The Director's Cut - 27th September 2011!

Bring it on! I'm so thankful that he was able to do this with all the stuff he has on his plate. He obviously cares about his art and his fans. It's time for him to direct a new film.

Agreed, it sounds so *sick* to hear and behold! incredible that its happened at all, cos not most finished films have another chance at having a special edition or director's cut! Nice to know that Guillermo del Toro rise and stature in hollywood has gotten him far enough so he can achieve all of this years later, as i said other director's aren't so fortunate themselves to do the same etc.

Great news !

Anyone know if this will be released in UK ?

Purchased the "Mimic: The Director's Cut" and "Blood Simple" Blu-Rays on Sept. 6th from Best Buy.

First off, I had a difficult time recognizing the additions in "Mimic", although it's been a few years since the last time I viewed it. Anyone looking for significant changes will be sorely disappointed- there is no change to the ending whatsoever. There appears to be some changes to the color schemes involving some scenes (as is the norm with Del Toro's other films)- here, there's quite a bit of golden/amber hued and blue saturated scenes. Furthermore, the film has been absolutely drenched in darkness- mostly to a fault. I would also go as far as to say that the picture quality is very disappointing- there are large amounts of grain in many scenes and detail is shaky at best. I watched the "Blood Simple' Blu-Ray shortly after that and the experience made the "Mimic" BR look that much worse- the Coen Bros film, from 1985, is also a dark film by nature yet looks 10 times better as far as clarity and detail is concerned. It blows the "Mimic" BR, a film made in 1997, out of the water.

I'm a big fan of Del Toro's, so I felt the timing and quality of this release is particularly bad- MGM giving him the runaround on "The Hobbit" films, losing "At The Mountains of Madness" (which I was very much looking forward to)and the lackluster productions of "Splice" and "Don't Be Afraid of The Dark" (I feel the latter film features Del Toro's worst screenplay) have left him in the Horse Latitudes, so to speak. I hope "Pacific Rim" is excellent, yet there's about a 100 other projects I wish he could tackle before it...

Too bad there aren't more Directors like him.

I thought del Toro had disowned the film...

Well I saw the director's cut, unfortunately I'm really not sure what was removed or added - I was a kid when I last saw it. Presumably Movie-Censorship.com will do a full report once they get a hold of the new cut.
I don't mean to impose, but I am the Ocean.

Just picked up the blu ray, watched it tonight. Far better than I remember back in 97.

Del Toro's commentary explained that he orginally wanted a different ending but the studio wouldn't allow it. Makes me wonder how many average movies could have been great if the studio just allowed the director a bit more freedom.

Mimic could have been an amazing film instead of just a well done monster movie.

Mwuhahahahhaaa!
