Guillermo del Toro posted a message over on deltorofilms regarding the Cronos Criterion DVD and the Mimic Director’s Cut DVD.
CRONOS is evolving nicely. We are including a NEVER-SEEN-BEFORE version of GEOMETRIA (1987) the short that I made for 1 thousand bucks and that I was never able to finish the way I wanted it. NOW I re-finsihed it for this disc (dont worry, no CGI or fancy stuff) and I like it- I never did before- but now I do.
CRONOS has never looked so beautiful and we found dozens of photographs of the making of the device, etc
MIMIC is looking fabulous. Some of the negative had been lost but we found alternatives and are finishing the Director’s Cut. VERY HAPPY!!
This is very exciting news as Cronos is a simply brilliant film and I can’t wait to get a nice clean version of the film. Mimic was flawed but did have a good concept and some spooky imagery. It will be interesting to see what changes are made to it in the Director’s Cut.
