The Thing 1951
The first time I saw the Howard Hawks visionary
film I was blown away. He set the tone for smart
horror based on science that films to this day
emulate. There are elements in this movie that
noticeably inspired directors from James Cameron
to Spielburg and everyone in between.
The Thing 1982
John Carpenter masterfully retold the story
bringing it into the modern world and set a
new standard in the process with it's moody
score and cinematography.
That film provided a glimpse of a Norwegen
research station whose inhabitants perished
on the threshhold of a new discovery.
The Thing 2011
The Prequel introduces us to the ill-fated
Norwegens on the eve of their discovery as
they stumble into something they could never
have expected...
Behold the teaser trailer (before it's pulled by the studio)!
I for one can't wait to see this movie!
