  • Go back to the Grid in TRON: Ares trailer

    An AI program enters the real world in TRON: Ares.

    It’s difficult to underestimate the massive influence that Disney’s 1982 cult science fiction film, TRON, had on both the film industry—thanks to combining live action with what were then groundbreaking visual effects, rife with computer-generated imagery—and on nerd culture at large.  Over the ensuing decades there has been one sequel, an animated TV series, a comic book miniseries, video games, and theme park attractions, all modeled on director Steve Lisberg’s original fictional world.

    Now we’re getting a third installment in the film franchise: TRON: Ares, directed by Joachim Rønning (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil), that serves as a standalone sequel to 2010’s TRON: Legacy. Disney just released the first trailer and poster art, and while the footage is short on plot, it’s got the show-stopping visuals we’ve come to expect from all things TRON.

  • Worlds collide in new Tron: Ares trailer

    It’s been 15  years since Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund) and Quorra (Olivia Wilde) escaped from the Grid in Tron: Legacy. A third Tron film was in development that would have continued Sam and Quorra’s story, but it was ultimately canceled. According to director Joseph Kosinski, that movie would have featured the real world facing an invasion from the Grid. Some of that plot has been retained for the upcoming film, Tron: Ares, and that’s readily apparent in the new trailer that features lightcycles wrecking havoc in our world.

    More alarmingly, a Recognizer – a digital warship from both of the previous Tron movies – has also crossed over to the real world. The way it plays in the trailer is like more a serious version of the movie Pixels, except the Recognizer dwarfs everything around it. And it doesn’t appear that conventional weaponry is having any effect on it.

    Ares is a standalone sequel that doesn’t directly callback to the events of Legacy. Tron (Bruce Boxleitner) also appears to be completely absent from this story. However, the voice of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) – the hero of the first film and Sam Flynn’s father – can be heard in the trailer telling someone that “there’s no going back.” He may be speaking to Ares (Jared Leto), the title character of the film who has traveled to the real world on a mission of his own. If Flynn’s words can be taken literally, it may be a one-way trip for Ares. But he’s clearly not the only one who crossed over.

    Evan Peters, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, Cameron Monaghan, Sarah Desjardins, Hasan Minhaj, Arturo Castro, and Gillian Anderson round out the cast of the film. Joachim Rønning directed the movie from a script by Jesse Wigutow and Jack Thorne (Adolescence). Nine Inch Nails will provide the score.

     Tron: Ares will hit theaters on October 10.
