"The Thing" prequel begins shooting this Friday...
Ari:
well since THE THING we are talking about is a remake in itself, based on a story, I kinda think, who cares? like it or not.

I was thinking the same thing.
I do hope turns out good though as I really like the 1982 version...
Ari:
I like both versions, the original has that great Howard Hawks style of people tqalking over each other, as happens in real life, not in film or TV, its suspense is great, love it.
The remake, I like also, but for different reasons, the FX are still superb, its enjoyable,
I hope the 3rd telling is also entirely different, but equaly as good.
Fingers crossed.
brude:
Yeah, the 1951 original has never diminished. Still my favorite classic sci-fi.
Carpenter's 'remake' went back to the book. Loved it.
Maybe this new angle will strike a different nerve.
And hopefully it's not a hemorrhoid...
MoviePosterBid.com:
I love both versions of the film we now have. Carpenter's version does go towards the book more, but is still not an entirely faithful adaptation. Now what the new film is going to be is essentially an extrapolation of what goes on before the book material.
why bother?? why don't you just make your own story.. Oops.. that's what they're doing. But they tying it to the Thing just to get some milage and not for any truly artistic reasons
I'll probably see it at some point, like when it gets to the $3 DVD bin
