Disney already attempted to revive the world of TRON in the 2010 sequel, TRON: LEGACY, which starred Jeff Bridges and Garrett Hedlund in a modernized story that delivered stunning visuals and killer music, though the story was a bit disjointed, and the visual effects met with mixed results from audiences. I enjoyed it, but I could also tell it wasn’t going to resonate with everyone. The new attempt is TRON: ARES, which brings back Bridges, and puts Jared Leto in the lead, focusing on a story that somehow takes the game world of The Grid into the real world in what appears to be a very dangerous way. It’s directed by Joachim Rønning, and co-stars Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan and Gillian Anderson. Check out the first trailer, fresh from Cinemacon, and tell us your thoughts in the comments.
