Pacific Rim 2 Rewrite Being Handled by Jurassic World Writer

But, that being said, with DeKnight on board as director and Connolly working on the rewrite for Pacific Rim 2, it’s unclear how faithful the sequel will be to the spirit of the original – which was a passion project for del Toro and Pacific Rim co-writer Travis Beacham.

Still, del Toro continued to work on Pacific Rim 2, and the film reportedly had a finished script.

Previous drafts of the Pacific Rim 2 script were worked on by del Toro, Zak Penn (The Incredible Hulk), and Jon Spaihts (Prometheus, Doctor Strange).
