A New Thing is Coming
Source: Variety
January 29, 2009
Variety has confirmed a Bloody-Disgusting scoop that said commercials director Matthijs van Heijningen will direct a prequel to John Carpenter's 1982 horror-thriller The Thing.
The studio has set "Battlestar Galactica" executive producer Ron Moore to write the script.
The new project borrows heavily from the John W. Campbell Jr. short story "Who Goes There," the basis of the Carpenter film and 1951 Howard Hawks original The Thing From Another World.
It is set in a Norwegian camp and chronicles how the alien was first discovered and overcame the inhabitants of that camp.
Strike Entertainment's Eric Newman and Marc Abraham are producing. David Foster will be executive producer.
There are people who think it isn't? I mean it's pretty obvious.
That was in the first half of the film, before the Thing is even unleashed - once it is - it turns into action movie rather than a horror movie in comparison to the original. The other clip is in the very last ten minutes.
Heard a random rumor that this was gonna be a surprise movie that was gonna play at Fantastic Feast but after Tim League saw it he said no cause of how bad it was.
Rumors are your enemy and google is your friend.
Interesting, does the fact he only thought about playing it mean it was just 'meh'...that's how I'm reading it.
Tim League is...?
CEO/Owner of the Alamo Drafthouse.
Very true. Is that what you did or did you know this before reading my post? I guess I should've done the same, I just heard it as an offhanded comment during a podcast so I didn't give much thought to it.
