Fans of Hugh Laurie's **House **- the TV show, that is, not the actual place where he lives - will have noticed the recent rise of Olivia Wilde, who has played bisexual doctor Thirteen since the fourth season.

A fine actress who also happens to be astonishingly beautiful, it was only a matter of time before Hollywood noticed the charms of the 24 year-old. And, lo and behold, today brings word that she's bagged the female lead in **TR2N **(or, depending on what you read, Tron 2.0), the eagerly-awaited sequel to Tron.

Wilde, who'll play a worker in the digital world who helps fight the evil Master Control Program, joins the already-cast Jeff Bridges, who will of course reprise his role as hacker-turned-computer-gladiator, Kevin Flynn/Clu.

Beau Garrett has become the third actor to be cast - she'll play a siren in the digital world.

Strangely, there's still no word on whether Bruce Boxleitner will return as Tron in the Joseph Kosinski-helmed movie. And news that Disney and Kosinski are screentesting actors to play the youthful male lead does not bode well for the mighty Boxleitner.

As for Wilde, eagle-eyed readers will have spotted her in the horror film, Turistas, and she has a role in the upcoming Jack Black comedy The Year One. But **TR2N **(we much prefer Tron 2.0, on the grounds that it's not confusing) will be by far her biggest role to date.
