The American movie "Tron" changed the history of video entertainment by being the first full-length feature film in the world to fully use CG (computer graphics). The latest trailer for the latest film "Tron: Ares," which will be released in Japan and the US on October 10th this year, the first in 15 years, has been released, including an original song by Nine Inch Nails. A new teaser poster visual has also been released.
"Tron" (1982, directed by Steven Lisberger) became a social phenomenon, depicting the genius programmer Kevin Flynn, who is sent into the digital world and takes on a game of life and death. 28 years later, in 2010, the sequel "Tron: Legacy" (directed by Joseph Kosinski) was released, featuring Kevin's son Sam as the main character, and captivated many fans with its cutting-edge visuals at the time, based on pale, glowing neon lights. The music, written by the French electronic duo Daft Punk, also became a hot topic.
The latest film, "Tron: Ares," is directed by Joachim Rønning, who has worked on films such as "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" (2017) and "Maleficent: The Second Season" (2019), and the music will be provided by American rock band Nine Inch Nails, who have worked on films such as "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" (2011) and "Soulful World" (2020) and have won awards such as the Academy Award for Best Original Score.
The latest trailer, which features the impressive visual beauty of red neon and darkness, is set to the song "As Alive As You Need Me To Be" written by Nine Inch Nails. It also shows "Ares" (Jared Leto), an advanced artificial program that senses something while quietly watching recorded footage of humans. In addition, the red light cycle fires lasers, and in an instant wings like a "flight unit" appear on its back, taking off gallantly. This is a glimpse into the overwhelming visual beauty and worldview of the series, which has overwhelmed the world with its CG technology.
Additionally, the trailer also features the legendary actor Jeff Bridges, who plays Kevin Flynn, the iconic character in the "Tron" series, and it will be interesting to see how his role intertwines with the story.
