Since the Kaiju are engineered and the two research scientists have drifted with an alive Kaiju brain, I would not be surprised if we see bio-Jaegers in Pacific Rim 2.

^ That sounds like it might be exactly what he has in mind:


[quote="Guillermo Del Toro"]There was a line that I deleted from the movie that will come back if I do a second movie. Newt explained that the Kaiju are not carbon based organisms like humans, they are silicon based. The only part I left of his explanation is that they have a hive mentality, meaning that if you “driftâ€

That's awesome. We could see an arms race between the Aliens and the Humans on who can build the better tool of destruction. It would be especially bad-ass if by the 3rd one the humans have turned the tables and are now using the Rift to send wave after wave of Jaegers to exterminate the aliens (also a moral point).

I just hope there is a quadrupedal jaeger. How badass would that be?

Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim, despite its appearances, is neither a Transformers prequel nor a follow up to Hollywood’s countless Godzilla movies. But we can understand why you’d believe that Del Toro’s blockbuster belongs to the same family tree that created said franchises. In fact, one of my first thoughts after a recent Rim screening was, “How the hell is Gareth Edwards going to top this with his planned Godzilla reboot in 2014?â€

Couldn't agree more with his choice of favourite kaiju. And even though I wouldn't have immediately guessed War of the Gargantuas, it really does have that tragic/misunderstood monster aspect to it that he loves, so I can see why that would be one of his picks for his favourite movies.

I'm surprised the guy didn't ask him what his reaction would be if he was ever asked to direct a Godzilla movie though. I know he said he wouldn't like to play in an established movie sandbox universe, but he was going to be directing The Hobbit at one point, and Godzilla is such a malleable character and universe that I'm sure if he ever got the chance he could do great things with it.

Though maybe after Pacific Rim that's just me being greedy.

It should be listed as barely in development. Del Toro and Beachem are just toying around with some ideas.

With these box office returns, I wouldn't even entertain the possibility now. Nothing but disappointment will be found down this road.
