Elsa and Clive (Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley), two young rebellious scientists, defy legal and ethical boundaries and forge ahead with a perilous experiment: splicing together human and animal DNA to make a new organism. Named Dren, the creature rapidly develops from a deformed female infant into a gorgeous but perilous winged human-chimera, who forges a bond with both of her creators – only to have that bond turn deadly.
Hard to believe that this small monstrous thing could develop in anything gorgeous later on. But I can really imagine it becoming some perilous predator. I am no Luddite, and I do want scientists to be allowed to pursue R&D in genetic engineering (from stem cells to splicing or whatever may help to increase our knowledge). But on can’t deny that there is need for regulation: don’t want perilous chimera to feed on you or don’t want any new vicious GM virus to infect you, do you? It’s even more compelling to implement a strong regulation and to get ethical awareness in the population because tabletop genetic engineering is for tomorrow

This Book of Eli trailer makes me want to go play to Fallout the post-nuclear role playing game! Hell the Book of Eli really feels like the game Fallout, with maybe a touch of Blade because of Denzel Washington using a samurai sword! The whole things is a damn explosive combination that for sure will catch the attention! Sign me on for the Book of Eli movie!

A reinvention loosely based upon the George Romero classic of the same name, The Crazies is about the inhabitants of a small Iowa town suddenly plagued by insanity and then death after a mysterious toxin contaminates their water supply.
I haven’t seen the original movie. But Breck Eisner’s The Crazies looks quite excellent. And the song Mad World (by Gary Jules) at the end of the trailer of the Crazies was well chosen!
