The Thing Coming April 2011


Universal Pictures has set the date for their Thing prequel/prelude for April 29th 2011. People might be sighing over this prequel but John Carpenter himself remade the film. He even used the same introduction title that was used in the original. While the new film is still currently in production I assume the reason for the quick turnaround time would be the fact they're trying to recreate the on screen practical effects. The effects were cutting edge for the 1982 film and still has the same terrifying impact toady. It's being carefully made to be set in the same world as the Carpenter film so fans should be excited for this. The film will focus on the Norwegian camp that discovers the spacecraft frozen in ice and was teased in the Carpenter movie. It will star Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Scott Pilgrim), Joel Edgerton (Animal Kingdom) and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Oz, Lost, Bourne Identity).
