Steven S. DeKnight is taking over directorial duties from Pacific Rim’s Guillermo del Toro and he is exactly the kind of person you would want directing a giant robot movie.
The people involved in Pacific Rim: Uprising are saying all the right things here, too.
He mentions growing up watching these types of stories and that he’s a fan of giant robots and monsters (who’s not).
Man, this is almost like a military recruitment video for the Pan Pacific Defense Corps’ Jaeger program.
