Criterion to release Cronos and Mimic: Director’s Cut

There was talk about this happening earlier this year, and according to Guillermo del Toro himself, they are going to be released by Criterion.  Expect both to be definitive releases with a plethora of supplemental features.

“Cronos is evolving nicely,” says Del Toro. “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-finished it for this disc (don’t worry, no CGI or fancy stuff) and I like it- I never did before- but now I do.”

“Cronos has never looked so beautiful,” continues Del Toro. “And we found dozens of photographs of the making of the device, etc.”

“Mimic is looking fabulous,” he says. “Some of the negative had been lost but we found alternatives and are finishing the Director’s Cut. VERY HAPPY!!”
