Guillermo del Toro is bringing us back to Pacific Rim in 2017 for a second installment. Despite a disappointing box office result, Pacific Rim did gain a decent amount of positive reviews and a lot of people did like it. It was rumored that a sequel was in the works back in October of last year, but things are now official.
Pacific Rim is switching from Warner Bros. to Universal after Universal acquired Legendary Pictures last year. Zak Penn will also takeover on writing and will replace Travis Beacham while Guillermo del Toro will return to direct. Universal announced an April 7, 2017 release.

Guillermo del Toro's new project, The Strain, is set to premiere on FX. The network ordered a 13-episode series from del Toro shortly after production wrapped on the pilot episode. The Strain will make its network debut in July 2014. FX CEO John Landgraf predicted that the series will have anywhere between 39 and 65 episodes. That equals to no more than five seasons.
