‘TR3N: Ares‘ (Tron 3) has begun filming.
On Instagram, director Joachim Rønning shared a BTS image and the first look logo for ‘TRON 3,’ announcing the start of filming. See the image below.
Directed by Rønning, with a story by Steven Lisberger and Bonnie MacBird and a screenplay by Jesse Wigutow, the film serves as a sequel to Tron: Legacy (2010) and is the third installment in the Tron franchise. The plot details are not yet revealed.
The film stars Jared Leto as Ares, Evan Peters, Cameron Monaghan, Greta Lee, Sarah Desjardins, and Jodie Turner-Smith.
Produced by Walt Disney Pictures and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, ‘TR3N: Ares’ is produced by Jared Leto, Justin Springer, and Emma Ludbrook.
Springer, attending Walt Disney World’s All the Disney Thrills event, expressed that he believes “the right time” has come for Tron 3, after discussing the project with Comicbook.com. Springer said, “Yeah, I’m a producer on whatever the upcoming film becomes, and hopefully we’ll get to make it one day soon, but we’re still in development on it. And there’s not much that I can say about that just because we want to get everything in order and we want to make sure we have a movie that feels like it meets the ambition of the things that have come before it. So I would love to do it. And I think now the ideas that we’ve explored in Tron and where you would imagine those ideas evolving are more relevant than they’ve ever been. So it feels like the right time. And there’s a giant ride here now, and there’s one in Shanghai, but we have to get it right. We have to get the story right, and we have to get the team right. And so there’s still stuff to do before we have much to say about the movie.”
The release date for ‘TR3N: Ares’ is yet to be announced (TBA).
