Full ‘Splice’ Gallery Returns, Beautiful Stills!
For those of you attending Sitges, get ready for the world premiere of Vincenzo Natali’s (Cube) highly anticipated Splice, which stars Adrien Brody, Sarah Polley, Delphine Chaneac, David Hewlett and Brandon McGibbon. Word on the street is this is one helluva movie, so hopefully with Senator out of business, a new company will come in and snatch the film up for release here in the States. You can check out the return of the first ever stills by reading beyond the break and watch this spot for release info as it comes in. We’ll also try and bring you a review from Sitges if at all possible.
The film is about Elsa and Clive, two young rebellious scientists, 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.
