Legendary Pictures Already Moving Forward With ‘Pacific Rim’ Sequel

Guillermo Del Toro’s epic monsters versus robots flick Pacific Rim won’t be in theaters until next summer, but with all the hype around the trailer (trust me…you guys are going to lose it when you see it) and the movie in general, Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures are taking no time moving forward with the sequel.

Travis Beacham, who worked on the first film, has been hired by Legendary to write the script for the sequel. The script will be co-written by Del Toro, although there’s no word as far as if he will direct the follow up. He has quite a few films on his plate at the moment, but I can’t see him not returning for a sequel to a film that he seemed quite passionate about.

Pacific Rim will hit theaters July 12th, 2013.
