Not really sure they can do much to add more to Carpenter's version of The Thing. As of right now it's just a screenplay, with no attached director/production company. But from the short snippets of an exerpt, it sounds too much like The Thing, but ends where the '82 movie starts.

Thoughts?

Hmm. Not enough info to have any idea really.

I don't really care.

Just popped in and havent read the article yet, but i assume its the events at the norwegian camp?

I don't really care about what Ben Grimm did before he became the Thing, he's much cooler now.

Meh. Probably gonna be a flop tbh.

I actually haven't seen all of The Thing so I don't know if I can make fair judgment, but most prequels suck so I doubt this will be anything different.

I really like John Carpenter's take on "The Thing".

A prequel saddens me. The film is perfect by itself. One of my favourite horror films.

won't be worth it without K.Russ

this is my favorite movie... i can't imagine this being good but honestly i'm surprised it hasn't been done yet.
