Will Tron 3 see the light of day in boxes from 2015? After changing directors several times and suffering various setbacks, this last opus of the trilogy started in 1982 is back on track. Last June, Disney announced the hiring of Evan Peters to star alongside Jared Leto, which is set to begin filming this summer under the direction of Joachim Ronning (Pirates of the Caribbean: The Salazar’s Revenge).
Unfortunately, the curse seems to be on Tron 3 again, titled Ares. Taking to his Instagram account, the director expressed his deep concern after halting filming, which was supposed to begin this week, due to the strike that is currently raging in Hollywood.
“The best moments of my career have been when I’ve seen an actor perform in front of the camera, take the scene and the text to the next level. I’ve had the chance to work with extraordinary talent. That’s basically why I’m a filmmaker.”Joachim Ronning started.
“Being an actor or a screenwriter means working independently like I do. And I can assure you that this constant uncertainty is not for everyone. So I don’t think it’s unreasonable to ask for a better safety net. Many are my best friends. There are screenwriters. It all starts with the story, it all starts with you. It must continue.”he continued.
We are at a standstill and over 150 people have been laid off. Filming has been postponed indefinitely.
“This means artificial intelligence must be regulated. This technology is undoubtedly a threat to all artists. Today was supposed to be the first day of filming for Tron: Ares (a film about AIs and what makes people human). Instead, we closed. It was shot down and more than 150 people were fired. Filming was delayed indefinitely, making it even more difficult for everyone.”he was worried.
“AMPTP, SAG-AFTRA and the WGA should not leave the negotiating table until we get a deal. This is Hollywood where deals are made every morning. Why can we suddenly afford to spend so much time when every day is so precious? This is a tactic. It’s so sad. It’s time to be diplomatic to get back to work, on fair terms for all.”he concluded.
It’s time to be diplomatic to get back to work, under fair conditions for all.
Not everyone shares the position of the Norwegian film director, which can be seen in the comments of his post. However, the film has not yet been canceled by Disney; Filming is currently on hold and should resume as soon as the strike ends. However, we can only point to the deep crisis that Hollywood is sinking into, and this speech by Joachim Rönning is a symptom of the strong tension between the various parties.
Released in 1982, the first Tron starred Jeff Bridges as video game developer Kevin Flynn. The latter found himself deformed in his video game, forced to participate in gladiator games, from which he could only escape with the help of a heroic security program.
It is one of the first films to use CGI effects. While the feature film was not a commercial success (it grossed $50 million in theaters on a $17 million budget), it acquired cult status thanks to its release on VHS. 29 years later came Tron, The Legacy of Joseph Kosinski (Mr Top Gun 2), in which Jeff Bridges reprises his role with Garrett Hedlund playing his son, Sam Flynn.
Trying to unravel the mystery of his father’s disappearance, he finds himself in the same world of scary programs and deadly games where his father lived for 25 years. Along with Kevin’s loyal guardian, father and son embark on a journey where death awaits, a visually stunning cyberworld that has become more technologically advanced and dangerous than ever before… With a budget of $170 million, the film grossed only $400 million. million internationally.
