'Pacific Rim 2' development still going: Guillermo del Toro

Director Guillermo del Toro has assured fans the potential sequel to his 2013 "Pacific Rim" has not been shelved, contrary to a media report.
The director responded on Twitter to an earlier report that "Pacific Rim 2" had been shelved indefinitely, said The Hollywood Reporter.
He wrote, "Don't believe everything you read. It's still going and I'll remain w it in one way or another!"
The director was originally scheduled to have followed last year's "Crimson Peak" with the follow-up to his cult 2013 monster movie, but it emerged last week that he was in talks to develop a new version of "Fantastic Voyage" for James Cameron's Lightstorm Entertainment and 20th Century Fox instead.

The status of "Pacific Rim 2" has been in flux for some time; Universal scheduled the movie for a summer 2017 release last June, before removing it from the calendar altogether the following September.
