An official trailer for the long-awaited sequel to 2010’s Tron Legacy, Tron: Ares, has dropped. It sees Jared Leto portray 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 original 1982 film’s star, Jeff Bridges, is heard in the trailer’s voiceover: “Ready? Because there’s no going back.” This trailer release follows Leto and Bridges introducing a teaser at CinemaCon last week.
Bridges starred in the original Tron as a video game designer who is transported inside his own creation and teams up with Tron, a security program. The 2010 sequel brought back Bridges but took on a generational approach to the story by bringing in new characters. Tron: Ares, however, will focus on the emergence of a sentient program in the human world.
The project is directed by Joachim Rønning (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil) from a script by Jesse Wigutow and Jack Thorne. The movie also stars Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan and Gillian Anderson. Leto, Sean Bailey, Jeffrey Silver, Justin Springer, Emma Ludbrook and Steven Lisberger produce, while Russell Allen executive produces. The famed rock band Nine Inch Nails is scoring the film.
The film releases in cinemas on October 10th. Check out the Tron: Ares trailer below:
