The Mexican film director, producer and novelist - Guillermo del Toro, stated that the budget for the sequel of the science fiction film Pacific Rim is fully ready.
The Pacific Rim 2 film production was previously reported as being halted for an unspecified period of time and the flick was even being announced as having been withdrawn from the release schedule of Universal - and with that, it was rumored that the Pacific Rim sequel is doomed for termination.
Reports has it that the circumstance surrounding the production of the film, is that it was actually caught in the line of fire between the issue of the franchises of Godzilla and the giant movie monster King Kong. But, in an interview with director Guillermo del Toro, he firmly established that the Pacific Rim sequel is still going to happen.
Guillermo del Toro stated, "We are still turning in a screenplay and a budget in three weeks," del Toro added, "As far as I'm concerned, it's not out. The production are still on it."
Guillermo del Toro also said that the detainment of the film is only temporary, adding that del Toro may work on another film in the middle. The director talked humorously that if he got tons of money, aside from filming the "Pacific Rim 2," he will also work on the fictional superhero by writer-artist Mike Mignola - "Hellboy 3" and the horror writer, H. P. Lovecraft's novella - "At the Mountains of Madness."
Adding up, Guillermo del Toro also tweeted about his plans to give the actress, famous for her character as Arya Stark in the HBO television series Game of Thrones - Maisie Williams, a role of a Jaeger in the forthcoming sequel.
Guillermo del Toro stated, "Had lunch with Maisie Williams yesterday," "Remarkable. Dammit- if 'Pacific Rim 2' happens, Maisie Williams is getting a Jaeger."
The Pacific Rim 2 film was planned to have an Aug. 2017 release date. However, it seems that the current delay would move the movie's release window a bit further.
