Written and Directed by Vincenzo Natali (Cube) and produced by Guillermo del Toro, has been on my radar for quite some time.  Finally some original Science Fiction and hopefully compelling ideas will be in the theaters.  I need a break from sequels and remakes.

Synopsis

Two young scientists (Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley) achieve fame by splicing human DNA with the DNA of different animals to create a new creature. In the process they ignore their society’s ethical and legal boundaries. The scientists name their creature “Dren”, which is initially a deformed female infant, however it rapidly develops into a beautiful but deadly winged human—chimera.

I really can’t wait for Vincenzo Natali’s film Splice, starring Adrien Brody, Sarah Polley, Delphine Chaneac, David Hewlett, and Brandon McGibbon. The film is also produced by creature genious Guillermo del Toro.

No news yet on U.S. Disribution as the Movie Studio has experienced some financial problems.  I hope this film comes out sooner rather than later!

Plot Synopsis:

Splice tells the tale of Elsa and Clive, two young rebellious scientists who defy legal and ethical boundaries and forge ahead with a dangerous experiment: splicing together human and animal DNA to create a new organism. Named Dren, the creature rapidly develops from a deformed female infant into a beautiful but dangerous winged human-chimera, who forges a bond with both of her creators – only to have that bond turn deadly.

Guillermo del Toro is the man.  Recently I found out he’s producing a really interesting sounding Science Fiction film called Splice .  Kind of an Alien meets Frankenstein type story, but these images turned my head in a huge way.

Directed by Vincenzo Natali (Cube) and starring Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley, Splice is the story of two rogue scientists who decide to take genetic splicing to the next level.  Basically, all hell then breaks loose.

Bloody Disgusting has a first look at the creature in some hi-res pics. Here’s a taste, but you’ll have to click on over to them to check out the rest:

This is looking to be pretty awesome.  I can’t wait to see a trailer for this.  I’ll be following this movie closely, so stay tuned!
