fan who ’ve been polishing their Jaeger waiting for the continuation to Guillermo del Toro ’s 2013 film , Pacific Rim , may want to slow up down . It seems the sequel , which wasset for a 2017 release escort , has been “ stanch indefinitely ” and may not get made at all .
Last calendar week , Latino Review ran a rumor that Pacific Rim 2 , rumour to be entitle Pacific Rim : Maelstrom , had pushed its production back significantly . And now , The Hollywood Reporter say this :
The undertaking — which had been ramp up to make a release particular date in August 2017 — has been halted indefinitely and will be pushed back ( if it gets made at all ) .
The reason ? What else ? Money . The first film grossed $ 411 million worldwide , with less than a quarter of that coming from the United States . That go like a strike , but with a budget reportedly nigh to $ 200 million , it ’s borderline . However , the movie ’s achiever in China had Legendary Pictures excited for a sequel but withthat company stretch betweenan old good deal they had with Warner Bros. and a Modern one at Universal , there are a ton of return . The Hollywood Reporter piece bewilder into more specific .
I think most devotee , once they saw the returns on Pacific Rim , in all likelihood did n’t think they ’d ever see a sequel , so it was a pleasant surprisal when Warner Bros.announced one last Summer . Guillermo del Toro was in pre - production on the film but it ’s probable that ’ll check now . Del Toro ’s belated movie , Crimson Peak , give in about a month so betting odds are he ’ll proffer up some updates then . For now though , track your finger’s breadth and toe for the project to get back into the Drift .
