Jeff Bridges and Jared Leto took to the Hall H stage to talk about the upcoming "Tron: Ares," the third film in the sci-fi franchise.

One person almost as excited as Lee is the OG “Tron” star himself, Jeff Bridges. “It’s so cool, man!” said the actor, who reprises his role as Kevin Flynn from the 1982 first film and 2010’s “Tron: Legacy.” “Artificial intelligence, that’s on everybody’s hearts and minds these days, and I’m glad to be part of this story.”

“Tron” has never been in the top tier of sci-fi franchises. The original 1982 film starring Bridges as Kevin Flynn, a man sucked into a computer vortex known as the Grid, was admired for its ground-breaking concept and effects, and was a modest hit with moderately good reviews.
