When a mysterious blackout shuts down the city and the government traces the source of the power surge to this one family’s house, things quickly spin wildly out of their control. Emma, the younger of the two, tells her confused mother that one of the toys, a beat-up stuffed toy rabbit, is named Mimzy and that “she teaches me things.” Emma’s mom becomes increasingly concerned. Their parents, too, realize something extraordinary is happening. Their teacher tells their parents that they seem to have grown beyond genius. As the children play with these “toys,” they begin to display higher and higher intelligence levels. If you are not familiar with the movie here is the synopsis (from the studio): Based on the acclaimed sci-fi short story by Lewis Padgett, The Last Mimzy tells the story of two children who discover a mysterious box that contains some strange devices they think are toys. Since the good folks at New Line are trying to get the word out on Bob Shaye’s return to the director’s chair, they held a press day for the film here in Los Angeles and I decided to attend the event and support the film. If you’ve been reading the site for awhile you’ll think hasn’t Frosty already interviewed Bob for this film at Sundance and didn’t he post a video interview? The answer is yes and if you happened to have missed it you can check it out here.
