Saw this on another forum and thought I'd share it here.

Personally I don't have much hope for this but it does have Mary Elizabeth Winstead so it can't be all bad...... I hope.

The 80's The Thing is one of my all time favorites. Looks entertaining. i wonder if Uncle Creepy is the one who slices his wrists open. Hmmm.

Surely you're not suggesting that some things should be left to the audiences imagination? Why, that's just absurd.

Prequel? Just read Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness.

Wait,

Spoiler

don't we already know the fate of the Norwegian team?

edit: I should probably spoiler tag that.

I figure this will be just an entertaining bloodbath of morphing swedes & many versions of the thing popping up. (I know.... Norwegians)

Looks good, and yes we already know the fate of the Norwegians. I just hope they don't change the story and all that jazz just to give us a happy ending.

No interest whatsoever. I understand this because the money is in re-releasing, re-invisioning, sequeling, and prequel-izing existing properties that people like or remember fondly. This just reeks of cheap money grab.

But being a big fan of the original film and what it was trying to do, I will probably never waste my time watching this drivel.

I looove the original and although im sure this will be nothing compared to it i'll watch it anyway.

The only reason that this film may have some hope is because Ronald D. Moore is a co-writer - same guy who created the new Battlestar Galactica series, and wrote most of the Klingon episodes from Star Trek: the Next Generation.

Moore has some great creative talent. I'm always interested in the projects he's involved in.
