A local film fan has shared several of his videos and photos of actor Jared Leto in his Tron: Ares costume taken last year when the star was in Vancouver filming the epic feature film coming to theatres soon.
The first trailer for Tron: Ares came out this week, showcasing many easily recognizable spots across Vancouver, including the Cambie Bridge.
Leto plays the lead, Ares, in the film. His co-stars include Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, and Gillian Anderson.
The film production last spring included several complete closures of the Cambie Bridge to accommodate chase scenes and stunts.
The film is the third instalment in the Tron universe. The first film was released in 1982 and is considered groundbreaking for its use of special effects. The sequel, Tron: Legacy, took nearly 30 years to reach the silver screen. It was also shot in Vancouver and used the Cambie Bridge for at least one scene involving a motorcycle.
A local who goes by @NewWestBoy on social media captures images and videos from film sets. He shared several Tron ones to X/Twitter, last year, including some of the stunt performers and the big-name actors.
