Pacific Rim Already has a Sequel in the Works

Seriously, Legendary? Seriously?! We’re still seven months away from Pacific Rim and you’re already working on a sequel? Fuck it, I don’t care.

Guillermo del Toro’s tribute to classic Japanese monster movies looks awesome. So awesome, in fact, that Legendary Pictures, the studio producing the film, is already prepping a sequel for the film. The studio has tapped Travis Beacham to write the follow-up. Beacham is one of the writers for the first film and also wrote the Clash of the Titans remake. Del Toro will be co-writing the sequel with Beacham but we don’t know if he will be directing it, as well.

Pacific Rim is set for release on July 12th, 2013.
