After an impressive unveiling at CinemaCon, Disney has officially released the highly anticipated Tron: Ares trailer and captivating poster, creating excitement among fans and newcomers alike.
One of the standout moments at this year’s CinemaCon was the exclusive preview of early footage from Tron: Ares. This exhilarating experience was made even more special when lead actor Jared Leto took a moment to honor his legendary co-star Jeff Bridges (known for his iconic role as Flynn). Bridges expressed his enthusiasm for the film, particularly the fact that the score is crafted by the renowned band Nine Inch Nails. The audience responded enthusiastically to the footage, and now Disney has graciously made the CinemaCon trailer available online for all to enjoy. Be sure to check it out in the embedded link above.
The official synopsis reveals a gripping narrative: “TRON: Ares” centers around an advanced digital program named Ares, who embarks on a perilous mission from the virtual realm into the real world, marking humanity’s inaugural interaction with artificial intelligence beings.
Disney’s endeavor to revive the Tron franchise is always intriguing, given its profound impact on the film industry despite not achieving significant box office success. The original Tron, released in 1982, was a groundbreaking film utilizing extensive CGI technology, though it faced commercial challenges. Its sequel, Tron: Legacy, released in 2010, garnered more hype and nearly broke even, yet it ultimately fell short of the blockbuster status the studio anticipated.
Nevertheless, Disney is set to take another bold step with Tron: Ares, which benefits from two significant advancements. First, the evolution of CGI animation over the past fifteen years has been remarkable, allowing for more immersive storytelling. Second, the themes surrounding artificial intelligence are now more pertinent and thought-provoking than ever, resonating with contemporary audiences. This could be the Tron installment that finally makes a substantial impact in popular culture.
Mark your calendars, as Tron: Ares is scheduled for release on October 10th. Directed by Joachim Rønning of Kon-Tiki fame, the film features a stellar cast including Jared Leto, Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Gillian Anderson, and the beloved Jeff Bridges.
