“Cosmetic” work before wide release
Reports were confirmed earlier this week that the thinking man’s creature feature Splice, directed by Cube‘s Vincenzo Natali, was picked up by Warner Bros. and Joel Silver’s Dark Castle. Alas, this is still not the end of Natali’s ten-year journey with the film.
The director tells Fangoria he’s heading back to the editing room.
“You’re going to see a slightly nipped-and-tucked version,” he says. “I’m actually going into the editing room next week, and if theyâre true to their word, it’s just going to be cosmetic. It really comes down to Joel. He loves the movie and actually enjoys the parts that would scare most producers away. He’s being very courageous releasing this. There are also a few things I’m changing after seeing the film with an audience. I believe what will come out of it will be a new and improved cut, but in essence, it’ll be the same film.”
