First Teaser Released For Tron: Ares | popgeeks.com
Tron: Ares is here…literally. The first released trailer from Disney confirms what’s been a rumored premise for months: Programs are escaping into the real world.
Cops are in pursuit of a speeder on the highway, but there’s not much they can do when it turns out to be a light cycle whose wall carves their car in half. Recognizers are descending on our cities and smashing skyscrapers. We need help…we need the guy in the title! But it looks like he’s not available, so we’ll settle for the guy in the subtitle.
“Tron: Ares 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,” reads Disney’s synopsis. There’s nothing here implying he’s sinister…at least not yet. Tron: Legacy hinted at the potential of Programs crossing over into reality, and it looks like Tron: Ares will continue to explore the possibilities of that (plus, we imagine it’s cheaper to shoot in “real” environments).
That being said, I hope we get more of the computer world than what’s implied here. Part of Tron’s whole appeal is its neon-glow, retro-futuristic aesthetic that’s unique to itself. It’d be annoying if we had to wait this long to return there and barely got a glimpse of it.
Tron: Ares stars Jared Leto as the main character, along with Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, and Gillian Anderson. Joachim Rønning is serving as director and the film will boot up in theaters October 10.
