Tron 3

[Xenomrph]

I'm not seeing Bruce Boxleitner's name so far.

Yeah, it would be insane to not bring at least him back. It is called Tron, after all.

Hell, at this point I'd settle Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde and Cillian Murphy.

I seem to recall reading rumors that Cillian Murphy was in talks to return for Tron 3.

#BringBackBit

Completely agree there. Always loved Bit!

I need to go back and finish Uprising, I never did watch it all. I'm disappointed to see no mention of Boxleitner. Really would love to see him back.

Cameron Monaghan and Sarah Desjardins have joined Ares:

Also, the Desjardins article mentions a brief plot synopsis that I'm pretty sure is new:

'Tron: Ares' Filmmaker Joachim Rønning Says Pic "Shut Down" With 150+ People Laid Off Due To Strikes; Urges Studios & Guilds To "Speed Up The Negotiating Process"

Filmmaker Joachim Rønning took to Instagram to let followers know that Monday was suppose to be the first day of production for his upcoming Disney movie, Tron: Ares, however, "we are shut down with over a hundred and fifty people laid off," he says due to WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

"It's indefinite, which makes it exponentially harder for everyone," he adds.

Rønning then urged, "The AMPTP, SAG-AFTRA and WGA need to speed up the negotiating process and not leave the table until it's done."

"This is Hollywood. We close deals for breakfast. Why do we suddenly have all the time in the world when every day is so precious? These tactics are extremely frustrating. It's time for diplomacy so we can get back to work – under conditions that are fair to everybody #amptp #sagaftra #wga," he added.

Deadline sources inform us that production on Tron: Ares is merely paused until both guilds return to work; the plug hasn't been pulled on the Disney threequel.

The WGA and AMPTP recessed talks on Friday with plans to resume them soon this week. The WGA let guild members know that the Negotiating Committee received a counterproposal from the AMPTP, and was in the midst of evaluating it.

Tron: Ares casted up before the SAG-AFTRA strike with Jared Leto, Evan Peters, Greta Lee, Sarah Desjardins, Cameron Monaghan and Jodie Turner-Smith. The third Tron movie, penned by Jesse Wigutow and Jack Thorne follows Leto's computer program Ares on a journey from the digital world to that of humans. In his post today, Rønning said that the next Tron coincidentally is about an important deal point in labor talks, a pic "subsequently about AI and what it means, and takes, to be human". The director further emphasized, "AI needs to be regulated. There is no doubt about the threat the technology poses to all creatives."

Rønning, whose movie Kon-Tiki was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film in 2013, also directed the Disney pics, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales ($796M WW box office) and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil ($491.7M WW).

It sounds like the opposite of the movie I want.

It's also pretty odd in that it's literally using one of the cliffhangers/launching points from the end of Tron: Legacy (an AI character in the real world) but... with nothing seeming to directly carry over from Legacy.

I'd rather see what happens when the system gets connected to the internet. The real world ain't gonna have light cycles.

Aye. Legacy makes it such an explicit point that Kevin Flynn's personal Grid is totally disconnected from everything else and on its own server, so coming out of that movie, a Grid that's connected to the internet was my major hope for a third film as well.

[Local Trouble]

It may become unrecognizable when that happens.  Flynn's system still has light cycles and recognizers because they're assets from the video games that he created and stored on the ENCOM mainframe back in the early 80s.

A system connected to the internet would probably get invaded by 40 years worth of newer assets from games like Minecraft and WoW, so we'd end up with something resembling the world of Wreck-It Ralph.

So this will follow the Monolith Tron 2.0 game? (I love it more than the second movie)

Tron 2.0 is f**king fantastic, arguably my favorite FPS of all time.

Some of its "computer" concepts are a little archaic by modern computer science standards, but that's kind of the case with any computer-centric media on a long enough time scale (see also 'Colossus: The Forbin Project', 'WarGames', the original 'Tron').
