It appears Guillermo del Toro sequel to 'Pacific Rim' is once again being put on hold, filming was set to start in November but According to Latino Review it has been postponed to 2016... Just last month Del Toro talked about the upcoming sequel and hopefully a crossover with Godzilla, down the road...
"It’s a few years after the first one," said del Toro. "It’s not an immediate follow-up. It is the world having been freed of Kaiju, what happens to the world after – what happens to the Jaeger technology once the Kaiju are not a threat. It’s quite a jump."
"It’s quite a different movie from the first one, but I think that two of our main characters, like in the first one, are Burn and Charlie," continued Del Toro. "I mean, honestly, they are probably the guys I have the most fun writing along with Hannibal Chau, so just from a purely selfish drive, I like writing them. You’re gonna get a lot of that, but the Kaijus are very different and you’re gonna see a very different type of the robots."
Godzilla crossover: “So far with the sequel, what we’re writing, what we’re creating, is very different, so there are no plans. Hypothetically, I would love the fuck out of it. I would love to see a jaeger and Godzilla duke it out. That would be too much for the human brain.”
I hate to say it, but this delay will most likly push the film out of it's August 4th, 2017 release date...
