'Tron: Ares' director Joachim Rnning explains wanting to "raise the bar to the next level" for film

"In a new featurette celebrating the next chapter, director Joachim Ronning explains why it was important to "raise the bar to the next level" and take the movie to the real world. He reveals production shut down Vancouver, Canada for six weeks at night to film Lightcycle (futuristic motorcycle) scenes to get electrifying action sequences."

"Ares himself, Jared Leto, shares why he wanted to join the film, "I love 'Tron.' You know, you saw this film as a kid, and there you are standing, completely lit up and you hop on the Lightcycle." Jeff Bridges, who starred as Kevin Flynn in the original 1982 "Tron," returns for the latest installment, "Seeing 'Tron' progress from the original to 'Tron: Ares' is just fantastic," he reveals in the featurette."

"Included in "Tron's" progress is nabbing Nine Inch Nails to compose the original motion picture soundtrack along with creating original songs for "Tron: Ares." Check out the first "Tron: Ares" song to be released and Nine Inch Nails' official music video for "As Alive As You Need Me To Be" now.
