A whole year before Gareth Edwards massively successful monster movie Godzilla, Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim attempted to pre-empt the forthcoming monster movie madness when it was released in 2013. The film was moderately successful, amassing over $411 million in worldwide box office takings. The fact that it took a while to accumulate those earnings and the possibility that it could have earned considerably more at the box office had it followed in the wake of the king of the monsters instead of ahead of it, has meant that the planned sequel Pacific Rim: Maelstrom has been experiencing problems leaving the launch pad.

Production on the sequel was set begin this October in Toronto, Canada, but according to new reports its looking as though production has been delayed until "sometime" next year. The movie is still officially scheduled for its August 4th, 2017 release date, though if production has in fact been delayed it seems only logical that so to would the release date.

Pacific Rim: Maelstrom is said to be set a few years after the events of the first movie, where incursions of Kaiju have become so commonplace that they are no longer percieved as a viable threat; though something tells us fans that this complacency is all a part of the Precursors plans, and that a threatening new category of Kaiju is just waiting to cause unforetold devastation. All of the surviving cast including Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day, Burn Gorman and Ron Perlman are set to return.
