So after the internet had a head stagger – ourselves included – at the news that Pacific Rim 2 (or Pacific Rim: Maelstrom, if you prefer) was postponed, possibly indefinitely (here), the man behind Pacific Rim, Guillermo Del Toro, has said to relax…
Speaking to EW about it, the writer director clarified that, yes, it’s postponed, but it’s still happening – at least as far as he knows: “We are still turning in a screenplay and a budget in three weeks. As far as I’m concerned, it’s not gone. We’re still on it.”
But it has been delayed? “It moved further, [and] I may do another movie in the middle.”
We at FTN would kill to see it happen, along with some of his other movies’ sequels – we’re not on our own, it seems: “if I was a billionaire, I would definitely do Hellboy 3, Pacific Rim 2 and At the Mountains of Madness. And I would quickly become a millionaire.”
We couldn’t put it any better…and we’re glad that, for now at least, once again, “we are cancelling the apocalypse!”
