Warner Bros has released a second trailer for writer/director Vincenzo Natali’s creature thriller Splice, my second most anticipated film of the summer.
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.
Guillermo del Toro is among the executive producers who helped get this long-gestating project the funding and support it needed. Alongside Natali, the script was co-written by Antoinette Terry Bryant and Doug Taylor. Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley star.
Splice will receive a wide release by Warner Bros on June 4th.
