Ares’ Trailer That Goes Heavy on Jeff Bridges

There are a whole lot of massive names in the cast of Tron: Ares however, actually, there’s one that actually sells the film. That’s Jeff Bridges. Bridges, in fact, starred within the first Tron over 40 years in the past, as well as its sequel, Tron: Legacy, 15 years in the past. His character, Kevin Flynn, is the important thing to all the pieces that has occurred on this story, and whereas Tron: Ares doesn’t seem to be about him, the actual fact he’s in it in any respect is a serious promoting level.

That’s why we actually loved this new trailer launched by Disney. It’s heavy on Bridges, although a lot of that is available in through footage from the primary two films. There’s a bit of latest stuff from this film, out October 10, however we’re guessing he’s not in it that a lot. Nonetheless, his presence offers the movie a connective tissue and gravitas that has us extra enthusiastic about this film than virtually anything. Right here’s the brand new trailer for Tron: Ares that’s gentle on new footage however heavy on nostalgia.

As we reported in our set go to report (have you read it yet? It’s chock full of goodies!) at a sure level within the film, Ares (performed by Jared Leto) has to return to the unique 1982 Tron grid to be taught one thing that forwards the story. We get a brand new glimpse of that right here, and it seems that’s the place Flynn now lives. However is it really Flynn? On the finish of Tron: Legacy, we thought we watched Flynn die as he destroyed his digital double Clu to avoid wasting his son, Sam. So, who or what is that this model? How a lot time has handed? How can he assist?

All fascinating questions that, sadly, in all probability have little or no to do with the precise plot of Tron: Ares. The precise plot is roofed within the second half of this trailer, a battle over the best way to deliver components from the Grid into the true world. And the success of Ares will in the end relaxation extra on that story working relatively than the movie’s hyperlinks to the earlier two. However we prefer to geek out round right here.
