There already exist two perfectly good versions. Yet more proof of Hollywood's intellectual vacuum. nt

It is a prequel to John Carpenter's The Thing. It is not a remake of anything.
- What will the prequel be about, the exciting journey of the spaceship up until impact? nt - tinear 07:55:52 10/11/11 (3)

  - Did you see John Carpenter's The Thing? - Analog Scott 23:29:31 10/11/11 (2)
    If you did the answer should be pretty obvious. If not, really not much to talk about
    - Yup, but it's been awhile. I suppose it's going to be about SPOILER - tinear 08:01:46 10/12/11 (1)
      how the creature wiped out the first guys at the outpost. Basically, a repeat, a set piece. Stock characters, separate during crisis, get attacked one by one, etc. Not much leeway possible. One good thing: it's made me put both earlier ones into my Netflix list.
      Again, the lack of imagination is stunning. Perhaps "Oliver Twist" the prequel would be better?

        Ah, so you do remember there was something that happened between the ship crashing and the begining of the 1982 movie.

        So you have read the script?

        Whose lack of imagination? You are the one claiming not much leeway possible. You don't really know though do you? You *may* be right but you *may* be wrong.
        
        I like to form my opinions on movies AFTER I see them not before.

  Carpenter's was too Gross Out for me.
