David Hewlett's "Splice" Opens Tonight (June 4)

Stargate star David Hewlett can be seen in movie theaters across the US when his film Splice opens tonight! Hewlett attended the red carpet premiere at Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood, California, on Wednesday, June 2, and posed for several photos, some of which can be seen at Zimbio.com.

Embedded below is the intense trailer in which Hewlett can be seen in his role as William Barlow, a representative of the pharmaceutical company who is in direct contact with the creators of the new lifeform Dren, the result of splicing human DNA into a hybrid animal. In his review of the film, Fangoria’s Michael Gingold observed that Hewlett’s role “seems styled to resemble John Getz’s Stathis Borans from Cronenberg’s THE FLY.” Borans survived at the end of that movie (and into its sequel THE FLY II), so here’s hoping Hewlett’s Barlow does the same!
