Wow...I'm genuinely curious as to how this will be translated into a film. I wonder which of the short sotries they will be focusing on...

Can't say I love the content from what I've read of its manga counterpart...the characters are a bit too emotionless and sinister to be human (the main male lead seriously creeps me out) but the art is truely very nice.

Mimic 3 director and videogame script writer J.T. Petty is set to direct the film.


I think this sentence pretty much sums up the potential for the film. Granted Petty is probably not nearly as bad as someone like Uwe Boll, but a third Mimic movie...

The plot summary makes it sound like they'll remove the emotionless and creepy side of things, which was the primary appeal of the novel.
