Aaron Paul plays Al in the video and watch for a cameo from the accordion player himself at 00:49!

Olivia tweeted, “Oscars, here we come.” yesterday.

The fact that Olivia can so easily joke like this, makes me adore her even more!

We heard yesterday from “Tron Legacy” director Joseph Kosinski the recommendation that fans first check out the trailer for his December sequel in 3-D — it premieres it front of “Alice in Wonderland” this weekend — before downloading it next week onto smaller, flatter screens. Star Olivia Wilde could have checked out the trailer last night with some contingent of her fellow cast and crew mates, but she was busy looking beautiful on the red carpet at the 2010 Independent Spirit Awards.

“They’re all [going around] tonight, and going into all the theaters where ‘Alice” is playing, and watching the trailer and seeing the audience reaction, and running to the next one,” she said, the envy clear in her voice. I’m sad to miss that because it sounds fun, but I’ll see it at some point.”

It’s not like the involved players have been restricted from seeing their “Legacy” work in progress. Wilde just isn’t interested in checking it out… yet.

“I don’t really want to [see unfinished footage],” she explained to MTV’s Josh Horowitz on the Spirits red carpet last night. “They’ve been very cool about involving us in the process and allowing us to see stuff, but I kind of want to wait until the effects are in, because I want to be taken to another place just as the audience will be. I’m waiting for that moment.”

“Jon Favreau likes to describe it as a mashup — he loves mashups when it comes to music,” Wilde told MTV News. “So this is kind of a film mashup. I think that’s cool, and it hasn’t really been done that much before.”

Next time we get Jon Favreau on the line, we’ll have to ask him who he likes better — Girl Talk or Steinski — and whose work “Cowboys and Aliens” will resemble. Wilde talked up all sorts of opposing elements in the movie to back up her mix-master praise. She mentioned big special effects, but credited the producers for maintaining a story-driven focus.

“With producers like Steven Spielberg and Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, these are people who really care about the story, and they care about wonderment and imagination and celebrating that,” Wilde explained. “That’s what this movie’s going to do. It’s going to have awesome effects, but Jon Favreau and everyone else are concentrating on making a great story.”

And above all, she called it “interesting.”

“I think that’s a film that’s going to be interesting for a lot of reasons,” she said. “It’s very different. Western enthusiasts will be happy. Sci-fi enthusiasts will also be happy.”

Opening with a surprisingly effective 3-D version of the green MPAA rating, the teaser follows with Disney’s 3-D Magic Castle logo which fades into a computerized counterpart.

We hear voiceover from Bruce Boxleitner as Alan Bradley, explaining to Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund) that, last night, he traced a call from Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) back to Flynn’s Arcade, closed for 20 years and Flynn missing as long. Sam is suspicious, telling Alan that it’s not as though he’s going to find his dad sitting there working.

We see the arcade as Sam enters, making his way to the TRON machine against the back wall. A familiar sight to those who attended the arcade viral event at Comic-Con, Sam kneels down and notices that the console is on an axis and, spinning it open, reveals a hidden passage behind the arcade wall.

In a back room, we’re shown an over-the-device shot of the digitizing laser pointed at Sam and suddenly we cut to the inside of the computer world and an extreme long shot of a Recognizer landing and exteriors of the computer city, far more detailed and “real world” than anything from the first film,; imagine Fritz Lang directing Blade Runner with an extra dose of colored neon.

There are a number of flashes of locations and people; Olivia Wilde’s Quorra lying in a lounge chair, her battling with Sam using neon blue discs (very different looking than the discs in the original), a White-haired most-likely villain (who may very well have been Michael Sheen; Kosinksi said that he was in the trailer and that his character is barely recognizable) and a shot of young Jeff Bridges.

We hear a brief bit of dialogue between father and son as Sam asks, “Dad?” and Flynn responds,”Son?”

“Long time,” says Sam.

“You have no idea,” says Flynn.

The logo comes up and is followed by a quick shot of two battling light cycles.

At the conclusion of the trailer, Kosinski took to the stage and announced, “I drove half an hour and I’m not leaving ’til we see it again!”

Because of the nature of the IMAX print, the trailer took nearly 25 minutes to rewind (which, unfortunately, is why other cities were denied a second viewing). In the intervening period, Kosinski answered questions from fans, distributing signed Tron Legacy posters to all who asked a question.

Of note from Kosinski’s comments:

Though Cindy Morgan is not in the film, “that doesn’t mean she isn’t in the world of TRON.” This was one of several purposefully vague comments from Kosinski, mostly likely pointing to Morgan being involved with an upcoming viral event.

When someone asked about Daft Punk having an actual role in the movie, Kosinksi responded with, “Yeah,” before adding with a definite wink, “[They're] in the movie. Their music is all over it.”

The music in the teaser is a Daft Punk track, written exclusively for the trailer. The alleged leaked track from a month back was not real.

Some sort of live Daft Punk show is still being planned as cross-promotion for the film, but Kosinski did not go into any specifics.

Sheen’s character is a nightclub owner in the computer world. His name, never before revealed, is Caster, though the spelling of that is uncertain.

When asked whether or not Disneyland would get a Flynn’s Arcade, Kosinski smiled and said, “There are many things in the future. They are coming.”

Though Bit will not feature in the film, there will be a more advanced right hand information officer for Flynn called Jarvis.

At the conclusion of the second showing of the teaser, “Flynn Lives” T-shirts were handed out in the lobby. One fan, Tim Tran, announced that he had made a nine-hour drive from northern California and that the teaser had absolutely been worth it.

Tran, who joked that growing up with two sisters prevented him from getting his fill of TRON as a kid, said that he also attended Comic-Con last year to visit Flynn’s Arcade and plans on following Tron Legacy’s viral chase right up until the film’s release.

Tron Legacy opens in 3D theaters and IMAX 3D on December 17, 2010. You can see the trailer for yourself in front of Alice in Wonderland starting on March 5.

The DreamWorks projects is based on a Platinum Studios Comics graphic novel by Fred Van Lente and Andrew Foley. It is set to star Daniel Craig (Casino Royale) and Olivia Wilde (TV’s House M.D.) and explores what would have happened if aliens had landed in the Wild West.

Based on the Platinum Studios title written by Fred Van Lente and Andrew Foley, the sci-fi Western explores what would happen if the traditional Old West enemies — cowboys and Native Americans — found the prairie attacked by aliens in mid-1800s Arizona.

Wilde will play a character named Ella who joins up with the mysterious gunslinger (Craig).

Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are producing and wrote the script with Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof. Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard and Brian Grazer are also producing along with Scott Mitchell Rosenberg. Favreau and Denis Stewart are serving as executive producers.

Talking to Entertainment Weekly, Wilde admits that while she feels a little “stability” on the team’s composition now – especially if practical jokes are to be any indication, regardless of whether they succeed or not – there’s still no telling if this team will stick around longer.

“I think you’ll see a bit of stability now,” she says. “But no one’s ever safe on the House team though, and that’s what kind of makes it interesting. We’re always proving ourselves to him. And if we are ever completely comfortable in our jobs, then we lose that kind of anticipation and anxiety that keeps it interesting.”

If we need more assurance of this new team, House executive producer Katie Jacobs says she’s thinking about changing the series’ opening title sequence to include Wilde and Jacobson.

“I think they should be part of it,” she says. “In season 4, people said, ‘Are you going to change the credits once you decide on who you are adding to the team?’ and I felt like it was awkward to switch in the middle of the season. I could have done it season 5. I certainly didn’t want to change anything at the start of season 6 because we opened so differently. But now I am thinking about it.”

On the last episode of House, the team, House (Hugh Laurie) and Thirteen alongside Taub (Peter Jacobson), Chase (Jesse Spencer), and Foreman (Omar Epps), handled the case of someone who turned out to be an informant working with drug dealers. On the sidelines, Thirteen, Taub, and Chase tried to play a practical joke on Foreman involving pay checks.
