Pacific Rim blew audiences away when visionary director, Guillermo Del Toro, took on this story of monstrous sea creatures and a battle for man kind with as much commitment and finesse as you’d expect. Knock out special effects and performances from Charlie Hunnam and Idris Elba.
It’s no surprise then, that a sequel was in the pipeline, especially considering the movie took in over three times it’s international growth as it did its domestic.
According to Collider, Del Toro already has the first draft of the movie done, but intends to work on the screenplay for another 4-5 months. Production will take place August-September 2015 and shooting will begin November-December the same year.
As much as everybody loved the first movie, turns out, the sequel is going to be pretty different. Another slamming bit of good news is that the sequel will set up an automatic Pacific Rim 3. Additionally, Del Toro also mentioned that there would be a Pacific Rim animated series that would run before Pacific Rim 2, which will be ready for audiences April 2017! Damn, that’s a lot of Del Toro, how amazing?
