Has anyone heard of there being a "The Thing 2"......i heard there was but then i heard nothing else about it...it really like John Carpenter movies and i enjoyed The Thing..i hope there is a second one! big grin

... That movie is actually a remake of 1951's "The Thing From Another World" by Howard Hawks and that movie in turn is based on the 1943 short story "Who Goes There?" As for another remake or sequel, I don't know.

I heard from a friend that there was talk of another re-make, but I haven't seen any news of it myself.

The Thing is a class film in my book anyway. cool

ragesRemorse
no its a shapeshifting alien that infects your blood, i used to love john carpenter movies but his last couple have been pretty bad like his most recent vampires los locos or somthing like that

i think they pretty much wrapped up the whole movie in the video game which sucked as much as a sequal would. This is one of those movies that shouldnt be touched anymore, i mean yeah itd be fun and could be good if done well but its good enough as is dont you think?

The Thing is awesome, very gory, very atmospheric, total winter movie to watch at night with your friendsbig grin

ragesRemorse

One of my favourite films, story, location, ideas, effects. Very beliveable, its atmoshperic and claustrophobic. This is one film that should never be "sequelled".I also loved the game.

I love this movie. It was the first horror movie I ever saw. When I got older, I had to watch the rest of John Carpernter's movies.

i loved this movie watched it by luck more than anything i borrowed it off a mate because i had seen all the rest of his movie lol and i knew i would be bored that night so i just took it thinking it would be horrible ( hadnt seen anything about it ) but i really liked it and i agree there shouldn't be a remake it would just spoil it IMO.
