The Thing 2011 v. Official Trailer

[Osiris]

Anyone else excited? I admit I was on the fence about this for quite some time - being a big fan of the original and all. I hate to backpedal now but... damn. Looks pretty good.

Looks interesting but I didn't know it was a prequel to the John Carpenters version. It almost looks exactly the same movie minus the women. I guess it's the station where they found "The Thing"

[Osiris]

Premake? Yes it certianly looks close to the original. Then again, it may be told from the perspective of the Norwegians?

Not exactly a remake. It's taking the Norwegian perspective three days before the American outpost found the dog, at least according to that bastian of knowledge and facts: Wikipedia

[smalls kenobi]

i don't think it's a prequel why would they call it "The Thing" instead of something llike "The Thing: The Beginning" or something. this seems more like a "Re-imagining"

i love the original, but this looks neat.

[badhead]

i wonder if they remember to set it in 1982
