2025 will mark 15 years since Disney released “TRON: Legacy.” We’re remembering how excited we were for the film- the original being one of our favorites from childhood- and wondering how The Grid would be updated with technology of the time. Needless to say, “TRON: Legacy” freaking RULES, thanks in no small part to the incredible score by Daft Punk. And, subsequently, the artists who contributed pieces to the no less incredible “Tron: Legacy Reconfigured” remix soundtrack album.
So, with industrial mainstay and pioneers Nine Inch Nails in the hot seat for “TRON: Ares,” we’re very curious to see how everything goes. Especially after reading this quote from director Joachim Rønning (“Pirates of the Caribbean“).
“With Nine Inch Nails making the music, this installment will be a little grittier, a little bit more industrial,” Rønning told Empire Magazine. “It’s been important for me to contrast The Grid and the real world. In that sense, Nine Inch Nails lends itself perfectly into this new ‘TRON‘ world that we are creating.”
The film stars Jeff Bridges, Jared Leto, Gillian Anderson, Cameron Monaghan, Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Sarah Desjardins, and Jodie Turner-Smith.
“TRON: Ares” is set to hit theaters October 10th, 2025. We’ll keep you updated on this and other news.
