“The Thing” prequel (Not zombie related news, but still awesome)
Feb15
The prequel film for John Carpenter’s “The Thing” starts filming next month with newcomer actors Joel Edgerton and Elizabeth Winstead. I am a massive fan of “The Thing”, but without Kurt Russel… can this new movie really be as good as the original. I’m not so sure. (I love you, Kurt…. call me)
Alsom I hate prequels. Never-the-less I am modestly optimistic about this. This movie will show us what happened to the poor Norwegian research team in Antarctica after they discovered the ship buried in the ice (Spoilers: Everyone dies!).
Sadly since it’s a prequel I know how it turns out… that kinda sucks. Why couldn’t they make a sequel instead.
Oh well, beggers can’t be choosers. As long as an alien kills a bunch of stupid humans I’ll be happy… I hate you humans soooo much!!!
Actually, there is a sequel. It’s the video game for ps2.

There’s also a comic published by “Dark Horse” but I don’t think you can call any of that canon for “The Thing.” More of a profit thing really. I’d still like to see a movie starting about five minutes after the first one ended.
