Kaiju preparing a new attack
After hitting overwhelmingly negative press coverage this spring with blockbuster Pacific Rim 2 and failing to make it to self-sufficiency, the franchise's future is in serious jeopardy. As it became known to The Wrap, the story of the confrontation between giant kaiju and mechanized rangers will still be further developed. The heroes of the fantasy universe will hit the small screens in the new anime series from the online service Netflix.The presentation of the TV project took place at the festival "See what happens next" taking place these days in Singapore. Insiders are still at a loss to say how the rights to Pacific Rim ended up in the hands of Netflix bosses. It is possible that they have struck a deal with Hollywood studio Legendary Pictures for the production of a single animated series. At the same time, one should not exclude the possibility that the streaming giant bought the entire franchise in its entirety: after the inexpressive performance of the sequel at the box office, this intellectual property must have lost significantly in value. The showrunners of the anime series will be the famous comic book author and one of the screenwriters of the superhero blockbuster "Thor: Ragnarok" Craig Kyle, as well as the veteran of the animation world Greg Johnson, who was part of the author groups of such cartoon shows as "Transformers: Battle of Beasts" and "Wolverine. and the X-Men. Start". In the center of the story will be a brother and sister who will have to learn how to manage an abandoned gamekeeper in order to find their missing parents in hostile territory.  Fans of the Pacific Rim universe can only hope that the anime series will be successful and will be able to return the interest of the general public to the main film series. Several other promising animation projects were also announced at See What Happens, including a television adaptation of the Japanese manga Insect Killer and a feature film based on the popular sci-fi series Altered Carbon.
