The critically acclaimed Mexican film director Guillermo Del Toro has teased Pacific Rim 2 will go a different dimension in the sequel for the movie Pacific Rim which has made waves and earned big time worldwide amounting to $411 million.
He has been in the knife's edge to really make the film a hit. Only if he can make it more so with a big budget; here's what he has to say:
'Legendary gave me the absolute go-ahead with writing the screenplay, so Travis Beacham and I are working on it. As far as giving it a green light, that's the big step of the process. We need to put together a budget and then they'll make that decision, but everybody is unwavering in their love for the movie.'
The director is positive about making the two films apart from each other, the new one exploring a new world which would lead to a mouth for new disastrous Kaijus (giant monsters from the ocean in pacific Rim).
Heavy spoilers for the Pacific Rim 2 release revealed that they would be delving into a different dimension called 'The Drift' which might possibly the start of a more difficult menace to face by the Jaegars (skyscraper-big robots made to exterminate kaijus).
Del Toro added 'It was hard to create a world that did not come from a comic book, that had its own mythology, so we had to sacrifice many aspects to be able to cram everything in the first movie. Namely, for example "the Drift", which was an interesting concept. [Then there was] this portal that ripped a hole into the fabric of our universe, what were the tools they were using? And we came up with a really, really interesting idea.
(Charlie Hunnam) and Mako (Rinko Kikuchi) will return to reprise their roles in Pacific Rim produced by Legendary Pictures and is set to be released in summer 2017.
