Tron: Ares–The Grid comes to our world in new trailer

When the original Disney movie Tron arrived in theaters in 1982 it was a technological innovation. Jeff Bridges’ Kevin Flynn and Bruce Boxleitner’s Tron, a user and a program, interact in a fully realized alternate universe after Flynn is sucked into his own computer system. Nearly thirty years later the Disney prequel comic Tron: Betrayal and the movie sequel Tron: Legacy revisited the computer world known as the Grid to show us what happened to Flynn and Tron. That world continued in the video game Tron RUN/r, the animated series Tron: Uprising, and even a Disney theme park ride.

This year the story comes full circle in Tron: Ares. Humans broke into the computer world, now the computers break into ours, right where Tron: Legacy left off–with the ISOs finding their way into the real world. The movie stars Jared Leto, Evan Peters, Gillian Anderson, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Sarah Desjardins, with an expected appearance by Jeff Bridges. The first look at the return of the giant menacing Recognizers–now in the real world–is pretty great.
