[Shin Densetsu]

While interviewing Pacific Rim director Guillermo del Toro, Indiewire let out that there is a sequel being worked on, in its early stages:

Quote:

Indiewire: You're in the very early stages of a "Pacific Rim" sequel. If you do that would you shoot it in native 3D?
Guillermo del Toro: Yes. Provided, at that point, that the technology is becoming easier and easier…

He then talked about 3D conversion:

Quote:

Indiewire: Initially you didn't want it to be converted…
Guillermo del Toro: Even then they were super respectful. By then we were already getting ILM shots. I was realizing that out of 100 shots, maybe 10% of the shots were risky. They said, "If we go 2D on those shots, we can do it." Then I gave them my list of conditions. They spent twice of what they normally spend on [this process], because they gave me the chance to pay ILM to do every single shot in native 3D. They aren't being converted. So all the big 3D effects shots are being done by ILM from the get go. Normally they give a movie a 14 to 16 week conversion time [for 3D]. I started the conversion back in September. So it's six months for conversion. It's very classy.
