I haven’t watched the trailers for the upcoming genetic thriller Splice in hopes of keeping it all a mystery and as such I almost wish I had never seen this poster as it gives us a better look at the source of Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley’s tinkering that led to the creation of a new species that runs wild in Vincenzo Natali’s feature that is set to hit theaters on June 4.
The official synopsis reads as follows:
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 of 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.
