Vincenzo Natali, the horror auteur behind the cult hit Cube and the less popular but equally interesting Cypher, is gaining some underground word-of-mouth hype for his new horror sci-fi hybrid Splice, which was an audience favorite at this year’s Sundance. The film is scheduled to be released this summer for your genetic-splicing pleasure.
Vincenzo Natali’s film Splice, which was a hit at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, will be coming to a theater near you this Summer. Joel Silver’s Dark House Entertainment and Warner Bros will be releasing this odd “gene-warping creature feature” on June 4th 2010. Dark Castle are in the end stages of a deal to give Splice a 3000-screen summer release, with a P&A (print and advertising) commitment of at least $25m and perhaps as high as $40m. [/Film]
The film does indeed sound like an original spin on the horror sci-fi genre and if the comparisons to Scanners and early reviews from Sundance haven’t whet your appetite, check out this scene from the film. Freaky!
