Tron: Ares<\/a> director Joachim R\u00f8nning has told RT\u00c9 Entertainment that it was important for the new sci-fi thriller to share the idea that artificial intelligence “can help advance humanity”.<\/p>\n

Since the original Jeff Bridges-starring Tron in 1982, the Disney franchise has been at the vanguard of new technology and what the future could look like.<\/p>\n

\n

Now, in a new story about AI and big tech, Tron: Ares<\/a> sees Jared Leto star as Ares; a super-intelligent programme that is dispatched to the real world to track down a CEO (played by Greta Lee) who has made a discovery that will change humanity.<\/p>\n

When RT\u00c9 Entertainment told Norwegian filmmaker R\u00f8nning that his film’s ultimate message of hope was as impressive as its action sequences and special effects, he replied: “Thank you for saying that, honestly.”<\/p>\n

“Obviously, when we started out making this film, the AI technology was not on the agenda,” the Maleficent: Mistress of Evil<\/a> and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales<\/a> director continued.<\/p>\n

“In the process, it’s kind of exploded and now everyone’s using it, so I feel it’s a very timely subject matter.”<\/p>\n

\nTron: Ares star Greta Lee with director Joachim R\u00f8nning – The Norwegian filmmaker told RT\u00c9 Entertainment AI “can be good – and that’s my hope”<\/p>\n

“I think the movie reflects a little bit my own view on it, actually, in the way that I’m a little ‘mixed emotions’ about AI, especially as an artist, as a filmmaker,” said R\u00f8nning.<\/p>\n

“I think we need proper guard rails, but at the same time, as you’re pointing out, done the right way, AI can help advance humanity. It can be good – and that’s my hope. And that was very important to get that across in the story.”<\/p>\n

Tron: Ares<\/a> is in cinemas now.<\/p>\n
