Actually, he s insanely brilliant, a walking embodiment of knifelike intellect wrapped in powder-blue scrubs, rubber gloves, and a stethoscope tie. Kaiju also fosters an air of mystery and a desire to keep its legacy inscrutable, which is why Dr. Cube agreed to grant an interview only via e.mail. We re really trying to distance ourselves from the characters, says David Borden, PR guy for Studio Kaiju and brother of one of the studio s founders. We really want the characters to speak for themselves. Cube himself has other reasons.
Humans tend to think and to communicate at such an incredibly slow pace.
Like any prodigy, Dr. Cube oozes eccentricity. He fancies himself a collector and has accumulated a gallery of exotic cars, rare birds, and back issues of Track and Driver. He cites Howard Hughes, Jan-Michael Vincent, and the Renaissance Man as his heroes. Asked where he lives, Cube explains that his independent wealth allows him to reside in a retrofitted mansion in the Boston area but being the mysterious fella that he is, he won t divulge the precise location of his compound. The complex is totally wired, he brags.
