Many fans of John Carpenter’s The Thing aren’t happy about this remake/prequel (they seem to forget Carpenter’s movie was a remake itself), but this Red Band trailer for the movie may allay some of their films. The film seems to be keeping to the creepy weirdness of the shape-shifting creature that was so memorable in the 1980s flick, but with modern effects. While Carpenter’s movie saw Kurt Russell and co. heading for an Antarctic research station only to discover a blood bath has been caused by some sort of creature (and then get attacked themselves), this The Thing charts the events that led up to that. A team of scientists dig a creature from the ice that seems to have been there for 100,000 years. However it turns out it was only lying dormant and soon a shape-shifting monster is on the loose.
