Yesterday Michael Sheen, Olivia Wilde, Garrett Hedlund, Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner were at Comic-Con 2010. The ‘Tron Legacy’ panel was one of the hottest of the day.
Patton Oswalt appeared onstage to moderate. “Welcome, furries!” he announced to the crowd before adding, “Sorry, that’s something I’m doing later.”
He also joked about a viral shirtless Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner knife fight tonight, the secret location of which will soon be revealed.
