Remember the epic clash of giant robots and monstrous creatures in 2013’s Pacific Rim? The Guillermo del Toro-directed film, with its breathtaking visuals and adrenaline-pumping action, captured the imaginations of audiences worldwide.
Despite a lukewarm sequel, the Pacific Rim franchise isn’t down for the count. Legendary Entertainment, holding the reins, has decided to breathe new life into this universe… in the form of a live-action series!
Pacific Rim Series: Journey to the Breach
Pacific Rim Series is envisioned as an origin story, a fresh take on the franchise rather than a direct continuation. Instead of new pilots and bigger Jaegers, the series will take us back to the beginning of the Kaiju war. How did these monstrous creatures emerge? What led to the creation of the Jaegers? The series promises to answer these questions and delve deeper into the rich lore of Pacific Rim.
