The upcoming 'Tron: Ares' film will feature a distinctive musical direction, with Nine Inch Nails crafting the score for the third installment of the sci-fi franchise. Director Joachim Rønning has expressed his enthusiasm about the band's involvement, noting how their industrial sound aligns perfectly with the film's darker aesthetic.
Speaking to Empire magazine, Rønning revealed that the new installment aims to establish a stark contrast between The Grid and the real world. "With Nine Inch Nails making the music, this installment will be a little grittier, a little bit more industrial," he explained, highlighting how the band's signature sound complements the film's creative vision.
The scoring project marks a notable shift from 2010's 'Tron: Legacy,' which featured electronic duo Daft Punk's memorable soundtrack. Nine Inch Nails' core members Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross bring their acclaimed composing expertise to the project, having garnered numerous accolades including Oscar, Grammy, and Emmy awards for their previous scoring work.
This marks the first major creative output from Nine Inch Nails in four years, generating considerable excitement among fans of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees. Unlike their recent film scoring projects, this work will be released under the Nine Inch Nails banner rather than as a Reznor-Ross collaboration.
The film features an impressive cast including Jeff Bridges returning to the franchise, alongside Jared Leto, Evan Peters, and Gillian Anderson. The plot takes an innovative turn from its predecessors, following a Program named Ares (played by Leto) who ventures into the real world, inverting the traditional narrative of humans entering The Grid.
The combination of Nine Inch Nails' industrial soundscapes with the 'Tron' universe promises to deliver a fresh take on the franchise's musical identity while maintaining its technological core.
