By Eyewitness set video has gone online for Walt Disney Studios’ “TRON: Ares,” the third film in the sci-fi action franchise which is currently in production in Vancouver, Canada.
Previously the film’s lead star Jared Leto revealed an official photo showcasing a character design very akin to that of the baddies on the grid in “TRON: Legacy”.
The new video, captured during some external location filming, confirms that character was Leto who has his helmet off in the video and is seen sporting slicked back hair.
The actor’s strike shut down pre-production just a few weeks before it was to begin shooting in mid-August 2023. Filming began earlier this year with Norwegian filmmaker Joachim Rønning (“Kon-Tiki”) directing.
The story will reportedly focus on the emergence of Ares, a sentient program that crosses over into the human world that is not ready for contact. Leto will play the human manifestation of that program.
Evan Peters, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Cameron Monaghan are also part of the cast. Rønning directs from a script by Jesse Wigutow and Jack Thorne.
The new film is expected to spend more time in the real world than the digital ones of the first two movies. It is slated for a 2025 release.
