\"\"<\/a>Guillermo Del Toro may have already set up his next project<\/a> once he finishes next summer’s Pacific Rim<\/strong>, but he is not leaving that world\u2019s giant robots and monsters behind. The director has been asked by Warner Brothers to start development on a sequel, even though it will still be seven months before the first box office receipts indicate whether one is warranted.<\/p>\n

According to the Hollywood Reporter<\/a><\/em>, Del Toro will be working with Pacific Rim<\/strong>\u2019s initial screenwriter Travis Beacham to craft a script for a Part 2<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Of course at this point, it is unclear as to whether Del Toro would return to the director\u2019s chair for the hypothetical sequel, though he would undoubtedly at least hold a producer\u2019s credit. He is definitely set to do his haunted house project Crimson Peak<\/strong> as his next film in early 2014 and has a number of other projects in development. His participation will come down to his schedule, how quickly Warners would like the sequel in theaters and possibly how much the studio might be willing to pay Del Toro to postpone further some of his other projects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The director is already at work on a follow up while still finishing the first film.<\/div>\n
