Grab your Gen-X dad, jump on your lightcycle (or Lime bike) and head for Piccadilly Circus next month, because ’80s sci-fi throwback Tron is coming to town.
Tron: Ares, the new sequel to the reboot of the landmark 1982 Jeff Bridges sci-fi, is zipping sleekly into our cinemas in October and to mark its release, Disney is turning Piccadilly’s The Venue into The Grid, the virtual realm of the movie.
Londoners are invited – free of charge – to sample its gleaming neon wonders and listen to the movie’s Nine Inch Nails soundtrack in surround sound.
‘Visitors will enter through a LED-lit corridor of shifting lights, immersing them into The Grid,’ runs the press release, ‘and allowing them to step into the world of Tron for a one-of-a-kind photo opportunity with the iconic Lightcycle.’ It’s not Quasar but it could be the next best thing.
Tickets are free but you’ll have to be quick, because it’s only open for one day: Thursday, October 2. Hit the Eventbrite link to sign up for tickets.
Tron: Ares stars Jared Leto, Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Jodie Turner-Smith and Gillian Anderson, with Jeff Bridges back to reprise his role as cyber-traveller Kevin Flynn.
It’s in cinemas worldwide from October 10.
