Uprising bridges the narrative gap between the original TRON movie and TRON: Legacy. Based on early footage from the show (which looks quite gorgeous), it imitates the aesthetic of the latter film, rather than the 1980s original – or, say, takes a hybrid approach, like that in Daft Punk’s “Derezzed” music video.

The TRON TV spinoff follows Beck (voice of Elijah Wood), an idealistic, young program who leads a revolution against the imperialistic reign of Clu (Fred Tatasciore, reprising his role from the TRON: Evolution video game). Serving as Beck’s mentor is the legendary Tron (Bruce Boxleitner), who helps the would-be revolutionary become a wise and capable player in the struggle to restore freedom to the people (programs?) of The Grid.

Rounding out the voice cast for TRON: Uprising are fan-faves like Paul Reubens and Lance Henricksen (Aliens), along with Mandy Moore, Emmauelle Chriqui, Reginald VelJohnson and Nathan Corddry, among others.

TRON: Uprising begins airing on Disney XD next month on June 7th, 2012, following the premiere of a half-hour “prelude” titled Tron: Uprising – Beck’s Beginning on the Disney Channel on May 18th.

According to Kate, who we caught up with last night at the New York City launch party for Salvatore Ferragamo’s new fragrance Signorina, she would love for Hayden to reappear in Season 2.

“I would love to [come back]. I’m doing another show so it would depend on whether or not we could work out both schedules, but I would love nothing more than to come back,” she said.

Could those steamy scenes with co-star Dylan McDermott have something to do with her eagerness to return? Not so much.

“Honestly, kissing someone on a TV show is the same as having to scream at someone on a TV show,” she told us. “It’s just as weird and awkward.”

Sorry to break it to you, Kate, but we’re sensing lots more awkward on-set moments in your future. The 29-year-old actress just nabbed a principal role in the upcoming political thriller House of Cards, which is scheduled to premiere on Netflix later this year.

“Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright play a married couple, and he’s a congressman and he’s trying to become the president,” she dished. “And I play a young reporter who kind of strikes a deal with him.”

We told Kate we’d be willing to switch roles and let her interview us for practice, but she was apparently taking notes the whole time.

“I’m learning a lot from you right this second!” she shouted, before disappearing into the crowd.
