"The Thing" Remake in the Works
George “El Guapo’ Roush posted a note on LatinoReview.com that a remake of “The Thing” is in the works.
Roush spoke with director Marc Abraham, whose new movie, Flash of Genius, will be in theaters Oct. 17, 2008. A future project of Abraham’s is producing a remake of the 1982 horror classic John Carpenter’s The Thing, about a shape-shifting alien that’s revived after being frozen in ice.
Abraham revealed that the movie would be “more of a prequel than a sequel,” and would chronicle the events leading up to the 1982 film.
This is big news for John Carpenter fans, who — like me — are geeked about finding out what happened leading up to the 1982 film. And please. We don’t need another remake of, well, any movie, so I’m glad this is shaping up to be a totally different film. Yowza!
Any thoughts on this? Think you’ll be first in line at the theater?
