Production

"Splice" was written by director Vincenzo Natali and screenwriters Doug Taylor and Antoinette Terry Bryant.cite news | author=Borys Kit | url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3i45d15bffe64a1be87201ecc8469723cd | title=A creature feature for Polley, Brody | publisher=The Hollywood Reporter | date=2007-10-04 | accessdate=2008-01-08 ] The script was originally meant to follow up Natali's "Cube" (1997), but the budget and restricted technology hindered the project. In 2007, the project entered active development as a 75% Canadian and 25% French co-production, receiving a budget of $26 million.cite news | author=Marise Strauss | url=http://www.playbackonline.ca/articles/daily/20071005/splice.html | title=Natali taps Polley, Brody for Splice | publisher=Playback | date=2007-10-05 | accessdate=2008-01-08 ] The director described the film: "Splice" is very much about our genetic future and the way science is catching up with much of the fiction out there. " [This] is a serious film and an emotional one. And there's sex... Very unconventional sex. The centerpiece of the movie is a creature which goes through a dramatic evolutionary process. The goal is to create something shocking but also very subtle and completely believable."
