Up until a few years ago, Guillermo del Toro seemed to refrain from wanting to talk about his first foray into big time Hollywood filmmaking. When Scott Mendelson and I saw him at a Q&A in 2008, one of his stipulations before questioning began was the he would not take any questions regarding Mimic, his 1997 monster thriller. Guillermo was always upset with this film and he almost never worked in Hollywood again. His experience was one that was a nightmare, but shared by many a director in the mid 1990s.
