Vincenzo Natali & Guillermo del Toro together for "Splice"

Sucker as I am for all things del Toro, this film intruiges me quite a bit. From Vincenzo Natali, writer and director of Cube and Nothing, Splice is a rather familiar tale of science creating a monster, but considering Natali's past acheivements and quite minimalist approach, this could be something quite different in execution. Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley are set to star, and David Hewlett has an unknown role. With Guillermo del Toro attatched to produce, it could mean a much wider audience for Natali's film.



The production still above looks supremely creepy. You can check out more pictures from the film courtesy of Ain't It Cool News here

Plot: 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.

Splice is set for release in 2009. Cant wait!
