he cometh and he goeth, yay he shalleth enligten(eth) useth witheth hiseth film listeth

thanks i had not realised there was a new X-men movie due out, though it looks like an interesting re-working of the cast (also how will they incorporate alien invasions ala the Havok storyline?)

i must admit i stopped looking at the other thread after 3 pages or so as i had forgotten what was already on there!

I'm just curious on how they can make a prequel of the thing

What i would like to see as a movie is "It Came From the Desert"

Why can't they just leave The Thing as one of those classic one off movies that will never be forgotten instead of doing the prequel shit.

because its hollywood and we all know hollywood enjoy ruining classics. besides you never know theres a 0.001% chance of it being good.

 

[Cerb]

Not even. They are going to ruin my fav horror movie ever

lol, John Carpenter's 'The Thing' was a remake

 

[PLightstar]

Not another Transformers movie. Looks like it is going to include Unicron, Orson Welles played its best in the 80's movie, which is still a million times better than the recent ones. Be giving that a very wide berth.

That's not quite true.

It's based on the same story that the original film was based on rather than being a direct remake of said film.

From the wiki page...

"Ostensibly a remake of the classic 1951 Howard Hawks-Christian Nyby film The Thing from Another World, Carpenter's film is a more faithful adaptation of the novella Who Goes There? by John W. Campbell, Jr. which inspired the 1951 film.[1] Carpenter considers The Thing to be the first part of his Apocalypse Trilogy,[2] followed by Prince of Darkness and In the Mouth of Madness. Although the films are unrelated, each feature a potentially apocalyptic scenario; should "The Thing" ever reach civilization, it would be only a matter of time before it consumes humanity and takes over the Earth."

If anyone owns the film on DVD or better take a listen to the commentary track with John Carpenter and Kurt Russell. They're either drunk or stoned or both and it's well worth a listen.

Quibbling over minor details really.

The point is that whether you want to weight it towards remake or reinvention or reboot (as is the fad of the last few years) JC's The Thing is not the first film adaptation, which makes it a bit of a precarious position to take holding it up as sacred with a memory that should not be tarnished

Just been to see 'Tangled' was really good, except for all the singing but even that was bearable and was not overly sentimental, some very funny moments. /recommend.

I'm never in a position to say "They tarnish X", because often they don't tarnish anything and at the same time they bring the story to an audience that wouldn't bother with old versions.

Per example; know many teenagers who would be iterested in the old thing?

These remakes/reboots will even give more publicity to the origina, thus educating people of the story.

At "campfire story time" era, doubt there were many whining that "you just retold his story!"

BUT, i am still curious on how they can make a prequel that will work as everyone knows the thing.

then again, worked for V.

Priest does look quite awesome.
