Its a prequel it will suck, it was supposed to come it in may but it was considered too ty to be a summer movie
I'm not going to see this. Not in the theater...on demand...never. Some classics are just not meant to be tampered with.

Looks like the first one but with a chick.
This now seems more like Alien since it has a female protagonist.
Yes, it is a prequel about the Norwegian camp.
Tbh it looks pretty damn fun. It won't rival the Kurt Russel classic though but hopefully it'll be much better than "Escape from New Jersey"
No no no! The original classic is "The Thing From Another World", 1951, with James Arness as the "thing".
Unless they use the old school effects of the original remake, pass.
Carpenter's is all that's needed.
Pee-ree-ud
Yes! I actually saw this as a kid BEFORE I saw the Thing.
Same goes for
The Karate Kid
A Nightmare On Elm Street
Fright Night
The Lost Boys
Arthur
Footloose
Red Dawn
Weird Science
Charlie and The Chocolate Factory
Ferris Buellers Day Off
Total Recall
and a uva lot more!
And seriously, actually think about this . Any of the ones I mentioned that have already come out. Does ANYONE actually TRULY remember the new versions? What f**** impact did they really have? When I hear those les, noone gives a damn anymore about them. I still think back to the originals. Nothing but a damn waste of time, money and a complete massacre of film.
Been waiting for this.
Yet, the probability of sucking is high.
To be fair, Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was never remade. Technically.
Actually, I thought Charlie and Chocolate Factory was pretty good. My favorite was the ring of squirrels
True but the rare instances like the new Batman give me hope since Tim Burton's was such a classic as well.Same goes for
The Karate Kid
A Nightmare On Elm Street
Fright Night
The Lost Boys
Arthur
Footloose
Red Dawn
Weird Science
Charlie and The Chocolate Factory
Ferris Buellers Day Off
Total Recall
and a uva lot more!

Tbh this prequel looks like a fun movie especially if it has the pacing of the original.
The new Batman series doesn't count at all.
lol just cause it's the original doesn't make it the classic. Everyone knows the 82 version is the classic. Can't have 2 classics of the same movie and everyone agrees the 82 version wins
Plus dogs make better thing's.
Kinda cool how they used wolf mixes, so when the "wild" in them came out, it made you think "something is not right".
It looks alright...looks better than most other remakes...and make no mistake..this is a remake...but yes...can't hold a candle to Kurt Russels/Carpenters "The Thing"...good for the new generation...
The 82 version wasn't even considered that great when it first released. The 51 classic was a classic and will always be a classic, regardless of how good its remake was.
The '51 version has aged very poorly. And initial poor reception does not determine whether a film is a classic. The Shining was nominated for multiple Razzies, and it's considered one of the best horror movies of all time. Vertigo did very poorly compared to most Hitch films, and is now considered by many to be his best and a top-20 movie all-time.
Looks awful. The dropoff from Kurt Russell to this girl looks like it will be immense. The only good part of that trailer was hearing Carpenter's music from the original.
This doesn't make any sense. There have been tons of movies that have been remade or done multiple times based on the same source material and both versions have been classics; True Grit, The Magnificent Seven, The Fly, Scarface, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, etc.
double post
I said nothing to the contrary. That doesn't mean the 51 version isn't a classic in its own right, and it doesn't mean "everyone" agrees the 82 version is the "only" classic Thing adaptation.
One could go even deeper and say the "real classic" was the short story all are based upon, even if all the movies are considered "classics." Get me?
Ah, my bad. I admittedly neglected to ask "everyone"
anyone supporting this should be written in the death note
