Carpenters The Thing is my favorite movie of all time, I just hope this prequel does it justice, though I doubt it.

Good find! Looks like it might work, lets hope.

Fixed.

Hardly fixed. The remake was ok from a special effects standpoint, but the 1951 version is still my favourite.

Really? I had no clue. My mistake, and my apologies. I actually prefer the Carpenter version, mainly because it's much more faithful to the story.

But that's what I get for assuming. :sunny:

John Carpenters the thing is still a good movie, good ol Kurt. A per thing movie has gotta make money, right. But no prequel will ever, for any reason that man can come up with, beat "Tremors the legend begins" :haha:

Remake of the Classic John Carpenter film which was a re-make itself of the 1950's BW film "The thing from another world". Good to see Hollywood still feeding on itself.

Looks like they're keeping the soundtrack of the JC film though, which was as cool and atmospheric as the film itself. Nice :DL
