2

Apparently the UK is going to have a longer wait for Matthijs van Heijningen’s prequel to The Thing, which is also called The Thing, as a new release date has been announced of the 2nd of December 2011.

The film’s Facebook page served up the bad news but did offer us a few images of the film which we’ve not had up on the site before as slight recompense and one of them does include a flamethrower. If you’ve not seen the trailer then click here and enjoy.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Joel Edgerton lead the cast which includes Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Eric Christian Olsen, Kim Bubbs, Stig Henrik Hoff, Jonathan Walker and the film is directed by Matthijs van Heijningen Jr.

At an Antarctica research site, the discovery of an alien craft leads to a confrontation between graduate student Kate Lloyd and scientist Dr. Sander Halvorson. While Dr. Halvorson keeps to his research, Kate partners with Sam Carter, a helicopter pilot, to pursue the alien life form.

  1. Is this actually a prequel? To me, the trailer and the recently posted photos make it look like a remake of the original with a bit of prequel thrown in (like Rob Zombie did with Halloween.)
    Was quite looking forward to a pure prequel as in my opinion, the original is a timeless classic that doesn’t really require remaking…

  2. really dumb to have a release date in the UK so long after releasing it elsewhere, a lot of poeple will watch pirated copies. Seem’s the film companies have learned nothing.
