Prequel to 'The Thing'

[Carnotaur3]

I myself wouldn't call The Thing a brand like Indiana Jones. Indiana Jones has a lot bigger audience then The Thing. Perhaps it's because Indiana Jones is more watchable for the whole family while The Thing is not for the whole family. Indiana Jones has 4 movies, several young Indiana Jones movies/tv series, etc etc. while The Thing has 1 movie, a computer game and few comic books, nothing more. Indiana Jones is really a brand, just like Star Wars. I wouldn't say that about The Thing.

It's not a brand like them. But it's still a brand.

Ha. I was just coming to post this exact same thing. Like it would've been rated anything less. Hoping the trailer's right around the corner.

Seriously, where is the trailer?? Every time I see this thread updated, I get excited only to come in here and see a trailer-less wasteland.

While reading your post, the same thing happened to me. More than likely than this will happen to another guy as well. Eventually we'll all flip out and smash the radio and punch Windows in the face. Or accept disillusionment and drink scotch alone in a shack.

 

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

When I first heard about this I was so stoke, but hesitant. I just hope it's done well.

John Carpenter's The Thing, a perfect example of how a remake can be done extremely well.

One of the most underrated and best horror films of all time. imho

It's the Thing we're talking about. We've already seen it, we just didn't know it. The Thing trailer has been secretly inhabiting the Bad Teacher trailer, and when you least expect it, well then it starts getting messy ...

No, we haven't seen this...its a prequel...

Uhh...I think he was talking about the trailer? Or was he talking about the Thing in the trailer?

 

[PWN3R]

Oh sweet internet sarcasm. If only you were more understood.

I chuckled Pink Ranger. Heh.

 

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Ding!

What are you talking about? I was serious!

I say we lock the trailers for Bad Teacher, Crazy Stupid Love and Breaking Dawn into a room, and stick them with heated pins until the trailer for The Thing reveals itself!! Who's with me!!

This thread really needs to stop being bumped like this until the trailer comes out though....

 

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

Judging by these tweets by Walker & Winstead, 'The Thing' trailer is right around the corner!!

Walker's tweet:

I have a sneaking suspicion that...NOTHING is about to happen.

& Winstead....

Finally saw The Thing. I'm so happy. I can't wait for you guys to see it. Wish I could say more! But for now, Oct. 14th! Mark your calender!

 

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

I like how you're the one saying it needs to stop being bumped then you bump it. lol

 

[Crockett]

They should attach the trailer with Super 8.

Lol. I figured I'd be the one to do that eventually. My bad....

They should attach the trailer with Super 8.

That exact thought crossed my mind yesterday when I saw the Super 8 trailer again yesterday in the theater. Hope we're right in that aspect because if that happens, I'm soooooo going to see Super 8 opening day.

 

[Boom]

The trailer is still not out?

It'll be perfect since both movies have a mystery with a thing o). Though it's not likely, I hope that the trailer is longer than a minute.

It'll be worth the wait...hopefully.

It better be considering they've made us wait ages...

Edit: Supposed official site for the film is up at www.thethingmovie.net
Takes you directly to the Universal Pics homepage.

 

[Kane52630]

We'll im sure you guys have seen the leaked trailer earlier this year. I just hope that's what they used as the official trailer.

 

[signalman]

They should put a memorial tag for James Arness in the ending credits.

 

[Tissues]

I forgot to mention on here that I saw a trailer for this. It was a few months back. I was being asked about future movies and what I thought. It had unfinished effects, but it looked pretty good.
