The whole time the couple has been experimenting with Dren, forgetting about Fred and Ginger. Clive ends up trying to kill Dren by drowning her, instead Dren started to use it's gills and rest inside of the water. But Dren starts having a fever, and the couple put her in cold water. The hybrid ended up spelling NERD (alluded to "N.E.R.D."/"Nucleic Exchange Research and Development", name of the Kast couple's small company owned by Newstead) with toys, Elsa ended up calling the hybrid "Dren".Ĭlive's brother ends up seeing Dren but Dren ends up jumping on him. The hybrid also ages much faster but mentally it's developed like a child. Clive wanted to kill the creature, but Elsa managed to force Clive in letting the creature live. The couple however keeps working on making the hybrid, and they end up making a female creature.
Their employers Joan Chorot and William "Bill" Barlow at the top pharmaceuticals corporation Newstead Pharma (also known as "Newstead Pharmaceuticals") disagree with their idea, and tell them to keep focusing on Fred and Ginger. After they managed to make them mate, the couple moved onto creating a revolutionary hybrid. The two made two big-fat creatures known as Fred and Ginger, which started to mate with each other. As revealed by the director himself, Dren’s convincing human-hybrid appearance had a lot to do with makeup effects, prosthetics, and only a little bit of digital effects because of financial constraints.Two generic engineers, which are a couple Clive Nicoli and Elsa Kast have a goal of making human-animal hybrids in order to use them in medicine. Everything from her three-fingered hands to her strange legs was created using the limited resources that the filmmakers had. Splice is great! One year I did a Halloween Ghost Walk at Black Creek Pioneer Village and it was super fun when the guide pointed out some of the filming locations (mainly the barn).Īnother interesting bit about the movie’s filming is that although CGI was used for enhancing Dren’s appearance on screen, several other techniques were involved to ensure that aspects of her appearance seemed authentic. A twitter user even confirmed this by claiming that she once did a Halloween Ghost Walk in the village where a guide pointed out the barn depicted in the movie.

While some of these lab scenes were shot in Cinespace Film Studios, Toronto, many of them were filmed in York University, North York. In the second half of the movie, the two main characters move their human-animal hybrid creation to a countryside barn where they believe no would be able to find her.Īll the scenes in the movie that feature this barn and the locations surrounding it were filmed at an actual barn in Black Creek Pioneer Village, North York. Since ‘Splice’ is a sci-fi horror film and most of its events revolve around the peculiar experiments that two scientists carry out, many of its scenes have the backdrop of a laboratory loaded with all kinds of scientific equipment.
Although Toronto was its primary filming location, a few scenes were also filmed in Hamilton, Ontario. Soon after this, in October 2007, Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley were cast as the film’s leads and its filming was initiated in November 2007 in Toronto, Ontario, Cannada. In 2007, ‘Splice’ was funded $2.5 million by Telefilm Canada.
So if you’re wondering where these two, and all the other places featured in the film, are located, read on further. In all of its enthralling sci-fi drama and scientific jargon, the film also walks you through two primary locations, out of which, one is a lab where they carry out their experiments while the other is a dark countryside barn where most of the film’s bleak action ensues. From the movie’s premise itself, one can guess that the experiment turns out to be the perfect recipe for disaster.
