Complications arise when the creature, named Dren, rapidly-ages into young adulthood, growing into an irresistible alien beauty. Though reluctant during each illegal step, and anxious to destroy the creature once it gets out of hand, he’s ultimately unable to deny Elsa, and his own scientific curiosity of seeing the experiment all the way through. In fact, he’s so intoxicated by her infectious determination that he goes against his better judgment, and with Elsa, designs a human/animal hybrid. Elsa’s nowhere near ready for that, and though he’s disappointed, he tends to follow her lead. His relationship with Elsa is hot and heavy, but he’d like more specifically, a family. He is extremely intelligent, and though a nerd in college, is now effortlessly cool and represents all that is geek chic about bio-engineering and the next frontier of cloning research. Forced to hide Dren in a remote farmhouse, soon both Elsa and Clive’s lives are in danger from the creature they’ve created.Ĭlive Nicoli: Late 20s-30s. Elsa’s intentions may have originated in a pure place (she wanted to discover the cure for genetic diseases), but they are replaced with the motives of a protective mother. This proves a huge problem when the rapidly-aging lifeform, named Dren, grows deadly. Once the creature is born, however, Elsa is surprised to find herself developing maternal feelings for it. Despite her company’s adamant refusals to allow human cloning, she is determined to create a human/animal hybrid. Elsa sees nothing wrong with chimeras and considers them a signpost of the future a glimpse into possible evolution. She and her boyfriend, Clive, are bio-engineers who have put emotional commitments (like having a child) on the backburner while they pursue their cuting-edge work: creating and raising animal hybrids to great scientific acclaim. She’s a scientist with a wild streak and a self-assured confidence that comes from being the smartest woman in the room. Sifting through this casting site we learned said creature is called “Dren” which “develops from a deformed female infant into a beautiful but dangerous winged human-chimera.”įurthermore, there’s a breakdown of the two leads.Įlsa Kast: Late 20s-30s, extremely intelligent, attractive. If you recall, we spoke exclusive to the director here about his exploration into deviant genetic, and apparently sexual, experimentation – the story of two scientists who blend human and animal DNA to create an entirely new species. Shock has stumbled upon a wealth of info that peels back the flesh to give us further insight as to what Vincenzo Natali’s upcoming creature feature, Splice, is about.
