The Grid Invades Our World in the ‘Tron: Ares’ Trailer

BBG News

Sequels aim at surpassing the previous installments by offering something familiar yet fresh and enhanced. The challenge lies in delivering what the audience expects while still providing a novelty that sparks their curiosity and desire to witness it.

In “Tron: Ares”, the goal is to merge the fantastical digital universe of “The Grid“, showcased in the previous two Tron movies, with our real-world environment. The initial trailer for Ares features elements reminiscent of 2013’s Tron: Legacy, such as lightcycles and armored combatants, but this time they’re part of our everyday life. At one point, a lightcycle cuts a police car cleanly in half using the wall of light it creates. That must hurt!

In the latest development for the franchise, the soundtrack for the movie “Ares” is provided by Nine Inch Nails. You can check out the full trailer of “Tron: Ares” below; while Jared Leto doesn’t feature extensively, he plays the primary character in the film.

There’s a new poster for the film as well.

The upcoming movie, titled “Ares,” marks the first addition to the “Tron” series since 2010. Interestingly, that’s just 15 years for this franchise; the last film, “Tron: Legacy,” was released nearly 30 years after the original one. Notably, Jeff Bridges, who has been a long-time star in the series, portraying human hero and computer programmer Kevin Flynn (and reprising his role in “Legacy” too), is expected to make an appearance in this new installment as well.

Here is the film’s official synopsis:

In a new adventure titled “TRON: Ares,” we meet an advanced digital entity named Ares. This character is dispatched from the digital realm to our physical world on a perilous quest. This marks the initial meeting between humans and artificial intelligence entities.

Tron: Ares is scheduled to open in theaters on October 10.

10 Worst Fictional Planets to Live On

Acheron (From Alien)

Acheron, also known as LV-426, is actually a moon revolving around Calpamos, a massive gas planet in the Zeta Reticuli system. For the sake of this discussion, we consider moons as planets. Don’t argue about it! The Xenomorphs’ ominous birthplace, as depicted in the first ‘Alien’ movie, Acheron is characterized by its darkness, dust, clouds, and overall unfriendliness towards any life forms not adapted to parasitic existence. Despite our struggling economy, we wouldn’t dream of visiting this place, even with a mysterious distress signal beckoning. You’re on your own there, buddy!

Arrakis (From Dune)

In the heart of a cosmic conflict known as a cold war, the desolate planet Arrakis, from Frank Herbert’s epic Dune series, stands out as the ultimate desert world. Every moment here is a trial, and it’s a place where the only truly flourishing creatures are the massive sandworms that have a taste for human flesh. The Fremen seem to adapt well, but the idea of surviving by drinking recycled bodily fluids doesn’t exactly sound appealing. We all fancy ourselves capable of escaping tricky situations like the Kwisatz Haderach, but if given a choice among planets in the Dune universe, we’d much rather socialize in the gladiatorial arenas of Gieidi Prime instead.

Ceti Alpha V (From Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)

Khan Noonien Singh and the refugees from the SS Botany Bay believed they had found their fortune when they managed to escape from the Federation and settled on the habitable yet uninhabited planet Ceti Alpha V. However, just a couple of months after establishing their camp, the neighboring planet Ceti Alpha IV suddenly exploded, causing Khan’s new home to be thrown off its orbit and destroying the environment around it. It’s no wonder he was determined to leave at any cost. The once lush biosphere transformed into a barren desert wasteland, with only the native eel species miraculously surviving amidst the dust storms and fierce winds.

Krypton (From Man of Steel)

In days gone by, one might imagine that Krypton could have been an intriguing world. With a technologically advanced society composed of various powerful races sporting stylish attire, it certainly sounds appealing as a living space, if not for the constant threat of war and ultimate destruction looming over the planet. However, even considering its appealing aspects, Krypton appears to have been quite inhospitable — its inhabitants only acquire genuine superpowers once they depart, and kryptonite, a substance that weakens or even kills those who encounter it, is abundant throughout.

Mustafar (From Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith)

In the Star Wars universe, Tatooine is a vast desert, Hoth is unbearably cold, but it’s Mustafar that stands out as the most unpleasant planet. A catastrophic shift in its solar system left it covered in lava flows, making it essentially one giant molten core, more like an industrial mine in the Outer Rim where machines are used to extract valuable resources. On top of that, it serves as a hub for various Star Wars villains, from criminal organizations to Sith Lords, and even boasts a temple dedicated to the Dark Side atop a powerful energy nexus. We much prefer to keep our distance from this fiery planet.

M6-117 (From Pitch Black)

In David Twohy’s film “Pitch Black”, the planet M6-117, where a transport spaceship crashes, is characterized by extremes. The constant presence of three suns maintains perpetual daylight, making the surface scorching hot and inhospitable to any organic life forms. Periodically, the light from these suns is obstructed during eclipses, not as a respite for the planet’s inhabitants, but rather as a signal for the native photosensitive predators to emerge from their lairs and hunt down all living creatures they can find. If enduring on such a planet means relying on a criminal with goggles covering his glowing eyes for survival, secure us a place in the next escape pod without delay.

Miller’s Planet (From Interstellar)

If Earth was on the brink of ecological disaster and we discovered Miller’s Planet, our only potentially habitable world in our possibly failing space exploration, giving up might seem like the only option. In the movie “Interstellar”, Miller’s Planet is one of two extraterrestrial worlds visited by the Endurance crew, characterized by a vast ocean initially offering hope. Water is essential for life, after all. However, the devastating mountain-high tidal waves that repeatedly sweep over the planet, coupled with the peculiar time-dilation effect caused by orbiting a black hole, quickly squash any dreams of colonization.

Moron Mountain (From Space Jam)

A theme park, managed by terrifying monsters, featuring rides that disintegrate and grill visitors, situated on a minuscule, desolate planet peppered with meteor impacts, accessible only through a colossal, toothy maw reminiscent of a Bosch painting of Hell, doesn’t sound very inviting. It’s not surprising that the business was losing so much money its proprietors felt compelled to orchestrate the abduction of several human basketball players in an attempt to keep it running.

Vogsphere (From The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy)

In the realm of interstellar existence, I’ve encountered the least appealing extraterrestrial beings inhabiting colossal cities made of concrete blocks that outdo even human Brutalism in ugliness. Douglas Adams, in his genius, dreamt up Vogsphere, a concept so existentially chilling it sends shivers down your spine, even without the agonizing torture chambers where Vogons recite their dismal verses until you’re either dead or longing for death. But that’s not all; Vogon society is an intricate maze of hyper-capitalist corporate bureaucracy so complex, one could spend a lifetime getting lost within its labyrinthine networks of stamps, paperwork, and doomed efforts to accomplish anything meaningful.

Ygam (From Fantastic Planet)

In contrast to the planet depicted in Rene Laloux’s 1973 movie “Fantastic Planet”, which is more accurately translated as “Wild Planet”, it would not be a desirable place for humans or us. The inhabitants include terrifying many-eyed creatures and colossal blue humanoids that make humans appear minuscule. Furthermore, the blue aliens take pleasure in abducting small human beings to keep them as pets. While the animation is stunning, we’re grateful we can enjoy it safely from our homes, spared the fear of being crushed by a giant blue foot.
