First-Person Action PC Game

 

BURBANK, Calif. — (April 22, 2003) — Buena Vista Games today announced the casting of Rebecca Romijn-Stamos as the voice of Mercury in TRON® 2.0, the highly anticipated first-person action PC title scheduled for nationwide release Aug. 26.

 

Romijn-Stamos, star of the upcoming X-Men 2 film and supermodel who has graced numerous magazine covers, including Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, Victoria’s Secret and Maxim, will heat up TRON 2.0’s Game Grid as the undefeated champion light cycle racer who teams up with lead character Jet Bradley to combat corruption in the computer world. Mercury is a fearless computer artificial intelligence or “Game Bot” who was created by an unknown user to help Jet navigate the dangers of a mysterious digital world. As players travel through more than 30 enormous game levels, Mercury will provide invaluable support by “de-rezzing” a host of corrupt computer characters, including Datawraiths, Seekers and Z-Lots.

 

In development by critically acclaimed Monolith Productions, TRON 2.0 is an action-packed story-driven title inspired by TRON, the groundbreaking science-fiction motion picture. The game takes place in present day, approximately 20 years after the events of the film. Playing as Jet Bradley, son of ENCOM programmer Alan Bradley from the movie, gamers are digitized into cyberspace and will race on light cycles, battle corruption both inside and outside of the computer world, and explore locations including the Internet Hub, Firewall, Corrupted Server and Light Cycle Game Grid.

 

“Mercury plays a critical role in TRON 2.0 by helping the player, as Jet Bradley, discover his new powers as a ‘User.’ She also helps to reveal intriguing background that explains what has been happening in the digital world in the past 20 years, the last time a human was digitized in the TRON storyline,” said Bob Picunko, director of marketing, Buena Vista Games. “Rebecca’s voice adds a new dimension to the character and provides the depth that we’re looking for in a powerful female lead.”
