Loved both: the old black and white one and the Carpenter's one. Looking forward to the new Thing...

We should pool our collective minds together and make a movie titled: Prequel

And then see Hollywood make a prequel of a Prequel

Hmmm, I loved the John Carpenter one and this one seems to have the same atmosphere so I'm actually interested to see this one. I just hope they don't don't make the alien using 3d computers, some old school special effects would serve this movie well.

P.S. A reboot prequel has actually caught my interest, don't let me down! (They probably will.)

Well lets slow down a minute folks.

its not like its Alien or Robocop or something they have made 25 versions of.

The really scary film version of "the thing" as the one made in 82

since then i would wager that we have an entire generation of people who are more or less unfamiliar with one of the greatest Sci Fi films in history. (My humble opinion)

personally i think the film trailer looked good, at least it didnt have a 40 foot tall transforming robot

Go to your local library, or order online. Who Goes There? , 1938 short story by John W. Campbell. The very original that the movies are all based on. Wonderful story.

I may watch it when it comes on DvD, but I don't have high expectations.

Good thing I have the restored version of the original to fall back on.

Awesome movie!
