    The second clip just got me excited for Guillermo del Torro's Frankenstein movie.

    At the end of that clip where she takes off her gloves and whispers "I'm not gonna hurt you." I just imagine all this blood splattering on the walls as she's dismembered.

    *SPOILER ALERT*

    The creature wasn't created in a lab. It is simply a sloth which is hairless due to Adrian Brody testing a new hair removal product at the Nair R&D labs. At the end of the movie the sloth escapes and is beaten to death by a group of kids then thrown into a river.

    @Makidian: we've seen pictures of the "adult" version of Dren: as she matures she gets increasingly more human; her adult form is basically...a human with digitigrade legs that end in chicken-feet, and her face is...slightly wider than a normal human's, I think they digitally move the actresses' eyes just slightly wider set than normal; its subtle enough that a normal human COULD conceivably have this face; she maintains a ridgeline down the middle of her head; also she stays bald. But she looks basically like a human when she matures; the odd-mouth shape in this one appears to be like a live "ontogeny recapitulating phylogeny" thing;

    ***the big thing is that Dren has wings, but they're fully retractable; they're like bat-wings in that they're bone spurs with membranes of skin between them, but they fold flush against her arms so you don't notice them when they're not in use.

    @Makidian: I feel your pain. I'm in the same situation myself. If I want to see something good I have to pay at least twice the amount to get to where it's playing.

    @CodenameV: not chicken feet...more like hands
    we didn't remove her eyes - just used a 2D/3D trick
    more crazy stuff in the final film :)

    Yeah, me and my wife were kicking around the lab one day and she said, "hey sweetie, wouldn't it be great if we made a baby with an ass on its face?" And I said, "Yeah! but let's make it part chicken, part Sumatran rat-monkey as well." That night we wrote up a grant and the rest was history. We even sold the rights to our story to Hollywood, which they're going to turn into a movie, and then a sitcom spin-off called "You, Me, And Ass-Faced Baby Make Three"

    @wanion: Doesn't it look like the before pictures that the cleft palate folks put out, to encourage you to give the money they'll use to fix kids faces?
