Legendary on the set of Pacific Rim [HD]
After Dune got a prequel series with Max's Dune: Prophecy , Legendary Entertainment is looking to do the same for another film title, Pacific Rim. An origin story for the Pacific Rim film franchise is in the works at the indie studio headed by Eric Heisserer (Shadow and Bone, Bird Box). It's part of a first-look deal that sees Heisserer and Chronology, his recently launched production company with Carmen Lewis, sign with Legendary to work on IP and related projects.
“Eric is a multi-talented, prolific creator whose track record of critical and commercial success speaks for itself,” said Jason Clodfelter, President of Legendary Television. “We are thrilled to launch our partnership with Eric, Chronology and Carmen with a new entry in the epic, globally beloved Pacific Rim universe.”
In the Pacific Rim universe, humanity fights monsters by creating their own. Faced with oblivion, humanity built Jaegers—massive, mechanized warriors piloted by our bravest and smartest from around the world—to defend against an invasion of colossal, transdimensional beings known as Kaiju.
