Pacific Rim 2 News
Judging by its trailers, the “Pacific Rim” sequel looks amazing, with “Force Awakens” star John Boyega joining as the new lead — but fans might already have a reason to look forward to the franchise’s films down the line.
With “Pacific Rim: Uprising” coming out next March, director Steven S.

Guillermo del Toro’s love letter to movies and TV shows about giant piloted-robots battling giant monsters, Pacific Rim is getting a sequel in 2018 in the form of Pacific Rim: Uprising. Daredevil season 1 showrunner and Spartacus TV show creator Steven DeKnight is calling the shots on the Pacific Rim sequel, though del Toro helped to get the project off the ground after it was seemingly-almost canceled, apocalypse-style.

I’m incredibly happy Pacific Rim 2 is happening. It looked touch and go there for a little while for the franchise, but with somewhat of a side step, the film will be going forward with John Boyega starring and Steven S. DeKnight.
In fact, the film is going into production starting today, as revealed by Boyega himself on Instagram. Along with that, we now have the official name for the movie too:
Pacifc Rim Maelstrom.

Enter Scott Eastwood, Fury star and son of Clint, who is currently circling a role opposite Boyega in Pacific Rim 2.

Pacific Rim is the kind of movie with spectacle and literally larger-than-life characters that demands a franchise. That's why it's a special kind of frustrating to see Transformers movies come out seemingly left and right while a sequel to the far more original giant-robot movie struggles to get off the ground. The reasons for Pacific Rim 2's slow start, though, aren't entirely box office related.
Legendary Pictures, which produced the first film, shifted its partnership...Read MoreRead Comments

In word from Deadline, Star Wars: The Force Awakens star John Boyega has signed on to star in the second Pacific Rim film. Steven S. DeKnight (Marvel’s Daredevil) is directing the sequel based on the franchise created by Guillermo del Toro and Travis Becham. The 2013 film grossed $411 million. Boyega will be playing the son of Idris Elba’s character, Stacker Pentecost. On the signing of Boyega, del Toro said: “I am very proud and happy to welcome John into a fantastic sandbox.

The on-again, off-again talk about a sequel to Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim has taken a very positive spin. Steven S. DeKnight has been hired to direct Pacific Rim 2, according to Deadline, and Universal Pictures will release it in 3D worldwide.
DeKnight cut his teeth writing for television, first for MTV's Undressed, then for Joss Whedon's Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel (on which he began serving as a producer as well), and Smallville. He scored big by creating...Read MoreRead Comments
