Variety reported that
Arrival screenwriter Eric Heisserer was attached <a data-i13n="elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:2;pos:1" class="no-affiliate-link" href="

<p>The new series will apparently be a prequel to Guillermo Del Toro's original
Pacific Rim, a movie about Kaiju-fighting giant mechs and the humans that pilot them. Legendary, which produced
Pacific Rim, is also backing the series alongside Amazon MGM. The studio appears to be using the same strategy with
Pacific Rim that worked with its Godzilla-and-King-Kong-starring "MonsterVerse" franchise. <a data-i13n="elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:3;pos:1" class="no-affiliate-link" href="

<span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>Heisserer has plenty of experience adapting existing material. His
Arrival script converted an experimental second-person short story into a (relatively) thoughtful blockbuster, and his work on Netflix's
Shadow and Bone found a clever way to interweave the first book in Leigh Bardugo's series with characters from a later duology.
Pacific Rim seems a lot more straightforward in comparison.</p>
<p>There's yet to be an official announcement from Amazon, or any dates for when we can expect the series to be available, but there has been quite a bit of new
Pacific Rim material since the first film came out in 2013. The live-action sequel <a data-i13n="elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:4;pos:1" class="no-affiliate-link" href="
