Director Joseph Kosinski says: Part of the budget for the film went towards the cutting-edge technology that allowed Jeff Bridges to play his character Kevin Flynn,and a digital avatar Clu 2.0,which resembles Flynn as he was in his mid- 30s. For a moment,you buy this thing as a real character (Clu 2.0),which to me is very exciting.
