The Thing Prequel (pics and video)
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. http://www.spannow.com/boards/thing_001a.jpg http://www.spannow.com/boards/thing_001b.jpg 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. http://www.spannow.com/boards/thing_002a.jpg http://www.spannow.com/boards/thing_002b.jpg 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... http://www.spannow.com/boards/thing_003a.jpg http://www.spannow.com/boards/thing_003b.jpg http://www.spannow.com/boards/thing_003c.jpg http://www.spannow.com/boards/thing_003d.jpg http://www.spannow.com/boards/thing_003e.jpg Behold the teaser trailer (before it's pulled by the studio)! I for one can't wait to see this movie! |

|

|
The thing was one of the best movies of it's time IMO.
Can't wait. |

I'm skeptical. Going to have to be alot better than the trailer to keep up with original or Carpenter's masterpiece.
|
Links pulled ...
|
Further proof that Hollywood is out of original ideas.

Looks pretty cool. Will have to check this out
|
how is this a prequel and not simply another remake
|
why ruin another classic.

and although the characters briefly explore the ruins not much is discovered about what actually happened there. This new film is all about those foreign researchers and how they first discover everything and ultimately lose control of it. = prequel |
Doesn't look very good honestly. Carpenter's version was a masterpiece. As soon as I seen that CGI creature I cringed. The real makeup effects were one of the best parts of the 1982 version, along with the awesome soundtrack and Kurt Russell in his prime.
edit: just noticed they are using scenes from the video game Dead Space or something like that around 1:44 in. Hopefully the real version has better effects. |
What the fuck is up with Hollywood, no one has an original idea anymore. First it was "True Grit" then "The Mechanic" now "The Thing" all fucking re-models
We need more original films like Alien, Predator, Salt, Wanted, etc etc. |
