Does anyone else here see the similarities between Dead Space and The Thing?
 
The Thing is an alien that, in it's "somewhat real" form, looks basically like a necromorph from Hell.
 
When is this film coming out again? I remember hearing it was pushed back.

It was supposed to come out this April, but got pushed back due to reshoots and Fast Five took it's place instead. So now, it'll be coming out in October.
 
Wow, it really got bumped. I'll take that over a rushed movie, though.
 
New still! :awesome:

Anyone watch the leaked trailer? that was pretty cool.
 
Supposedly it's attached to tomorrow's release of Paul but there's been no confirmation on that. I hope it's true though. Would be nice.

Woah! I had no idea this film was even close enough to getting a trailer!
 
I only saw "The Thing" for the first time last weekend and I loved it, I heard this one will be dealing with the Norwegian crew but I don't know how official any of that is. I'm interested in seeing more but I hope they still keep it mysterious and don't just throw away the mystery or its secrets for a cheap movie just to make a quick buck on something that has such a following.
 
Yeah, it's taking place before Carpenter's The Thing and focused on the Norwegian crew when they discovered the alien, so you will know what happens in the Norwegian camp. I just wish it was called something besides The Thing too, but here's hoping it will work as a companion piece to Carpenter's film.
 
It'd be good if they could give it a subtitle to distinquish it from the 1982 movie. Maybe The Thing: Origin would be a good one.
