Although the director was signed up to direct the sequel, he ultimately didn바카라�t because the sound stages he wanted to shoot at were not available.

바카라�We were getting ready to do it, it was different from the first, but it had a continuation of many of the things that I was trying to do. Then what happened is바카라�I mean, this is why life바카라�s crazy, right?바카라�they had to give a deposit for the stages at 5 p.m. or we would lose the stages in Toronto for many months,바카라� Del Toro recalled during an interview with Collider to mark the films 10th anniversary of its release.

He continued: 바카라�So, I said, 바카라�Don바카라�t forget we바카라�re gonna lose the stages,바카라� and five o바카라�clock came and went, and we lost the stages. They said, 바카라�Well, we can shoot it in China.바카라� And I go, 바카라�What do you mean we?바카라� (Laughs) 바카라�I바카라�ve gotta go do Shape of Water.'바카라�

Del Toro went on to direct The Shape of Water which went on to win the Oscar for Best Picture in 2017 with the director also picking up an award in the Best Director category.

바카라�Pacific Rim: Uprising바카라� would go on to be released in 2018 with Steven S. DeKnight as the director and Del Toro signed up as a producer. Del Toro said that he has not watched the sequel and has a particular reason as to why he has not seen it.

바카라�I didn바카라�t see the final movie because that바카라�s like watching home movies from your ex-wife,바카라� he explained. 

바카라�It is terrible if they바카라�re good and worse if they바카라�re bad, or the opposite. You don바카라�t wanna know. So, I didn바카라�t see it. I did read the final script, and it was very different. Some of the elements were the same but very different.바카라�
