I’ll say it right now- I am not a huge fan of documentaries. I think that they typically find the worst in human experience and really leverage it and make it a spectacle. Take, for example, the upcoming movie Splice. These two scientists Clive and Elsa, first of all who are in love (inter-office romances are always messy), have decided that genetically engineering a creature in the name of “science” is a good idea. We all know how this story ends. There were other documentaries like Gattaca and The Island of Dr. Moreau. (SPOILERRR WARRNNINNGGGG!!!) In Gattaca, the world has become overrun by genetic paranoia, and on The Island of Dr. Moreau, cross-bred creatures walk and talk like humans until they fall apart into total chaos.
Anyway, the MTV folks are doing a cross-promo for the doc. For one of them, they actually got the creature to show up to film with the people from The City. I don’t want to spoil the movie for anyone, but that creature is going to quite a disaster. Keep an eye out on your local news.
Keep a look out on MTV for the sneak-preview interruptions that we edited, animated, and created CGI for, and on June 4th, go watch the movie. It’s gonna be awesome.
