I hadn’t been aware this was a thing until I saw an article about 150 members of the crew being laid off due to ongoing Hollywood shenanigans.
The original is one of my favorite movies, and the sequel was pretty decent. So I’m interested to see where they go with this. From the brief synopsis I saw, it seems kind of a reverse of the original, with a program’s adventures in the real world. If the synopsis stays accurate….
Hollywood shenanigans? Really?
Calling it "Hollywood shenanigans" implies you think it is a bad thing.
It diminishes what is going on, making it a triviality.
Naah all you like, it doesn't change the fact it sounds like you are making light of what is going on.

Well, yes, I am “making light” of it. Or at least aspects of it.
It sucks that a bunch of “low level workers” are being hurt by all this. There are, however, parts of the whole situation I find hilarious.
That, however, should probably be a conversation for a thread where it’s actually intended to be the main subject. Not a thread about a third Tron movie.

That might be for the best. Disney films have been a mixed bag lately.
It’s got at least two solid cast members in Jared Leto and Cameron Monaghan. I’m not familiar with the other cast members, or the director. IMDB lists at least two writers from the first Tron film, which sounds cool. Unless they’re just crediting them because the film uses some of their ideas, and aren’t actually working on this film.
Still, there’s a tiny part of me that is very slightly, cautiously pessimistic.

Well, it’s been a minute.
Here’s the trailer for Tron: Ares
It at least looks interesting. And Jared Leto is a great actor. I wonder how they’re brining Flynn back, since he kind of died in the last one. No actual Tron, though. That sucks.
Too bad Daft Punk has stopped doing music.

I saw an out of theater assessment from Film Threat yesterday. They said the visuals were great, and the action sequences were pretty good. However, they said the story was horrible.
Couple that with how busy the rest of my October is promising to be, it's unlikely I'll see this in a theater. I may eventually rent it if it streams on Amazon.
