New Hollywood live-action anime adaptations in the works

Yeah, I know about Pacific Rim 2. Note I said "did poorly in the U.S.". Pacific Rim did REAL good overseas, mainly because nobody does that kind of huge epic screen thing like Hollywood.

According to IMDB, the film cost close to $200 million USD and only took in just over $100 Million domestic gross (not factoring in home video, streaming, download, pay-per-view or TV syndication sales) which marks it as a crashing failure. And yet it did well over $300 million USD from the rest of the world, and again not factoring in all those other extra sales. That makes it worth making another movie, I am going to expect they'll demand the budget be kept down.

I'm hoping that a more modest budget won't lend to cheaper looking special effects. The first movie looked pretty great, I'd hate to see it suffer too much. ;__;
