Disney’s “Tron: Ares” To Begin Filming
After more than 40 years since the original film was released and after several cancellations, the most notable being in 2015, where Garrett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde would have returned as Sam Flynn and Quorra respectively, Tron 3, which we already know will be Tron: Ares, is going from strength to strength and is doing so driven by its director, Joachim Rønning, who was also in charge of Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge as well as Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. Its filming, as Collider has progressed, is will resume after the Christmas holidays.
Who will we see in Tron: Ares?
Although the details of the plot are still somewhat vague, we do know that it will revolve around artificial intelligence and what it means and is required to be human, recovering the words of the scriptwriter himself on his Instagram account in the publication where he announced that production was taking a break due to strikes.
The Tron: Ares script is by Jesse Wigutow and is considered the sequel to Tron: Legacy, which was directed by Top Gun: Maverick‘s Joe Kosinski.
We also already know that Jared Leto will lead a cast where we can also enjoy the performances of Evan Peters (Kick-Ass), Jodie Turner-Smith (No Remorse) and Greta Lee (Past Lives), who will play a video game designer and president of a technology company. Likewise, Cameron Monaghan, known for his role as Ian Gallagher in the comedy-drama Shameless and his double role as the twins Jerome and Jeremiah Valeska in the series Gotham, has also recently joined the cast, but who many of you will know for being the voice and image by Cal Kestis in several of the later Star Wars games.
What is Tron about?
The Tron saga is a science fiction franchise that explores the interaction between the real world and a digital universe. Beginning with programmer Kevin Flynn being transported into cyberspace, he faces challenges within a computerized world called World of Tron. The story addresses the fight between good and evil programs, while exploring themes of virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and the duality between the physical and the digital. Throughout the saga, the adventures within this virtual environment and the ethical and social conflicts that arise in this alternative reality are delved into.
