The men’s hotlist for autumn 2010

One to watch The American actor Garrett Hedlund, 25, has the weight of expectation on his shoulders as the star of the most anticipated blockbuster this year: Tron: Legacy, the long-dreamt-of sequel to the 1982 film Tron, at cinemas in December. Hedlund plays the tech-savvy son of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), who finds himself drawn into a cyber universe where his missing father has been living for 25 years. Together they must navigate their way through gladiatorial games to survive. And Hedlund, who made his screen debut as Patroclus in 2004’s Troy, hones his cult credentials even further in Walter Salles’s adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s novel On the Road, in which he plays Dean Moriarty.
