WASHINGTON: Hollywood actor Greta Lee, who is currently getting a lot of praise for her performance in the romantic film ‘Past Lives’ is all set to star in the upcoming cyber tech adventure film ‘Tron 3’.
Titled ‘Tron: Ares’ the film also stars Jared Leto and Evan Peters in the lead roles. Joachim Ronning, who helmed ‘Maleficent: Mistress of Evil’ and co-directed ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales,’ is in the director’s chair.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, a US-based media house, ‘Tron’ was released in 1982, with Jeff Bridges starring as video game designer Kevin Flynn, who is transported inside his own creation and teams up with Tron, a security program played by Bruce Boxleitner. A 2010 sequel took on a generational approach to the story, bringing back Bridges while adding Garrett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde.
The previous two parts were largely set inside the world of computers and programs, the script for ‘Ares,’ written by Jesse Wigutow and Jack Thorne, is said to focus on the emergence of a sentient program that crosses over into the human world that is not ready for contact.
Leto is Ares, the manifestation of the program, with Lee starring as a video game programmer and tech company CEO who has to go on the run in order to protect her world-changing technology, as per The Hollywood Reporter.
The official release date of the film is still awaited. (ANI)
