It's already been two years since Pacific Rim released, two years! It's about time we start hearing about the sequel to the giant robot monster fighting film!
According to Global News, filming on the follow-up film will begin this November in Toronto and is expected to work its way well into the following year. Pacific Rim (2013) originally began filming in November 2011 and kept filming until April 2012.
If we can take away anything from the 2013 film's schedule is that the release date of August 4, 2017 should be on schedule – they begin filming this November, wrap-up in April and work in the post-FXs up until release date.
A film schedule isn't the only thing floating around the web, apparently the sequel will be titled 'Maelstrom'.
