The new trailer for Vincenzo Natali’s cautionary film on human DNA experimentation, Splice, is out today over at MySpace. The official breakdown (borrowed from Syfy):
Sci-Fi Thriller. Superstar genetic engineers Clive (Adrien Brody) and
Elsa (Sarah Polley) specialize in splicing together DNA from different
animals to create incredible new hybrids. Now they want to use human
DNA in a hybrid that could revolutionize science and medicine. But when
the pharmaceutical company that funds their research forbids it, Clive
and Elsa secretly conduct their own experiments. The result is Dren, an
amazing, strangely beautiful creature that exhibits uncommon
intelligence and an array of unexpected physical developments. And
though, at first, Dren exceeds their wildest dreams, she begins to grow
and learn at an accelerated rate–and threatens to become their worst
nightmare.
Devin caught it at Sundance and you can read his review here. Splice opens on June 4th.
