What’s Going On With the MIMIC Director’s Cut?
Good question.
You may have seen some articles around the internet proclaiming the MIMIC Criterion Director’s Cut was coming soon. Unfortunately, this was an April Fool’s Day gag from Twitch Film that got picked up by various sites.
The truth is that the much anticipated MIMIC Director’s Cut DVD has been suspended. My source says that budget cuts at Disney/Miramax is the reason the project isn’t happening at the moment.
But hold on to hope, GDT fans. You never know what might happen – a little boost in the economy and tidal wave of HOBBIT publicity might put the project back on the map.
In the meantime, why not read the ORIGINAL script by GDT and Matt Greenberg. Its very different from the movie, including this nice little surprise at the end (SPOILERS):
MANNY
Dios mio…
The WHITE PILLAR BEHIND CHUY IS MOVING…
…unfolding…
…at last revealing…
AN ALBINO MIMIC!
Another leap for evolution…
Its form is different from the other Mimics. Sleeker, more
supple, almost beautiful. And while its movements are still
not completely human, there is a kind of unearthly grace to
them that at the very least entrance us.
