From THR:
'Pacific Rim' Sequel Already in the Works with Writer Travis Beacham (Heat Vision Exclusive)
Guillermo del Toro's monsters vs. robots tentpole won't be released in July but Legendary already is prepping a follow-up.

Legendary is doubling down on Pacific Rim.
The company won’t release the Guillermo del Toro sci-fi tentpole until July 12, 2013, but it’s already laying the groundwork for a sequel, tapping Travis Beacham to pen the script.
Beacham wrote the initial treatment for Pac Rim, as the project is affectionately known, as a spec script, which Legendary picked up in June 2010. Del Toro quickly became involved in its development and when his passion project At the Mountains of Madness fell apart, he made it his next picture. Warner Bros. will distribute.
Rim centers on a defense force consisting of mechas, giant robots and their human pilots, who are fighting to save humanity from gigantic monsters invading from an other-worldly dimension.
Sources say Del Toro will supervise the writing of the sequel script, although at this stage it’s unclear whether he will direct. The filmmaker yesterday committed to helming a haunted house story, Crimson Peak, which Legendary — wanting to stay in the del Toro business — picked up from Universal. A January 2014 production start is being eyed.
Starting to work on a sequel prior to the release of the original movie is becoming more common in an age when release dates often are set years in advance. Studios would prefer to wait until the first weekend’s opening grosses come in before throwing another installment into development, but in cases where test scores or buzz is high, it happens. Warner Bros., for example, famously started working on The Hangover: Part II two months before the first installment hit theaters. Legendary is clearly feeling bullish that it has a franchise on its hands with Pacific Rim.
Beacham broke into Hollywood with his 2005 spec A Killing on Carnival Row, which del Toro was at one time attached to direct (the project remains in development at Kopelson Entertainment). He also worked on 2010’s Clash of the Titans and wrote drafts of Black Hole for Joe Kosinski at Disney and penned the initial draft of Bad Robot’s top secret Zanbato project for J.J. Abrams.
He is repped by WME, Anonymous Content and Hansen Jacobson. |

Anybody keeping an eye on this site?

I don't believed anyone's mentioned the countdown that's now on it. As of this writing, we have 4 days, 5 hours, and 42 minutes until... I dunno. What could it be?!?
I'd bet the trailer, which is supposed to debut in a few days anyways. Keep an eye on this site.

Only a few minutes now. Hope some of you are watching the countdown live. It's been confirmed that it's a trailer, and it's rumored to be over 2 minutes long. Decent time for a trailer, should get some good footage out of that.
Got this, too:

It was pretty cool, i was hoping to see a little bit more of the Kaijus since I've seen many pictures of the Mechs but it definitely has me excited!

Poster = Epic.
Tagline = Epicer.
"Epicer" is a word because I said it is.

saw the trailer. I will definetly see this movie. I with hold any and all expectations.
I learned to stop having expectations of good or bad from any movie, as either way can ruin a movie. |

Ah Mr. Negativity, that's music to my ears. As summer gets closer and closer, I'll be counting the down the days.

Now those are some interesting looking Kaiju! I can't wait to see this movie.
Thanks Mr. X! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known about these. Very cool!

And yes, those are official. 
Collectors (like myself) will be happy:
| Quote: | Toy Fair 2013 : A NECA Preview
We are a few days away from our first "official" Toy Fair 2013 appointment, but the news is still dropping like mad and we are scrambling like fools to scoop it up! Today, we got a tip on three new action figure properties coming from the masters of movie plastics; NECA. We had some fun speculating on what licenses were available and NECA came up more than a couple of times as the ones to watch. It turns out they've deffinately got some new action up their sleeves...
Pacific Rim: We'd been told NECA had this license, but that doesn't diminish out excitement for a line of toys based on giant Kaiju monsters battling massive Yeager robots one bit. Live Action Evangelion? Yes, please. NECA will kick off their line with three 7 inch "DX" figures of Knifehead Kaiju (a massive monster that surfaces from 5 miles below the sea), Yeager "Gipsy Danger" and Yeager "Crimson Typhoon". |
