Sarah Polley: The Black Sheep

In the strangely sexy thriller Splice, Sarah Polley plays Elsa, a brilliant scientist whose intelligence is matched only by her ambition. Together, these attributes lead her to defy her partner and lover, Clive (played by Adrien Brody), by secretly adding her own DNA to the human-animal embryo they were developing together. The result is a bizarrely beautiful creature named Dren, who quickly blossoms from scientific curiosity into a humanoid monster with thoughts—and a libido—of her own. It’s a case of science run amok, a cautionary tale that, from Polley’s perspective, does not ring true in today’s world. “I have quite a bit of faith in the scientific community,” says the 31-year-old Canadian actress and filmmaker. “They are pushing boundaries and experimenting with things that could lead to disastrous consequences. But I do believe that most scientists are people who have invested that time and energy for the good of humanity, and not for their own personal gain.”
