Principal photography has been going on for several weeks now and those involved in the project haven’t been shy about posting images from Pacific Rim: Uprising‘s set and teasing the characters and scope of the sequel either.
Well known for its gorgeous visuals and inimitable monster vs robot fight sequences, it offered an interesting change of pace to the rest of the usual superhero vs superhero action sequences and set pieces that populate a majority of blockbuster films nowadays.
It’s an accomplishment in and of itself too, that anticipation for Uprising has been as high as it has been, considering just how integral del Toro’s vision and direction was to the first film’s success.
While it struggled to obtain much of a domestic following upon its initial release, Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim has gone on to become one of the filmmaker’s most beloved films to date over the past few years.
