PACIFIC RIM MAELSTROM - The GUILLERMO DEL TORO SEQUEL that never was
Ah, what could have been. Before Legendary pictures got took over, Guillermo Del Toro had plans for his own sequel to 2013's Pacific Rim, that was reportedly and tentatively titled Maelstrom. This is the story of why it never happened.
Please note that I don't claim to own any material featured in this video, it's being used to illustrate my own points and make critical reviews and discussion.

Pacifi Rim is one of my favorite movies ever, I was so dissapointed GDT's vision of the franchise didn't continue, and the second one ended up being a Michael Bay Transformers type of movie

honestly that sounds kind of stupid. the Precursors being future humans makes no sense and would’ve just been there for a shocking plot twist.

Something tells me Guillermo's sequel would of gotten some criticism here and there but it still would of been leagues better than uprising, very glad the black does line up with some ideas that Guillermo had for a sequel. One of them being he didn't want a sequel to feel like the first movie all over again, the black succeeded in feeling different but familiar meanwhile uprising was literally just pacific rim 1 all over again, that movie even got rid of most of the jaegers just to have 4 jaegers be the only hope humanity has, just like the first film.

Franchise needs a prequel movie on how it started , deltoro should come back and reboot starting 2 but leave 1 as it is... unless that happens, RIP pacific rim .... anime was fucking garbage with thw whole stupid human hybrid kaiju bullshit storyline... and teenagers piloting mk 3 jeager which been known to put out lots of stress on pilots.

@@drenx87 Guillermo already had a prequel series planned and it got canceled, he wished for a pacific rim series in general to happen in the future and we got the anime. You want a prequel? Go read tales from year zero/beyond the drift which Guillermo approved of, Obviously you missed the entire point of my comment 🙄. The concept hybrids was already something Guillermo had planned in the first place even with him having the concept of the precursors being futuristic humans but a human hybrid is too much? Gtfoh. Guillermo is known for his weird ideas and tne black lines up with what he wanted in a sequel. Also atlas was a TRAINING jaeger, it's literally MEANT to put LESS strain on it's pilots who are meant to inexperienced. 🤦 jeez did you think properly about the backgrounds of the planned sequel and prequel before commenting?

If you remember, after drifting with a kaiju brain, Newt even says, that the precursors had their trial run with the dinosaurs, but the air pollution was not at an adequate level. They needed modern humanity to get the pollution to the level that would be suitable to start terraforming the planet. Also, am I the only one who's not fond of the whole time travel and Precursors being future humanity idea? Probably, Travis Beacham would've had a different idea.

Guillermo Del Toro is one of the best creative directors we have in Hollywood. He made the right decision with his career making Shape of Water than this sequel. It got him that oscar accolade in Hollywood. Universal should had waited for Guillermo Del Toro to comeback after he made Shape of Water. Universal is probably kicking there ass for not waiting for him.

Uh....pacific rim the black is that continuation....also....kaiju no.8?...gridman? Dynazenon?, shin gojira/ultraman?, rampage?, the entire monsterverse?. There's been nothing BUT good kaiju content since 2013. Only downsides were the anime godzilla trilogy, uprising and debatably godzilla singular point and the Netflix ultraman anime.

@@griffincrump5077 The term "kaiju" especially "Daikaiju" means "large strange beast" and rampage literally has 3 giant animals the size most kaiju would be. That literally counts as kaiju content regardless. Nothing is going to live up to the original pacific rim which is the entire point Guillermo literally had in mind, he wanted a sequel that didn't copy his first film (uprising) and the black literally did it's own things while acknowledging the first film. THAT is what Guillermo wanted, a sequel that didn't make his audience feel like they're watching the same work twice. Still makes no sense you said there's a lack in good kaiju content when we been getting mostly good kaiju content recently

@@Kaiju-bm4ts I feel like you’re getting a little too angry about my opinion here but for what it’s worth uprising didn’t feel like I was watching the original so by your same standards to was the sequel he intended to, also I know the definition of Kaiju you don’t need to be a condescending ass about it, sure rampage is 3 giant monsters but I wouldn’t really say that alone sums up the genre, I don’t consider the original King Kong a Kaiju movie, nor would I consider Jurassic world a Kaiju movie, I also wouldn’t consider rampage all that good either, but these are my opinions. If you can’t handle that it sounds like a you problem. If you’re just here to say “no your opinion is wrong” then don’t bother. There’s not a whole bunch of us here, don’t be a dick.

@@griffincrump5077 That's not necessarily a good way of using my standards when those were the standards of what Guillermo wanted in a sequel, not my own uprising reused the same concepts from the original while contradicting the original at the same time, in terms of the tone it didn't feel like the original but overall the movie did the same things as the first movie but worst. THAT is why it didn't live up to Guillermo's standards. Top of that rampage can be described as a dumb fun movie which is literally the same vibe that godzilla vs kong literally has along with half of the genre being filled with dumb fun kaiju projects. The original king kong IS a kaiju film my guy, especially when kong was the one that started the trope of giant creatures appearing in cinema and was one of the 2 monsters that inspired godzilla. Even mentioning the original jurassic Park isn't so much a good example when dinosaurs were real creatures, kaiju are mostly fictional and are either mutated or their own species of animal.

To be honest, we can say it is Wanda who saved the pacific rim franchise for some reasons. First, Pacific rim cost 190 million to make and get 410 million box office, which turn out to be a box flop since normally you need get at least 2.5 times or 3 times the budget to make even. Beside ,Pacific rim only make 54 million on DVD&Blue-ray and Warner Bros spent 170 million on market budget. Second, before Legendary acquired by Wanda, the sequel is already “off the table” by Universal Studios due to the reason such as Pacific rim cost so much but still turn out to be a box flop, it is too risky to invest the sequel , not to mention Legendary keeps produce movies that turn out to be a giant box flop after they start cooperate with Universal Studios. (GDT's movie : Crimson Peak also turn out to be a big box flop , there is no reason for Universal Studios helps Legendary to make a sequel which not only origin movie did sucks on box offive but also might cost more than the origin one. That's why I anm glad that we still get a sequel and animation for Pacific rim franchise,despite the sequel is not as good as the origin one. (because normally movie which did sucks on box office should get any of them.

That's interesting to know. I was aware, that the movie wasn't financially successful, but I always assumed that it made at least a small profit, or at the very least, barely broke even...if I recall, it made the most in China. But yeah, we were very lucky to even get a sequel in the first place. Too bad it turned out the way it did.

@@lacko623 It true that this movie hit great in China(and that why they decide to make a sequel because back then they want some franchise that traget on global market plus there isn't much choice for both Legendary and Universal Studios in 2014. But as time goes ,Universal Studios start hold some franchise such as jurassic world or Pitch Perfect that cost less money and did great on International Box Office , there is no need for Universal Studios to continue invest some risky movie like pacific rim sequel. Beside,did great in China is still not eoungh.

Honestly, for an alien species that’s evolved so far they most likely don’t know that we even had a Stone Age. My question is why didn’t they just grab like a 20km rock bring it through a rift into space and drop it on us. That would’ve probably wiped us out.

Del Toro isn't good, he's ok at best. He's just slightly better and more original than the other schlock directors and writers of hollywood. That's it. Most of the current original or distinct directors are just that, not great, just slightly better than the other mass produced garbage in hollywood and that's it, that's the level. Even Cameron is extremely dull probably due to old age. And Ridley Scott has always been overrated.
