As reported by CinePop (translated byGoogle), “The Tron Ares trailer is a spectacle. Lots of neon and vibrant colors. A futuristic world. We see a new threat emerging. A car is split in half by a red beam. Jared Leto is scary in several insane action scenes.”
I studied the original Tron during my film degree, and I love Daft Punk, so I enjoyed their work on the Tron: Legacy soundtrack, and their cute cameo during the club scene. I’m less excited for Ares because it stars Leto, who has hadnumerous allegationslevied against him over the course of his career.
Unfortunately, we don’t have access to the trailer itself yet, but in more exciting news, CinePop wrote that Jeff Bridges would be returning to the series. He starred in the first film, playing Kevin Flynn, a video game developer who is sucked into the world of an arcade game. Tron was one of the first movies to extensively use CGI, so it has a special place in film canon.
At the end of the trailer, Bridges apparently appears and says, “Hello, Program,” to Leto’s character. He was also in Tron: Legacy, where his character seemingly sacrifices himself, so it’ll be interesting to see how he managed to survive for Tron Ares.
CinePop also says the soundtrack in the trailer was “revolutionary”, which is exciting news. It’s being composed by Nine Inch Nails. One of the band’s members, Trent Reznor, has scored a lot of films recently, including the techno-infused Challengers, so I’m eager to hear what the band has in store for us.
