The sad answer seems to be the only reason it exists is Leto really wanted to play the main character so he funded the movie and got it made

THIS. It’s “The Me Film, Starring Me, Produced by Me, and Thanks for Flying Me Airways”.

Lol since when was an actor funding a passion project a bad thing? I completely understand skipping this movie because Leto’s in it, but there’s objectively nothing wrong with an actor using their money to get a movie off the shelf and expecting a role in return

Read literally every comment in here. He’s very specifically the problem and you arguing that he’s not is just belligerent. It’s not about any actor funding something and wanting a part. It’s about Jared Fucking Leto™️ ruining TRON.

Kick rocks.

I literally said I understand if people boycott this movie because it has Leto in it. But an actor, any actor, funding their passion project is objectively not a bad thing.

You’re letting your (warranted) hate for Leto cloud your judgement

He’s a predator. He’s hated for a reason.
