As if we weren't already excited enough about a sequel to Tron, news breaks that House's Olivia Wilde is the first actor to sign on - and star as a sexy worker drone.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Wilde ("Thirteen" in Fox's medical drama, although she'll always be Seth Cohen's girlfriend Alex to me) will play "a worker in the virtual world who tries to help fight Master Control Program, the villainous intelligence protocol that was the nemesis in the original film," while 4: Rise Of The Silver Surfer's Beau Garrett has also signed up for the movie, and will play the (as-yet uncast) male lead's cybernetic love interest inside the computer world.

I may not be so excited to see Garrett fail to emote once more, but Wilde's involvement ensures that I'll be waiting in line on opening day, fingers crossed that there's no Mischa Barton cameo to ruin everything one more time.
