Jane Schoenbrun has gagged us by officially confirming there will be NO alternative cut, A24 simply made a mistake, but they got to make exactly the movie they wanted.
“The first episode of The Pink Opaque they watch is about an Ice Cream Man named Mr. Sprinkly. The episode makes many references to the Pete and Pete episode ‘What We Did on Our Summer Vacation.’ Mr. Sprinkly looks very reminiscent of Mr. Tastee.”

Jane Schoenbrun’s upcoming trilogy of novels was initially going to be a three-season TV series, but they couldn’t secure financing for such an ambitious show.
The project came close to materializing at HBO but ultimately fell through.
Jane Schoenbrun describes their upcoming book universe as “a contemporary queer opus on the scale of
'Sandman, 'Lord of the Rings, or even, groan, 'Harry Potter."
