Splice

[redhawk23]

Splice is a movie I first heard about about a year and half ago or so. It stars Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley as two scientist who specialize in the splicing together of various animal dna. They make the mistake of experimenting with human dna resulting in a creepy-sexy beast known as delpahine. Its directed by Vincenzo Natali.

Now everything I've seen and heard from the movie this movie has intrigued me, but i've never heard anything about a release. Apearantly a trailer screened at some conference or something at the begginning of january.

I was just wondering if anyone else knew anything about this movie.

I like the look of that Human/Animal hybrid. I'm gonna look this movie up. Movies like this have been done a billion times but this looks like something different.

Alot of the images on Bloody-Disgusting.com have been taken down. Apparently she is a Chimera. I could have sworn there was a teaser trailer somewhere but it's seems to be gone as well. I really like the concept of this film. The woman/Chimera looks awesome. Apparently, at some point she grows wings also.

Exactly what animals is she mixed with. Did any info get out about that?

And you should've put that info about her growing wings in a spoiler tag.

Another ALIEN inspired poster. Whoever created that original "In space, no one can hear you scream" Alien poster was truly a genius.

Splice Lives!

slashfilm had this to say today.

Screened at Frightfest but not online, at least as yet, was a world premiere clip from Vincenzo Natali’s Splice. On the screen of the Empire Leicester Square it looked simply astonishing, liquid and bright. There was definitely some kind of clinical Kubrick sheen to the cinematography and production design, while Natali’s own style, familiar from Cypher, Cube and Nothing, also shone through boldly.
The scene we were treated to comes from an early moment in the story. Clive and Elsa, as played by Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley, are a young couple who also work together trying to create new life forms from animal DNA. They won’t use anything lifted from the human genome for ethical reasons, but everything else is fair game. At this moment, they’ve created something, their most advanced ’something’ so far and it’s incubating in the lab.
Clive decides that it should be terminated while Elsa disagrees. What follows is the unveiling of the creature, and a tense scene in a lab wherein the little critter tries to avoid termination. We get a good look at the ‘thing’ in both pupal and larval states, for want of better descriptions, and in both practical and CG renderings. It looks more than good enough and definitely didn’t dampen the overall effect of the sequence - a growing, squirmy feeling of intrigue and fear cut with excitement.
I loved the script for Splice and Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley both seemed to be straight on target with their performances here. I know I’ll have a little wait to see the full picture, but in the meantime I’d settle for the clip showing up online.



surely they must have used some human dna in this case I mean you can't throw together a bat a cheetah and a crocodile or something and come up with the chick above.

I've been somewhat following this film since its announcement in 2006. Here's hoping for the best.

 

[Watson]

Yeah I hope we get to see it soon.

I can't believe that naked picture has been there for so long lol.

 

[Soapy]

Nothing sexual is going on. It's just ****.

Anyway, I heard about this movie...what seems like forever ago and was wondering what happened to it. It really intrigued me, but it totally fell off the radar. Glad to see it resurface.

Is this thing getting a theatrical release or what?

 

[xwolverine2]

it sounds interesting and looks cool... but i smell crap.. lol

 

[COAL TIGER]

Still no trailer? I've been following this since I found out about it early last year.

 

[SapphirePrima]

Is this movie going for a full release or just limited?
