===''Light Years''===

The impetus for del Toro's film ''[[Mimic (film)|Mimic]]'' originally began in the form of an unmade [[anthology film]] titled ''Light Years'', which was to feature four short [[science fiction]] segments, "but with a different bent for each." The other directors were [[Bryan Singer]], [[Danny Boyle]] and [[Gary Fleder]]. According to del Toro, the studio opted to abandon the project and morph his and Fleder's segments into features instead. "I initially said I don't think there is enough there for a feature," del Toro recalled. "I think it is a perfect short, but there's not enough there for two hours." Boyle was the only one able to film his segment, though it has never been shown, whereas Fleder's was later made as ''[[Impostor (2001 film)|Imposter]]]'' in 2001. Del Toro described Singer's as "very abstract, very philosophical".<ref>{{cite web|last=Rosenberg|first=Grant|url=http://gadflyonline.com/04-15-02/ftr-guillermo.html|title=Movies Are Like Religion|website=Gadfly Online|date=April 15, 2002|access-date=January 3, 2024}}</ref>
