Thankfully, we had a lot of great creature designers, especially Amro Attia.

He admits that Dren (nerd spelled backwards) is the reason it took so long to make Splice: "Dren is complex and evolves very quickly from a little, hairless, bird-like, lizard creature to a very attractive, young female in almost no time. Digital), was on the project from the very beginning. Longtime Natali collaborator, Bob Munroe, the visual effects supervisor (formerly with the now defunct C.O.R.E. It's director Vincenzo Natali's Frankenstein, which took him a decade to make. In Splice, two scientists (Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley) cross the ethical cloning line with terrifying results by combining human and animal DNA.

Because sometimes, your trip ends before the in-flight movie does, and you really don’t want to ask the pilot to circle the airport just so you can catch the finale.Check out the Splice trailer and clips at AWNtv!.Because sometimes, you fall asleep watching a mediocre rental, and would rather return it on time than pay two more bucks just to see the end.Because sometimes, your TiVo timer didn’t get it quite right, and cut off the crucial final minutes of something that won’t get shown again for six months.Because sometimes, you’re not interested in seeing that movie everyone’s talking about but are dying to know what the hubbub is about anyway.Because sometimes, you vaguely remember an old movie that had some sort of plot twist at the end of it, but can’t remember what it was.Because sometimes, the surprise “spoiler” ending is the only reason you’d pay $11 to see what is otherwise a turkey of a film.Elsa stands up to reveal that she is pregnant, but it is unknown whether the child’s father is Dren or Clive, and it is also unclear whether the check was to purchase her child or to rehire her to continue her splicing experiments. At the end, Elsa is meeting the CEO the pharmaceutical company and is given a multi-million dollar check. Elsa then manages to kill the injured Dren by crushing his head with a rock. Clive having recovered, stabs Dren through the chest mid-coitus, but Dren turns around and kills Clive with his poisonous stinger. Dren, now male, digs himself out of the grave and quickly kills William and Gavin, and knocks out Clive. At this point William, and Clive’s brother/scientist Gavin (Brandon McGibbon) have discovered the Dren experiment and show up at the farm demanding they hand Dren over.Īlas, Dren is not really dead, but like Ginger, has turned into a violent male creature.

They decide that they have lost control of the Dren “experiment” and decide to kill her, but Dren is seemingly dead when they arrive to end her life, and they bury her. Meanwhile, Clive discovers that Elsa spliced her own DNA to create Dren, becomes attracted to Clive, and eventually Elsa catches he and Dren having sex. As Dren becomes more intelligent and unruly, Elsa cuts off Dren’s stinger (which grows back) and uses it to derive the protein for the corporation. Dren continues to grow old at an inhuman pace and soon discovers she can sprout wings.

Needing to keep Dren a secret, the scientists move her to an old secluded farmhouse. The lab is placed under new management with William (David Hewlett) at the helm. Dren is a female, born with a poisonous stinger and the ability to breathe underwater.Īfter a disastrous public unveiling of Fred and Ginger, where it is discovered that Ginger has turned into a male, the two animals kill each other, humiliating the corporation. Angered at their new orders, Clive and Elsa, without authorization, divert some of the resources to splice together human and animal DNA, just to see if they can, only to have the new human/animal hybrid Dren (Delphine Chaneac) be born months ahead of schedule. Their corporate bosses demand the two devote their resources to drawing forth a lucrative protein from Fred and Ginger which will be used for great profit in the livestock industry. They have combined various animal DNA (spliced it) to create a brand new species, one male and one female (Fred and Ginger respectively). Clive (Adrien Brody) and Elsa (Sara Polley) are biochemists/geneticists who work for a cutting edge pharmaceutical company and are also a dating couple who are trying to have a child.
