Disney is developing a third TRON film which is currently titled, TRON: Ares. The movie has been in the works for some time and not much information has been released on the project, but according to a new report from The DisInsider, the film may be looking to begin production in early 2022.
The outlet states that the original TRON film and its sequel, TRON: Legacy, used Flynn’s Arcade (with the iconic neon sign in Culver City, California, known as “The Hull Building”) as its backdrop. After filming on the sequel, most recently, the building housed a garage door company called A1 Garage Doors & Gates. Well, thanks to recent photos we’ve obtained, the Flynn’s Arcade awning and facade have returned. Now, with a new, modern look. You can see the photos from The DisInsider below:
Flynn’s Arcade recent update seems to indicate that production on the project could begin very soon.
The next installment of the sci-fi franchise has signed on Garth Davis to direct and Jared Leto to star in the film.
Jesse Wigutow wrote the most recent draft of the script. Leto is producing along with Justin Springer and Emma Ludbrook.
