Garrett Hedlund attended The Greatest Premiere in Los Angeles at Linwood Dunn Theater at the Pickford Center for Motion Study on March 25, 2010.

THE GREATEST tells the story of Allen and Grace Brewer, a grief-stricken couple whose family has been pushed to the breaking point by the death of their older son, Bennett, in a car crash. When a young woman, Rose, shows up a few months later announcing that she is pregnant with Bennetts child, the Brewers are forced to take her in. At first, Roses presence threatens to tear the family even further apart but, eventually, her interaction with each of the Brewers proves to be the very thing that brings them back together.

Written and directed by Shana Feste, who also directed Love Don’t Let Me Down. I adore Garrett for supporting people he works with

An oldie but a newie.

On October 09, 2009, Garrett attended the HIFF Sloane reception at the Wolffer Estates in Sagaponack. Below, pictured with Sharon Stone.

Question: Can you talk about the character that you’re playing here? You’re Flynn’s son and we don’t really know that much more about it.

Garrett Hedlund: Well it’s pretty much, you know, film sort of takes place 20 years, after Flynn has sort of mysteriously disappeared. And starts off kind of with me. Sort of see this kid, I mean he’s the biggest shareholder in the company, you know, really at this point. And he grew up without his father. Lived with the grandparents, and Alan Bradley kind of always looked after him. You know, got him out of trouble, things like that. And then, Allen pays a visit and sort of ushers me to kind of go to Flynn’s…go to the office and check things out. And I go there. Me as Sam as a character is kind of a kid with a lot but sort of does a little with it, you know? Very reclusive and sort of, you know, kind of in his own, introverted and things like that I guess. And sort of does all these kind of extreme things just because he can. You know, he’s very interested in base jumping and motorcycles and the container home by the water with the wonderful view. And he grew up without his father and is now kind of going to search or find his father. And once he gets into this world it’s, he was right all this time. And then there’s the light bikes and the discs and the game grid and all this sort of stuff comes to play.

You get to do a lot of physical stuff too in the film?

Hedlund: Yeah, initially when we started this, I started the first week in January. Started with motorcycle training and getting my license and after the hour and a half of motorcycle training, I’d drive over to 8711 where the stunt coordinator David Leach, that’s his compound. And so we’d do the fight training there; we’d do, you know, sort of exercises and jumps. And do that for an hour and a half and a lot of hand-to-hand combat. And then trained with the trainer Logan Hood who, you know, sort of trained all the 300 guys for Jeff Silver. And trained with him for an hour, intensive training so. The two months of that felt like I’d already filmed the film. And now we come on to this and we got to continue and keep it up. But everything is great sort of abilities to acquire.

As the boys finish running through “Words I Couldn’t Say,” in walks a tall, rugged guy in a baseball cap and a plaid jacket who immediately commands the room. Though 25-year-old Garrett Hedlund isn’t yet a household name, his face is more than vaguely familiar. He’s played supporting roles in Friday Night Lights (alongside Tim McGraw there, as well), Four Brothers, Eragon and Troy. Come December, you and just about everyone you know will recognize him as the lead from Tron Legacy, the highly anticipated sequel to the 1982 cult classic.

Here Hedlund plays Beau Hutton, a Nashville country singer who’s been tapped (along with Meester’s character) to open for superstar Kelly Cantor (Paltrow) on her comeback tour. His backing band also serves as Meester’s in the film. Because she wants Hedlund and his band to have the unforced camaraderie and comfort of dudes who’ve logged long hours together in close quarters, director Feste nudged them into the rehearsal space.

Wilson puts on “Hard Out Here,” one of three “Beau Hutton originals” penned by Texan songwriter Hayes Carll — who, coincidentally enough, bears a slight physical resemblance to Hedlund. (In fact, director Feste later explains that much of the Hutton character’s appearance was modeled after Carll.) “Hard Out Here” is an old-school honky-tonk shuffle in the vein of the two King Georges, Jones and Strait.

The gravelly baritone coming from the speakers, though, is Hedlund’s. He, Meester and Paltrow all performed their own vocals, and Hedlund’s here to make sure his performance is natural in a scene with Wilson & Co.

The list for this movie is getting shorter. The only ones left on the list is Mike Vogel, Chris Evans & Garrett Hedlund.

Garrett Hedlund has not tested yet though Marvel is very keen on him. Earlier reports have suggested Hedlund’s reps balked at the nine-picture deal the actor playing Cap would have to sign, a deal that would include The Avengers and any of those possible sequels. The Avengers could begin filming as soon as January 2011.

What are your thoughts? Do you want Garrett to be Captain America? 9 same roles?

The trailer for “Tron Legacy” is currently playing in front of theatrical showings of “Alice in Wonderland.” And while it’s officially set to be released online this week, a very blurry bootleg version has already appeared. Check it out below and stay tuned for the hi-res trailer.

For those who cannot wait to catch the trailer at the movies! See it above!

The animated “Tron” TV show rumors were true, Disney confirmed on Tuesday evening during their upfront presentation. As we mentioned before, the series will be geared towards kids aged 6-14 and we will have to wait until late 2011/early 2012 for the show.

Tron fans do have something to look forward to though. Before they release full episodes of the animated series in fall of 2010, they will release a a 10-part “Tron” micro-series on Disney XD.

No word yet on whether or not Garrett will be apart of this but it’s interesting nonetheless. If the movies become a trilogy this series will most likely tie into the third installment- with that in mind, assuming Garrett’s continuous involvement- will you all be watching? If he decides not to continue, will you still watch? Let us know in the comments!

The final image before the trailer premiere tomorrow!

From Total Film:

Today we present the fourth and final exclusive Tron Legacy image… and this one features a disappearing act.

The first and second images showed Sam Flynn (Garret Hedlund) approach the derclict Flynn’s Arcade, to investigate his father’s disappearance 25 years ago.

Yesterday, the third image showed Sam inside the abandoned amusement den, featuring dust covered arcade games eerily lit up as he walks past.

And today… well we can now see the titular Tron game cabinet, but crucially, no Sam…

Perhaps he’s just bent down out of shot to tie his shoelace…

But maybe, just maybe, Sam Flynn has fulfilled his Legacy and entered the game, to join his father (Jeff Bridges) in the ultimate face-off against Tony Blair (Michael Sheen).

No word yet on whether Sheen’s character will be called Tony Blair, but we do know he’ll be the bad guy in Tron, and he’ll at least look like the former PM.

Trailer to follow next week. We may just pass out from excitement!

Does everyone have their tickets for “Alice”? Even if you don’t plan to see the movie, go for the trailer! It’s going to be worth it!  Who’s excited?!
