breathe was a modern-day Frankenstein
tale spice explores the implications of
genetic engineering hi I’m Maya fear and
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
talking to the director of the film
vincenzo natali so describe to us the
premise of spice sure splice is about
two young brilliant geneticist played by
adrien brody and sarah polley and they
become famous because they spliced DNA
from different species to create new
life-forms they work for a big
pharmaceutical company but what they
really want to do is they had human DNA
to their experiment and when their
corporate handlers say no they do it in
secret and then terrible terrible things
happen and how difficult was it to cast
the character of dren you know was
surprisingly easy we had a casting call
in Paris and the very first person who
walked through the door was Delphine
Shen yak and when I saw her I instantly
knew she was dren she has an amazing
quality she’s very beautiful but in a
unusual way and she can be at once a
childlike and at the same time very
scary genetic engineering is quite a
difficult subject matter so did you
consult with scientists to make it more
realistic idea you did so how realistic
is the film would you say more realistic
than then I would want it to be actually
because I wrote the script in
consultation with real geneticists and
made the film in consultation with real
geneticists in every step of the way I
would ask them is this possible and the
most shocking thing about it was
invariably they would say yes
so what were some of the technical
milestones and making spice generally in
creature movies the creature is lurking
in the shadows that’s a cheaper easier
route to go but in our movie the
creature is just like any other
character in the film and therefore
receives a lot of scrutiny I mean you
see everything and on a smaller scale
tome or even on a larger scale film
that’s a very difficult thing to do you
call this film a creature film for
adults so how would you say that spice
differs from other films in this genre
it hopefully gives you everything that
you would want in a preacher Phil meant
more but at the same time it’s really
delves into the emotional side of the
equation and and I think that’s where it
kind of L elevates itself from other
films of similar ilk how did Joel Silver
get involved in the spice it was just
dumb luck Joel Silver saw a photograph
of the film online while movie was at
Sundance and he thought it looked
intriguing and one is one of his
executive saw it there and liked it and
eventually Joel saw it and said I wanted
but Joel Silver he’s a very well-known
producer he did the matrix movies and
the die hard films and the lethal weapon
movies in his entire career he has never
acquired a film before so this is the
very first time and and we’re therefore
incredibly lucky I mean it it doesn’t
happen this way normally it shouldn’t
happen this way but but it is and it’s
wonderful because this film is getting a
major release in the middle of the
summer I me if you told me this was
happening six months ago I wouldn’t
believe to you it would have seemed
impossible nice to meet you a pleasure
thank you
