The Thing Prequel

[kryptosmaster]

They never really did explain where the Thing came from, did they?
I haven't seen either film in decades so I don't recall. I remember liking both versions and still need to eventually add them to my DVD collection.

maybe a part of it survived and went into hybernation again until someone else digs it out of the ice.
I always loved that movie. effects are a little dated now but it was a cool scary movie in it's time
I even have the game on PS which takes place after the movie

I hope they dont ruin the story line. Seems like hollywood is running out of ideas. How old is Kurt Russel now. I really enjoyed the original. If Im correct didnt all the monster get destroyed?

Maybe he's playing a different character.

Maybe it starts with him telling someone the story and flashes back to the prequel.

What are they going to do: that Russell met The Thing in his teen years already?
Like, they went to the same high school?
Confusing....

Still a terrific movie. The atmosphere is claustrophobic, it holds no punches.
No wonder it bombed, in the year of ET.

Just read in a Hollywood magazine they are in production for a Prequel to The Thing and Kurt Russell is going to be in it.
How can that be possible based on the story line of the John Carpenter version from '82.
Watched this movie not too long ago. Really great movie.
