A new Russian poster for the 2011 prequel to John Carpenter’s 1982 sci-fi horror The Thing offers a glimpse of the craft that brought the alien beastie to Earth...
Also, a new clip of the movie reveals yet more mimicry of John Carpenter’s original...
Meanwhile, writing for the UK Guardian, Ben Child does not have high hopes for the prequel, noting that the director, Matthijs van Heijningen Jr., “hardly has the pedigree of a The Thing-era Carpenter, being best known as a director of car commercials,” adding, “Hollywood is not quite what it was in 1982.”
Considering 1982 gave us not only The Thing, but also E.T. and Blade Runner in the sci-fi genre alone, it’s hard to disagree.
