How come Star Wars gets a fuck ton of shitty sequels but the first TRON film in 15 years is a flop? I was waiting for this film since I was a child.

THE DIGITAL UNIVERSE REAWAKENS ON 4K ULTRA HD!

TRON and TRON: Legacy Getting 4K Release September 16

BURBANK, Calif. (September 2, 2025) -- Disney's groundbreaking sci-fi adventures, TRON and TRON: Legacy, will debut on 4K Ultra HD for the first time on September 16. [Read on here...]

TRON was digitally scanned and carefully restored by The Walt Disney Film Restoration team, who corrected dirt, warping, and other imperfections to ensure pristine image quality. The work was supervised by director Steven Lisberger. TRON: Legacy has been remastered in High Dynamic Range from the original digital sources under the supervision of director Joseph Kosinski. Meticulously remastered, both films transport audiences back to the digital frontier with an experience more immersive, dynamic, and visually spectacular than ever before.

Available on digital platforms including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home, the releases showcase breathtaking Dolby Vision picture quality and pulse-pounding Dolby Atmos audio for the ultimate home-viewing experience.

Originally released in 1982, TRON opened the gateway to a bold new universe of computer-generated wonder, inspiring a generation with its visionary storytelling and pioneering special effects. Nearly three decades later, TRON: Legacy expanded the saga with breathtaking visuals, a cutting-edge digital world, and a celebrated electronic score from Daft Punk.

TRON and TRON: Legacy will be available to own on 4K Ultra HD Digital and Blu-ray, beginning September 16. TRON: Ares, which Fandango recently ranked as the most highly anticipated film of the Fall, will carry the franchise's groundbreaking legacy forward when it debuts exclusively in theaters October 10.

Along with previously released bonus extras, the TRON and TRON: Legacy 4K discs will generate an eye-popping collectible limited edition SteelBook with custom artwork and packaging.

Tron: Catalyst is released on Tuesday 17th of June. A demo is available now.

Empire has recently shared a new picture from the upcoming Tron: Ares that teases more of Jared Leto’s character — the titular Ares. Additionally, Rønning has also explained more about his intended heavier score with Nine Inch Nails, saying, “With Nine Inch Nails making the music, this installment will be a little grittier, a little bit more industrial. 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.”

He also explains that the darker tone of the music will not necessarily mean the tone of this entry will be more melancholy, but there will also be some heart and human spirit emanating from the soundtrack. Rønning expounded, “What I always look for in any story is a strong emotional core. This film will probably be more emotional than people are expecting. It’s about the cost of being human.”

Tron: Ares “follows a highly sophisticated Program, Ares, who is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, marking humankind’s first encounter with A.I. beings.” The film stars Jared Leto, Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, and Gillian Anderson.

“TRON: Ares” had a big first look for the room as Jared Leto, Jeff Bridges, Greta Lee and Evan Peters showed up to promote the film. In the trailer, the computer world’s light cycles are seen speeding through city streets and slicing cars in half.

Lee’s role in the film was revealed as a programmer whose work leads to Jared Leto’s Ares coming to our world. Also revealed is Jodie Turner-Smith’s role as Athena – a program seemingly very upset after Ares abandons his mission.

The clip shown off at the presentation has leaked online on social media and confirm that the heavily turquoise color aesthetic of “TRON: Legacy” has been switched out for something much more crimson here.

Cameron Monaghan, Hasan Minhaj, Sarah Desjardins and the one and only Gillian Anderson co-star in the film which opens October next year.
