As I said when I first interviewed director Vincenzo Natali at this year's WonderCon, one of the best films I saw at this year’s Sundance Film festival was Splice. Starring Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley as genetic scientists that create a new life form with severe consequences, the film is original, dark, twisted, and awesome.  If you’re the kind of person that complains Hollywood never does anything original, you’re going to want to check out Splice this weekend.  Here are some clips.

Anyhow, with the movie set for release tomorrow, I recently sat down one more time with this talented director to talk about his film.  During our extended interview we talked about the challenges of getting Splice made, what will be on the DVD/Blu-ray, what's up with High Rise, Tunnels and Neuromancer, and a lot more.  Hit the jump to check it out.
