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!

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.

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.

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"
