Apparently I'm in the minority here (well, there's only three of
us!), but I'm seeing it in theaters, I dug the first one and it
owned that massive screen.
Anyway, Uproxx article: More Than Just Monster Punching: What
'Pacific Rim 2' Absolutely Needs

[glow=red,2,300]Guillermo del Toro Plans Indie Creature
Feature!![/glow]
Some massive breaking news just landed at Collider, who reports
that horror veteran Guillermo del Toro will tackle a new indie
creature feature before moving on to direct Pacific Rim 2.
While there’s no title to share, del Toro tells the site that he
has John Hurt in mind for the lead in what will be a black and
white feature.
“Right away, in February/March I should [start on] another
very small movie, black and white, really, really bizarre before
starting—we start pre-production on Pacific Rim 2 in August, and
then I interrupt it briefly to go into the first of next year to
do this strange little movie, and then I restart it and go all
the way until we start shooting Pacific Rim 2 at the end of 2015
for release in 2017.
“It’s a very small cast. I would love to have John Hurt, and
there’s an actress that I have in mind that is not well-known
but I’ve seen her in a short film. That’s all she’s really done,
one feature and one short, but she has an incredibly interesting
taste and I’m gonna try her out for the main role.
“There’s one great creature in it.”
Del Toro is currently in post on Crimson Peak, starring Mia
Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston, and Charlie
Hunnam, which will haunt theaters on October 16, 2015.

[glow=red,2,300]Guillermo del Toro Discusses The PACIFIC
RIMverse’s ‘Long Arc’!! [/glow]
We recently received word that not only would a PACIFIC RIM
sequel be arriving April 2017, but we’d also get a new animated
series and a continuation of the comic book/graphic novel
approach (begun around the first film’s release in PACIFIC RIM:
YEAR ZERO). And, it seems, a number of other toys are in the
works as well. In short: there’s not merely a movie sequel on
the way, but substantial and calculated franchise development.
Guillermo del Toro has recently been hinting at what we might
expect from a PACIFIC RIM animated show (insinuating that a few
of the characters introduced there might spill over into the
live action movie sequel); his recent discussion with Collider
provides even more illumination.
[quote]“We’re going for a long arc, so the idea is to show a
group of characters—we have pilots, functional jaegers, but we
have all these younger characters. I really want to explore
things that are complimentary to the things that I want to
explore in the second movie: drift, what drifting does to you,
what is needed to drift, a lot of stuff that I think is
important, but also the jaeger technology, the kaijus being
evolved, ideas about the precursors—the guys that control the
kaijus. We have a lot of leeway in 13 episodes and I wanna make
it sort of in the same spirit of Pacific Rim, which is the ideal
audience for Pacific Rim was young—very young, 11-year-olds and
so forth—but with really beautiful design and stories that make
these characters interesting in a way that I found them
interesting in, for example, Year Zero, the graphic novel that
we did. And I think that’s the basic thrust of the thing.”
[/quote]
Interesting. Sounding like they’re developing a ‘whole’ universe
across multiple platforms, rather than a ‘comic verse,’ a
‘cartoon verse,’ etc. - a smart, but not necessarily
taken-for-granted move which oughta lead to a much more
well-rounded mythology (rather than the patchwork effect we see
in something like, say, DOCTOR WHO or STAR WARS).

Interesting they are fleshing everything out to fully realized
universe. I say interesting because I heard that after the
domestic take of Pacific Rim, that the idea of doing a sequel
wasn't a sure thing. It was only when it made monster money
internationally they finally green lit the sequel.

I like the idea that the drifting is the core technology that
they'll be following, since it's very direct with the
characters: it's about their backgrounds and personalities, and
forces people to work together and confront each other. It'll
be interesting to see what else the tech can do...
