It is the same as the leaked trailer which found its way onto the internet last year and it’s a great return to the world of Carpenter’s film, which incidentally holds up magnificently today, and this prequel looks to have captured the isoparanoia* perfectly.
Flamethrowers, beards and furry collars – sign me up. This one lands in October.
MSN Movies had it first, here’s your trailer.
Video: ‘The Thing’ Movie Trailer
*this is a word.
Carpenter’s original film is his finest (yes, I think it’s better than Halloween), and it’s a hard act to follow (and precede). Here’s hoping they utilise non-CGI effects for the most part, as the original did.
I showed my son and his pal The Thing a number of years ago (they were perhaps 13 at the time) and it completely freaked them out…old school effects rule!
