‘The Thing’ Prequel Plot Details Revealed…
Here’s a little holiday present we got our hands on just for you! This afternoon we got the working plot details for Universal Pictures and Strike Entertainment’s The Thing, their supposed “prequel” to John Carpenter’s remake from 1982 that starred Kurt Russell and dealt with a shape-shifting creature from outer space that terrorizes researchers at an Antarctic facility. Read on to check it out.
“In the screenplay by Ronald D. Moore, the prequel takes place from the Norwegian camps point of view. An American scientific expedition to the frozen wastes of the Antarctic is interrupted by a group of seemingly mad Norwegians pursuing and shooting a dog.
The helicopter pursuing the dog crashes leaving no explanation for the chase.
During the night, the dog mutates and attacks other dogs in the cage and members of the team that investigate. The team soon realize that an alien life-form with the ability to take over bodies is on the loose and they don’t know who may already have been taken over.”
Sounds like a remake to me…
Carpenter’s 1982 film continued the storyline of the Howard Hawks-directed “The Thing From Another World.” That 1951 film starred James Arness as an alien monster that wiped out workers at an Army radar station. Both pictures were based on the John W. Campbell Jr. 1938 short story “Who Goes There?”
