First Set Pictures From The Thing Prequel

In the better to have not made it then to screw it up category, we continue our ongoing coverage of “The Thing” prequel with some icey Norwegian Antarctic base pictures. Not much to elaborate on besides the fact that, as a Canadian and an expert on cold, it looks legit.

“The Thing” stars Joel Edgerton, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and is being directed by Matthijs van Heijningen with a cast of a thousand awesome Norwegians. Of course the original, starring Kurt Russell and directed by John Carpenter, is a gigantic Sci-Fi/Horror classic. The pic looks like what the original Norwegian base looked like. First in the bunch is the new pic, followed by the original Things camp pics. All via the kindly gnomes at Slashfilm.

    Fuck Yeah! The Thing w/ Kurt Russell is the most classic sci-fi/horror ever. No other movies gives you the sort of feeling it did. nnKick some ass prequel

    Please don’t mess this up. I want this to be the classic it deserves to be. One chance only. Bugger it up and it goes on dvd for 3.99 (and that’s being kind) :(

    I’m so hoping they don’t screw this up and turn it into another one of those Friday the 13th teenage crap slashers. The original was a classic yes for certain and hopefully the newest version will live up to the hype and not be another disappointment that goes straight to DVD cause it sucks to make a quick buck nonsense! Keep it scary, keep it real, keep it mature and for God sakes don’t turn it into a Disney flick!

    Just saw it! I think it was good! Most def a prequel! I would love to see the original,original 1951 version of “The Thing” from another world. Still love the one Kurt Russel did! Can’t top it! And they didn’t! They did a prequel!
