Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.In this trailer recently released for Splice, a sci-fi film that won rave reviews at the Sundance Film Festival, two scientists defy legal and ethical boundaries with a dangerous experiment: splicing together human and animal DNA to create a new organism.
The footage reveals the disturbing results as the miraculous mistake develops faster than expected, turning from a deformed child-like being to a beautiful and deadly chimera-like creature.
The film stars Adrien Brody ( Cadillac Records, the upcoming Predators), and Sarah Polley ( Dawn of the Dead) as the fame-seeking DNA-splicing scientists, and Delphine Chaneac as the creature. The story dramatically addresses ethical issues involving genetics and cloning, offering more than sci-fi horror. Plus a controversial ending and sexual scene has created a buzz.
Director Vincenzo Natali ( Cube, Paris je t'aime) is considering a number of new projects, including an adaptation of the kid's fantasy adventure Tunnels, the J.G. Ballard novel High Rise and the DC Comic's Swamp Thing.
Splice is scheduled for release in the US June 4.
