Adrien Brody in Splice
Posted by Matt Holmes
Bloody Disgusting report that Oscar winning actor Adrien Brody will star in the Guillermo del Toro produced sci-fi/horror movie Splice which is set for a 2009 release from Cube and Cypher director Vincenzo Natali.
The news has apparently come out of the Toronto International Film Festival.
Now I’ve never seen Cube or Cypher so I can’t say I’m all that familiar with Natali, so I think I better skip straight to the Splice’s plot…
The film is about 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.
Don’t these people never learn?
If you are in a movie then the last thing you want to be doing is working on a dangerous experiment. Only bad things like this can come of it!
I like Adrien Brody and I’ve actually thought for a while that he would be great in a Cronenberg psychological horror/thriller which hopefully might happen somewhere down the line. It’s not really a genre he has been that immersed in, with only The Jacket on his CV that you could say was a true horror flick.

You gotta see cube. Things are lookin up for this flick
I agree Matt. Adrien Brody is immensely likeable and an excellent actor. This sounds like a really good role for him and is an intriguing premise for sure.
