Splice

Adrien Brody premieres his latest film, the sci-fi flick 'Splice', in Hollywood

Oscar winner Adrien Brody returns to the big screen in the latest sci-fi thriller 'Splice,'. The premiere was held on Wednesday June 2, 2010 at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles where he shared his thoughts with ET as to why he took the role.

"I'm trying to find opportunities that allow me to be playful with my work. I'm a fan of the genre," Brody says of working on 'Splice.' "It's one of the most unusual scripts that I've read," Brody tells ET. "It's a fun experience. It's not just about having a film scare you, but being transported to a surreal world."

The film co-stars Delphine Chaneac and David Hewlett who were also present on the Red Carpet as well as producers Joel Silver and Guillermo Del Toro. Celebrity guests included Robert Downey Jr., Tony Hawk, Mark-Pail Gosselaar, Simon Rex and Kenny G among others.

The film centers on superstar genetic engineers Clive (Adrien Brody) and Elsa (Sarah Polley) who specialize in splicing DNA from different animals to create incredible new hybrids. Now they want to use human DNA in a hybrid that could revolutionize science and medicine. But when the pharmaceutical company that funds their research forbids it, Clive and Elsa secretly take their boldest experimentation underground--risking their careers by pushing the boundaries of science to serve their own curiosity and ambition.

The result is Dren, an amazing, strangely beautiful creature of uncommon intelligence and an array of unexpected physical developments.

At first, Dren exceeds their wildest dreams. But as she grows and learns at an accelerated rate, her existence threatens to become their worst nightmare. 'Splice' is set to be released across the U.S. on June 4, 2010.
