Along with his partner Elsa, Clive mixes the DNA of a humans and animals just to see what happens. A deformed infant is born but soon grows in a beautiful winged chimera and a bond is formed between her creators. But, since this is a monster we’re talking about, things eventually turn ugly.
As was not pointed out the last time we reported on this (“Natali’s Splice Details” – May 2007), Guillermo del Toro will be producing the film for Natali, which was originally supposed to roll in August but obviously had a bit of setback.
