Script nearly complete, will be an origin story about the Kaijus & the Jaeger tech
"It’s going well," said Penn. "Guillermo and I have been passing the script back and forth and right now it’s in his hands." When pressed for further details on what the story would entail, he responded by saying: "But honestly, I don’t think I could tell you anything that Guillermo hasn’t already said. Obviously as you can imagine, there’s going to be a lot more about the Kaiju and their origins, and the world will be in a very different state when we get to this movie. He and Travis created this enormous universe that’s pretty much like multiple movies smashed into one. So with Pacific Rim, you could just assume that all the specific tropes of the movie, like the giant robots and the giant monsters and all the technology around it, is going to be explored in more depth. That’s just where we’re going."
