Disney Releases First Look Photo From TRON: ARES
Disney has shared a first-look image from its upcoming movie Tron: Ares, which is the long-awaited third film in the Tron sci-fi franchise. The movie is being helmed by Joachim Rønning (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, Kon Tiki), and Jared Leto stars in the film.
The image came with the following statement from the director: “I’m excited to be part of the TRON franchise and bring this new film to fans around the world. TRON: Ares builds upon the legacy of cutting-edge design, technology and storytelling. Now more than ever, it feels like the right time to return to the Grid.”
The film follows a highly sophisticated Program, Ares, “who is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, marking humankind’s first encounter with A.I. beings.”
The movie also stars Cameron Monaghan (Star Wars Jedi), Evan Peters (WandaVision), Greta Lee, and Jodie Turner-Smith (Without Remorse), Greta Lee, Hasan Minhaj, Arturo Castro, and Gillian Anderson.
Jesse Wigutow and Jack Thorne wrote the script, with Sean Bailey, Jeffrey Silver, Justin Springer, Leto, Emma Ludbrook and Steven Lisberger producing alongside executive producer Russell Allen. The film is slated for release in 2025.
During a previous interview, previously director Joseph Kosinski was asked about his big directorial debut with Tron: Legacy, and during that conversation, the filmmaker revealed that he met with the director of Tron: Ares and he said that the movie is partially connected to they version of the film he was working on. He explained: “I do have a little bit [of a connection.] I met with the director of the new film, and know a little bit about the approach, because it is related partially to a version that we call Tron: Ascension. But through a different point of view. So I’m real excited to see what they do with it, and thrilled that Tron’s still alive.”
I really hope this movie turns out great! I love this freakin’ franchise! What do you think about our first look?
