This has been a hard week. There have been some difficulties at work, and now this. I can barely bring myself to type the words: Pacific Rim 2 has been put on hold indefinitely and may be canceled. What is wrong with this world! We were this close (imagine my fingers really close together) to getting a movie about giant robot proliferation! “Giant robot proliferation” might be the greatest thing I have ever typed. I mean I want to just keep typing it (giant robot proliferation). Nuclear proliferation might be questionable, but giant robot proliferation is a defense that I think we can all get behind. A movie about it? Even freaking better!
I guess I need to hold out hope until there is more to go on, but the picture that The Hollywood Reporter paints isn’t pretty. This movie needs to happen. I will get a big hat and we can all put money in it to fund this film independently. If 190 million of us all just give a dollar we should be good. Well at least Crimson Peak comes out soon, so I can get my Guillermo del Toro fix that way, but creepy gothic horror is no substitute for giant robot proliferation. Anyway I think I need some alone time…
