In 1982, Steven Lisberger changed the landscape for effects-driven cinema with Tron<\/a>. In 2010, Joseph Kosinski (whatever happened to that guy, huh?) changed the game again with Tron Legacy<\/a>, a smartly formulated, visually dazzling reboot-cum-legacy sequel set to the throbbing beats of Daft Punk. Now, 15 years later, Joachim R\u00f8nning is picking up the bright neon torch to push the envelope once again with Tron: Ares<\/a>, a movie that’s set to see worlds collide as, for the first time in the franchise’s history, we’re not heading to the Grid \u2014 the Grid’s heading for us. Check out the eye-popping new trailer below;<\/p>\n

Now there’s a trailer! Nine Inch Nails going, per their own words<\/a>, ‘grittier and more industrial’ with the score; the wizards at ILM coming in clutch as they rise to the challenge of working on ‘the Holy Grail of computer graphics<\/a>‘; Jared Leto slipping into the role of Pinocchio-like AI super soldier Ares<\/a> with preternatural, dead-eyed ease; and, in what is easily the most whoop-worthy moment of the whole thing, Jeff Bridges making his grand return as Flynn despite having seemingly gone, er, offline at the end of Legacy. (“New shit has come to light,” teased Bridges of Flynn’s return<\/a> when we spoke to the Dude himself for our Tron: Ares issue<\/a>.) It honestly looks like everything you could ever want from a Tron movie \u2014 a visually striking, sonically thumping, techno-philosophically engaged look at where we are right now and where we might be heading next as the line between sci-fi and sci-fact gets ever blurrier.<\/p>\n

The very, very brief synopsis for Tron: Ares, whose stacked ensemble elsewhere includes Jodie Turner-Smith<\/a>, Greta Lee, Gillian Anderson, and Evan Peters, reads as follows: “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\u2019s first encounter with A.I. beings.”<\/p>\n

How is Flynn back? Who will stop Ares? What happens when The Grid heads offline and onto terra firma? And can we please get a NIN tour playing the score for this in its entirety? We’ll get the answers to at least some of these questions when Tron: Ares lightcycles into multiplexes on 10 October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In 1982, Steven Lisberger changed the landscape for effects-driven cinema with Tron.
