Take place for ten years in 2035 after the events of original film, the story follows on Jake Pentecost, who is given one last chance to live up to his father's legacy after Kaiju, giant monsters, are unleashed for destroying the world.
The sequel stars John Boyega (also making his producer debut), as well as Scott Eastwood, Cailee Spaeny, Jing Tian, Adria Arjona and Zhang Jin, with Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day, and Burn Gorman returning from the original film. Legendary Pictures produced the film alongside Double Dare You Productions. It is the sequel to the 2013 film Pacific Rim and the second film in the Pacific Rim franchise, with Guillermo del Toro, the director of the original, serving as a producer. DeKnight (in his feature-film directorial and writing debut), and written by DeKnight, Emily Carmichael, Kira Snyder and T.S. Having his name attached legitimised this venture in the sense that viewers who liked the first movie would - possibly - be inclined to have a look at this new one purely because del Toro’s name is attached.Pacific Rim: Uprising is a 2018 American science fiction monster film directed by Steven S. Guillermo del Toro opted to go and make THE SHAPE OF WATER, but remained on board as a Producer for UPRISING. In the time between the film’s green light and its theatrical release, Tull, along with most of his Legendary people, have moved on, leaving the company a shadow of its Warner Bros heyday where his Christopher Nolan created BATMAN films dominated the global Box Office for nearly a decade. The project gained momentum when Legendary was acquired by the Chinese Wanda Group. Why PACIFIC RIM: UPRISING made it to the screen is anybody’s guess, but the “packaging” may have a bit to do with it… The film was approved when Thomas Tull was still involved at Legendary Pictures and, there’s no doubt, one of Hollywood’s most influential financiers of the 21st Century was as an advocate to see a follow-up story. But, del Toro’s love of the material shone through with the sense of adventure and “Bigger IS Better” approach. What really saved PACIFIC RIM was the quality of the finished product. With a production budget of $175 million and probably another $100 million for promotion, PACIFIC RIM’s $411 million global ticket tally was not the sort of financial return that could be considered “easy money”. The film failed to achieve the mega-success of a “Hollywood Blockbuster” at the US Box Office and was considered a success ONLY because of its appeal in Asian markets, especially China where it generated the most Box Office income of any any market in which it was released. PACIFIC RIM: UPRISING is a real-world case of that scenario playing out.ĭespite being the brainchild of Mexican film-maker Guillermo del Toro, UPRISING’s 2013 progenitor was not a run away box office success. Sometimes an unlikely number of contributing factors combine and, at a moment in time, someone with the authority to do so says, “Yes, I will provide the money needed.” Winchester: The House That Ghosts Built (2018) The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (2018) The House With A Clock In Its Walls (2018) Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)įantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018) Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (2016) Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016) The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 (2015)ġ3 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016)īatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)įantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse (2015) Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension (2015) Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015)
