‘The Thing’: John Carpenter Teases New Project Currently in the Works
Presented with a virtual Cheval Noir Award this weekend at the ongoing Fantasia International Film Festival, John Carpenter also took part in an hour-long “masterclass” conversation packed with questions from fans, talking about his music and films. During the chat, Carpenter noted that The Thing is the film he’s most proud of, while also teasing, well, something.
While speaking about Jason Blum, Carpenter teased: “I think he’s gonna be working on The Thing… rebooting The Thing. I may be involved with that. Maybe. Down the road.”
What’s Carpenter talking about here? Well, you may recall that earlier this year it was announced that a film adaptation of Frozen Hell was in the works, the newly-unearthed expanded version of John W. Campbell Jr’s novella Who Goes There? that served as the basis for Carpenter’s The Thing. The team behind the upcoming project? Universal and Blumhouse.
It would seem this is the project Carpenter is referring to, and if so, this is the first time we’ve heard of Carpenter himself having any (potential) involvement in that project. Innnteresting…
This particular conversation begins at 27-minutes into the video below.

Just two months after his daughter Ishana Night Shyamalan debuts on the big screen with horror movie The Watchers, M. Night Shyamalan is back with his new thriller Trap.
M. Night Shyamalan’s new thriller for Warner Bros. – the sixteenth movie in his Oscar-nominated career thus far – is headed to movie theaters nationwide on August 9, 2024.
Watch the official trailer below to begin a twisted new mystery-box experience, which features performances by rising music star Saleka Shyamalan as fictional pop star Lady Raven.
In the upcoming thriller starring Josh Hartnett, “A father and teen daughter attend a pop concert, where they realize they’re at the center of a dark and sinister event.”
As the official trailer for Trap reveals, the pop concert is actually an elaborate trap designed to catch The Butcher, a sadistic serial killer who has been evading authorities.
Hartnett had recently described the mysterious film as “very bizarre” and “very dark.”
According to IMDb, the cast for Trap also includes Hayley Mills, Marnie McPhail, Vanessa Smythe, Saleka Shyamalan, Scott Ian MacDougall, Kristi Woods, and Cali Lorella.
Trap is the first film Shyamalan has made under his new deal with Warner Bros., which has been described as a “multi-year first-look directing and producing agreement.”
The film is produced by Ashwin Rajan, Marc Bienstock and M. Night Shyamalan.
The executive producer is Steven Schneider.
