Win 'The Last Mimzy' Movie Prizes
Film Opens Nationwide March 23
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.As the children play with these "toys," they begin to display higher and higher intelligence levels. Their teacher tells their parents that they seem to have grown beyond genius. Their parents, too, realize something extraordinary is happening. 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."As Emma's mom becomes increasingly concerned, a blackout shuts down the city and the government traces the source of the power surge to Emma's family's house. Things quickly spin wildly out of their control. The children are focused on these strange objects, Mimzy, and the important mission on which they seem to have been sent.When the little girl says that Mimzy contains a most serious message from the future, a scientific scan shows that Mimzy is part extremely high-level electronic and part organic. Everyone realizes that they are involved in something incredible -- but what exactly?The film stars Timothy Hutton, Joely Richardson, Rainn Wilson, Michael Clarke Duncan and newcomers Rhiannon Leigh Wryn and Chris O'Neil as the children, Emma and Noah.Rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for some thematic elements, mild peril and language, "The Last Mimzy" opens in theaters nationwide March 23.The Contest
