Guillermo del Toro的创意简直是无穷无尽的，作为一个作家兼导演，他总是在创造着什么，要么是一部电影，要么是一部电视剧，要么是一本书。除了导演和作家之外，del Toro还是很多部电影的制作人，比如说《穿靴子的猫》，还有《霍比特人》系列。

　　他最近作为导演的一部作品是充斥着哥特式浪漫的《猩红山峰》，而他本来下一部打算制作的电影则是非常受人期待的《环太平洋》后续系列。但是该系列续集的制作已经遇到了一些预生产上的阻碍，所以有近期的新闻说它被无限期地取消了。但是据del Toro自己说，这个电影制作计划仍在进行当中。

　　作为国外微博的忠实用户，del Toro利用这个社交媒体平台澄清了之前的误传，不管这部电影现在遇到了什么困难。据他说，人们不应该完全相信他们所看到的一切，还保证无论如何他都会坚持下去。

　　图中字：《环太平洋2》被取消了?不要盲目相信你看到的各种消息。这部电影仍在进展当中，并且无论如何我都会坚持下去的!

　　《环太平洋2》的制作在去年遇到了第一个障碍，由于环球影业和传奇影业CEO Thomas Tull之间的紧张关系，这部电影被传无限期延迟了，它有可能会被推迟到一个更晚的日子，或者甚至直接取消。随即环球影业就宣布这部电影不会有一个官方的上映日期了，而是由《完美音调3》来填补这个空白。但是不管这些新闻怎么说，del Toro仍旧在坚持创作它的剧本，并且在一次采访中做出了让粉丝放心的声明，他说无论从何种角度上来看，这部电影都没有被取消。在这之后，del Toro就和粉丝们一起非常焦急地期待着各大影业为这部电影放绿灯了。

　　幸运的是，希望并没有完全丧失，即将收购传奇影业的中国万达集团可能可以延续这个系列的生命，毕竟《环太平洋》在中国取得的成绩比世界上其他任何地方，包括美国的成绩都要好。

　　在粉丝们翘首以盼的同时，del Toro也没有闲着，他还继续着手头上其他项目的行进，比如由他和Daniel Kraus撰写的儿童系列丛书改编而来的《巨怪猎人》系列在Netflix上的制作推进。并且他未来可能着手的项目还可能有经典科幻动作电影《神奇旅程》的翻拍，以及低成本制作吸血鬼电影《Silva》。除此之外，由他和Chuck Hogan所写的小说改编而成的电视剧《血族》的第三季也会在今年回归。

　　尽管有del Toro对《环太平洋2》没有被取消的消息的信誓旦旦的保证，这个系列的未来还是无法确定的。我们只能希望它不要跟第三部《地狱男爵》的电影一样被打入冷宫，希望各大影业能够发发善心。

　　Guillermo del Toro’s creativity is unstoppable; the writer and director is always working on something, whether a movie, TV show, or a book. In addition to directing and writing, del Toro has also served as producer for various films, such as Puss in Boots and Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy.

　　His latest work as director was the gothic romance Crimson Peak, and for some time the next project on his list was the highly anticipated sequel to the science-fiction monster film Pacific Rim. The sequel has been going through some pre-production obstacles, with the latest news stating it was “off the table” indefinitely. But according to del Toro, the project is still going.

　　Now an avid user of Twitter, del Toro used the social media platform to set things straight regarding the current status of Pacific Rim 2. According to him, people should not believe everything that is being said, and also reassured that he will stay with it “one way or another.”

　　Production of Pacific Rim 2 saw its first obstacle last year when, according to THR, the film was “halted indefinitely“ and could either be pushed back to a later date or canceled — this as a consequence of the tension between Universal and Legendary CEO Thomas Tull. Universal later announced the film no longer had an official release date, filling the void with the third instalment from the Pitch Perfect franchise. Despite all this, del Toro kept working on the script and, in an interview with Screen Rant, reassured fans that the sequel was not “by any means canceled.” After that, del Toro and his fans have been anxiously waiting for the studio to green-light the project.

　　However, hope is not completely lost. THR shared that the imminent acquisition of Legendary by the Chinese conglomerate Wanda could save the future of the sequel, as Pacific Rim performed much better in China than anywhere else in the world, including the US.

　　While fans wait for a sign, del Toro has other projects to work on, such as the development of the Netflix series Trollhunters, based on the children’s book written by him and Daniel Kraus. Among his possible future projects are the remake of the science-fiction classic Fantastic Voyage and the low-budget vampire movie Silva.Meanwhile, The Strain – based on the books written by del Toro and Chuck Hogan – will come back with season 3 this year.

　　Even with del Toro debunking rumors about the cancellation of Pacific Rim 2, the future of this would-be franchise is uncertain. Let’s hope it won’t fall in the same limbo as the third Hellboy film, and that the studio will find a way to make it happen.
