Splice (2010) Why, I’ll Take Two Thank You Very Much

It appears that 2010 is going to be a busy year for Adrien Brody. This summer will see the release of Robert Rodriguez’s ‘Predators’. Please, please, please let it not suck. The only good thing that I ever saw a Predator in after Predator 2 was that Bring Me The Horizon video.

To keep us going until the July release of Predators, Brody will also be appearing in the intriguing looking ‘Splice’. This peculiar looking little movie caused a massive bidding war at the Sundance Film Festival this year, with Warner Brothers eventually picking it up. Hardly an indie, it’s from the makers of ‘Cube’, but it does have great potential, especially if the trailers are anything to go by.

In a genetically modified nutshell, they’re trying to create some kind of human-y – creature-y hybrid, probably with the sole intention of having sex with it (well, a: it’s not a male creature and b: isn’t that why man creates everything? – With the possible exception of the electric pencil sharpener and combine harvesters, although I’ve seen certain websites…). I particularly like the stilletto hands and her pointy tail. It could either be a marvellous social commentary on cloning and the inherent perils that arise from dicking around with mans genetic makeup, or it could be an updated version of ‘Species’.

Is it terribly wrong that I’m happy with either of these outcomes?

‘Splice’ is out in about two weeks and we can all see it and decide from ourselves as we bring ourselves 90 minutes closer to the grave whilst watching it.

Here’s the trailer:

Which for some reason, totally reminded me of this old Playstation 2 Advert by Chris Cunningham.

Oh and here’s that BMTH video, which I love. Especially the bit on the bus, poor Predator.
