Writer Eric Heisserer gets a bad rap for his earlier works. A fan among us, his screenplay for A Nightmare on Elm Street was butchered by director Samuel Bayer, and his unique take on The Thing was destroyed when the studio covered up as many practical effects as they could in the Matthijs van Heijningen Jr.-directed prequel/remake.
Over the years, we’ve shared tons of behind-the-scenes videos from The Thing, and now we have a nearly 30-minute long video showing studioADI‘s badass concept art.
It’s a shock to the system to see what could have been – was there a good movie hiding under all of the CGI plastered over studioADI’s practical work? We’ll never know…
