I am not huge into horror movies, but I can remember seeing The Thing as a kid and is scared the s*@& out of me. Maybe it was because I was a kid, or maybe it was just a scary movie. Word is, director Matthijs Van Hejningen begins filming this March on a prequel.
Collider.com gives us the information:
For those who don’t remember, the 1982 film began with a Norwegian helicopter trying to kill a runaway dog only to have its pilot and passenger killed in the confusion. While The Thing eventually makes it clear why they were trying to kill the dog, Moore’s script focused on what led up to that helicopter chase. It’s unclear how much Heisserer changed and what they’re going for tonally with this prequel. I do hope the tagline for the prequel will be, “Okay, so it turns out there’s actually a warmer place to hide than man.”
