True story…
Despite Tron: Ares earning roughly CA $46 million domestically and about CA $83 million worldwide in its opening weekend — a mixed box office showing for a film of its scale — there’s one thing Vancouverites are sure to appreciate.
Much of the film’s real-world action was shot in Vancouver, and unlike many productions that pass the city off as somewhere else, Tron: Ares proudly showcases it in full view.
Throughout the movie, you’ll spot familiar landmarks such as BC Place, the Cambie Bridge, and Stanley Park. Director Joachim Rønning even praised the city, saying, “Luckily, Vancouver is a film-friendly city.”
We’re sharing The New York Times video featuring Rønning as he breaks down the film’s motorcycle chase sequence — filmed on a bridge many Vancouverites will instantly recognize.
