After premiering at Sundance, Warner was so impressed with Splice they bought up the rights, gave the filmmaker (Cube’s Vincenzo Natali) a bit more cash to improve some of the effects and are planning a major release for the movie. If the trailers and clips are anything to go by, you can see why they got so excited. Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley star as scientists working hybrid animals, however when they secretly add human DNA into the mix they create something they may be the next step up the evolutionary ladder, or something that could destroy the whole of humanity.

Predators Featurette: Cuchillo – Meet Danny Trejo’s character
Another featurette introducing one of the characters from Predators has emerged, this one featuring Danny Trejo’s Cuchillo. Trejo is a fascinating guy, as while many actors get typecast as tough guys villains because of their looks, Trejo has the experience to back it up, having been locked up in San Quentin when he was younger for armed robbery and drug offences. He’s also had a long association with Robert Rodriguez (who produced Predators), having worked together on Machete, Planet Terror, From Dusk Till Dawn, and pretty much everything else the filmmaker has ever made. Predators sees the infamous dreadlocked aliens kidnapping a bunch of the most bad-ass humans they can find and dumping them on their planet, so they can be hunted.
