The Last Mimzy

11 Jan 2007


I just got sent a press release about The Last Mimzy, which I hadn't heard anything about before, and sounds like it could be interesting.

"The Last Mimzy tells the story of two children who discover a mysterious box that contains some strange devices they think are toys. As the children play with these “toys,� they begin to display higher and higher intelligence levels."

It's based on the 1943 short story “Mimsy Were the Borogoves� by Lewis Padgett. The trailers are here, the main site here. Could be a family SF film ala Spileberg, if done right. I can't however find any mention of a UK release at the moment.
