It has a nonsensical title, it has fans of both Carpenter’s
1982 film (To which this is a prequel, even though it is also called the thing)
AND fans of the first adaptation ‘The Thing From Another World’ very, very sceptical
about it’s ability to lick the boots of either film. There’s a serious over
abundance of non-Norwegian types and at least one daft “Boo...ha-ha-, it’s just
a dude, oh crap, now it’s the real monster” moment. But The Thing is almost
here and here’s a creature filled, R rated glimpse at what is heading our way
on the 14th of October.
The Thing; A clip for the, confusingly titled, Prequel to John Carpenter’s classic ‘The Thing’ (updated with HD clip).
Synopsis...
“Antarctica: an extraordinary continent of awesome beauty. It
is also home to an isolated outpost where a discovery full of scientific
possibility becomes a mission of survival when an alien is unearthed by a crew
of international scientists. The shape-shifting creature, accidentally
unleashed at this marooned colony, has the ability to turn itself into a
perfect replica of any living being. It can look just like you or me, but
inside, it remains inhuman. In the thriller The Thing, paranoia spreads like an
epidemic among a group of researchers as they're infected, one by one, by a
mystery from another planet. Paleontologist Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth
Winstead) has traveled to the desolate region for the expedition of her
lifetime. Joining a Norwegian scientific team that has stumbled across an
extraterrestrial ship buried in the ice, she discovers an organism that seems
to have died in the crash eons ago. But it is about to wake up. When a simple
experiment frees the alien from its frozen prison, Kate must join the crew's
pilot, Carter (Joel Edgerton), to keep it from killing them off one at a time.
And in this vast, intense land, a parasite that can mimic anything it touches
will pit human against human as it tries to survive and flourish. The Thing
serves as a prelude to John Carpenter's classic 1982 film of the same name.”
