Tron: Ares - All Information, Leaks, and Pictures

Greetings, Program!

I’m starting a thread for the Tron: Ares movie to share info, leaks, and pics. It’ll be a hub for all movie-related updates and discussions. And how it could, one day, translate into a pinball!

I guess I'm just tired of chasing after leaks that are not coming! Looking forward to your contributions and insights.

Feel free to tweak it to fit the vibe. Happy posting!

Let the games begin!

Tidy bit of cool info.. cameras being used on Tron: Ares. I didn't know they actually made custom cameras when filming. I guess it's one of the many reasons budgets are so high!

It's got Gillian Anderson, that's good enough for me! But, yeah, kind of the last chance for Leto in a big production, imo..

Getting excited for this one. Hope it’s good. Yeah I’m nervous about Leto too. And without Daft Punk, I have my reservations about this movie. I love Legacy, but this one has a big shoes to fill.

Now that's interesting. Do you think there's a chance they'll sneak Cillian Murphy in as the villain, or is he too busy polishing all his acting awards?

I was a huge fan of the original when it was new, I watched it again a few years ago and it didn't hold up for me. I do love Legacy, and I was bummed that it didn't do well enough to get a proper sequel in a timely manner.

Don't really have very high expectations for this 3rd one though.

It did actually do quite well, and the merchandising was CRAZY successful for a 'smaller' movie. But Disney had just bought Star Wars and Marvel recently, and Tron got lost in the shuffle.

Based on what little we know right now, my top three concerns about this movie are:

1. Jared Leto
2. Jared Leto
3. This synopsis makes it sound like they're turning the formula of the previous movies on its head, i.e. it's about a digital being traveling into the real world instead of vice versa.

Let’s add Joachim Rønning to that list. The other sequels he directed for Disney, Pirates of the Caribbean:Dead Men Tell No Tales and Maleficent:Mistress of Evil, were not very good.

Yup, expect tons of cgi and probably a few new technologies when filming. Also, Vancouver is host to several movies and TV series because they have the crews, equipment and sets. Productions also enjoy government subsidies.

Different point of view about the upcoming movie in Giant Freakin Robot: "Tron Ares Is Doomed To Fail For So Many Reasons"

As much as the author wants the sequel to be successful, he writes that there’s a lot working against this thing. Namely:

1) Are We Forgetting About The Grid? Based on the current script, a lot of the movie won’t even take place in The Grid. Seems they don't really understands what fans love about the Tron franchise

2) Why Does It Have To Be Morbin Time? Jared Leto. Morbius. Enough said.

3) The Director Does Not Inspire He's made Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. While not outright bad films, they’re not very good either.

4) No More Daft Punk. Tron Legacy had a banger soundtrack. But, we don’t even know who is doing the score for the film yet. And, as many Tron fans would agree, this is a crucial piece of the puzzle.

*****

Now, I somewhat agree with what he's saying, but I'm still looking forward to see Tron Ares. I wish they'd brought back some of the original crew, maybe they will as some plot twist?

And Disney does have the $$$ power to convince the two robots to come back for one last collaboration.

Being hopefull!! In the meantime, I'll keep flipping my Tron Pro!

It feels way too much like Matrix 3, and we all know how that went... hopefully they come up with some better stories than that. The only redeeming part of that ENTIRE movie was the last 15 minutes

I certainly see that in his Joker character where everyone hated him, but what about things like lord or war, dallas buyers club, requiem, or in his wework limited run? Also, whether it's "him" he's playing or if he's acting like everyone else in the world, he was fairly solid in the little things as well I think.I just don't hate him like everyone else seems to and I still don't get it, but it is what it is.

I don’t think he’s a bad actor or anything - Dallas buyer’s, Requiem (shudder) were all great performances, but I haven’t seen him do anything like that in quite a while. The reputation precedes him at this point (for me, I guess)

So they are following through with the bad idea at the end of the movie that the programs would attack the real world? My assumption, since the sequel has been in limbo for so long, was that it's impossible to make that script work.

Having said that, I've loved every Tron so far.

The leaving the grid thing just really kills any interest in this. The world of the Grid is what sold the previous films to me.

Quoted from jrcmlc:

His creepy cult he runs with under age girls is kind of a big problem. Many in Hollywood calling him out as a creep and an asshole hasn't helped.

As well as just he is movie poison, he's in one stinker after another, and no one understands how he keeps getting major roles when he's in flop after flop. And he's just not a good actor.
