AFM: Del Toro? Natali? Polley? Brody? Here Comes SPLICE.
Posted by Todd Brown at 7:58pm.
Posted in Film News , Horror, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, USA & Canada, AFM 2007.
How THE HELL did we miss this? Sure, it’s a fresh project and not due for release until 2009, but still ... It’s the new project from Cube helmer Vincenzo Natali, a local hero for us Toronto based Twitchers, with Guillermo Del Toro in the producer’s chair and Sarah Polley and Adrien Brody slated to star.
The story explores a dark vision of the world of genetic engineering in which two young scientists (Polley and Brody) become superstars by splicing different animal DNA to create fantastical new creatures. They ignore the legal and ethical boundaries and introduce human DNA into their experiment. The screenplay was written by Natali, Antoinette Terry Bryant and Doug Taylor.
Production begins in November and Dread Central have gotten their hands on pre-production artwork. Yum.

It’s not a fresh project, actually. Natali has been talking about SPLICE since waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in 1997/1998 when he was on the film festival circuit with CUBE. I never thought this could get made because it’s just soo strange and incredibly messed up. But since it’s finally getting made (and made as live action instead of animation as was rumored occasionally over the years) it’s definitely right at the top of my list of most eagerly anticipated movies. It’s also worth noting that Natali is attached to direct an adaptation of J.G. Ballard’s HIGH RISE once he’s finished with this.

Yeah how did you miss it? Ha kidding but I do remember reading about this on bloody-disgusting, I just don’t remember if it was called SPLICE

I was wondering what became of Natali after Nothing. Yay!
