Prequels are the next big thing, with Ridley Scott going back to the future to follow the exploits of the Space Jockey in his Alien prequel, Andy Serkis and James Franco showing us how it became the Planet of the Apes, Zack Snyder returning to a pre-300 Xerxes, The Hobbit hopefully rolling before the cameras before long – and now Empire have posted a brief interview with one of the stars of the forthcoming prequel to The Thing.
Currently breaking hearts and starting fights as Ramona Flowers in Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, Mary Elizabeth Winstead is clearly taking a Ripley-esque route in the Matthijs van Heijningen directed film, which leads directly up to the events of the 1982 John Carpenter film.
Here she talks about the shift in dynamic as a result of her presence in the male dominated world created by Carpenter, as well as teasing a few flamethrower moments.
Here’s the video, and if you missed the first teaser poster for the film, click here to rectify that.
Now go and see Winstead in Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World!
