 The Thing (Prequel)

After LOTS of years of writing & development, the prequel to John Carpenter's 1982 classic seems about to start shooting! Happy Dance

http://www.heatvisionblog.com/2010/..._medium=twitter

I think it's a great show of respect to Carpenter & company; doing a prequel instead of a remake. No one would blame them after nearly thirty years, to want to start over. But it's that Norwegian camp at the beginning...we can finally see what happens.

Maybe a sequel would follow this, if it's successful. Keeping the mystery of the final scene going has been part of that film's appeal.

So the release date is set for April 29, 2011?

I don't feel positive about this. erm

A film released on the cusp of the summer movie season, often sends the message the studio doesn't think it can compete with other films in a busy season. Even February-March has become a better window for release these days. No film released the last weekend in April has ever done much of anything ( see The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, No Escape etc.)

The big thing would be explaining the presence of some non-Norwegians in the camp. Maybe when that helicopter sailed off to the hunt the Thing, survivors got out some other way and made it to civilization, which the men at the US camp would never have known.

Should merge the two topics.


Except we're in two different forums. Which one should it be...

The original topic, and I believe that's this one, so the Horror section.
