Mimic (1997)

Trivia: Director Guillermo del Toro's father was kidnapped and held for ransom for two months around the time the movie was made and released. Despite this, del Tor has half-jokingly, half-seriously said that working with Bob and Harvey Weinstein was the worst thing that ever happened to him, as they were rude and kept asking him to change the movie in different ways. He quipped that he at least knew what the kidnappers wanted (money), whereas he had no clue what the Weinsteins wanted out of the film.

Mimic (1997)

Trivia: According to director Guillermo del Toro, the instant he knew he was going to have problems making the film was when he submitted a test shot of the monsters, which are giant insects. The studio then contacted him and complained that the giant insects... looked too much like giant insects.
