Director Guillermo del Toro shared his thoughts on Pacific Rim Uprising, the sequel to his film Pacific Rim.Released in 2013, del Toro’s Pacific Rim is set in a world where colossal sea creatures have emerged from an interdimensional portal in the ocean to wreak havoc on humanity, and the only hope for survival is to fight back with large humanoid mechas. It’s the highest earner of del Toro’s career in terms of box office profits, but the filmmaker didn’t return to direct the 2018 sequel, Pacific Rim Uprising. While at a 10th-anniversary screening of Pacific Rim hosted by Collider, del Toro explained exactly what led to his exit from the director’s chair.”We were getting ready to do it, it was different from the first, but it had a continuation of many of the things that I was trying to do,” del Toro revealed. “Then what happened is—I mean, this is why life’s crazy, right?—they had to give a deposit for the stages at 5pm or we would lose the stages in Toronto for many months. So, I said, ‘Don’t forget we’re gonna lose the stages,’ and five o’clock came and went, and we lost the stages. They said, ‘Well, we can shoot it in China.’ And I go, ‘What do you mean we?’ [Laughs] ‘I’ve gotta go do Shape of Water.’”Related: Guillermo del Toro’s Unmade Star Wars Movie Highlights a Major Problem With the Franchise
