Pacific Rime 2 Release Date And More

[ARNie]

Not the only thing announced...

Pacific Rim wasn’t necessarily the box-office leviathan that Legendary and Universal had hoped, but it grossed a healthy $411 million around the globe. In particular, it made $111.9 million in China alone—more than it made in the U.S.—so it was no shock when the two movie companies announced that Pacific Rim 2 is officially in the works and will arrive in theaters on April 7, 2017.

In a YouTube video, director Guillermo del Toro said that “we’re going to develop a new animated series for Pacific Rim, continue the comic-book series that we started with Year Zero, and most importantly, create a sequel for the film. I’m working on this with Zak Penn and Travis Beacham, and we are very happy to be bringing you more Kaijus, more Jaegers, kicking each other’s butt.”

sounds pretty cool, I'm curious how it'll all play out. an animated series too? that could be interesting, though I'm wondering if it will be more of that 3D cartoon trend, if that gets going.

How does this make you feel?

Absolutely indifferent. Honestly, Cherno Alpha and Crimson Typhoon are gone and Coyote Tango is too hazardous. Everything about the first screamed "look at Gypsy Danger and Eureka Striker, they're the best!" I am hoping they up the action in the sequel, the first movie felt very heavy in terms of padding throughout the entire middle until Leatherback and Otachi made landfall. It is a real shame because I legitimately like Del Toro's monster-oriented titles.
