Wow. The Thing is definitely heating up. Judging from the images and clip that hit yesterday there’s no doubt that marketing is kicking into high gear.
Worldwide, it seems, with the addition of this Spanish one-sheet. It’s a familiar piece of key art, and I’m wondering if “La Cosa” sounds as scary in Spanish as “The Thing” sounds in English.
Directed by Matthijs van Heijningen Jr and starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Scott Pilgrim) and Joel Edgerton (Warrior), The Thing hits theaters on October 14th.
“Paleontologist Kate Lloyd (Winstead) has traveled to the desolate region for the expedition of her lifetime. Joining a Norwegian scientific team that has stumbled across an extraterrestrial ship buried in the ice, she discovers an organism that seems to have died in the crash eons ago. But it is about to wake up. When a simple experiment frees the alien from its frozen prison, Kate must join the crew’s pilot, Carter (Edgerton), to keep it from killing them off one at a time. And in this vast, intense land, a parasite that can mimic anything it touches will pit human against human as it tries to survive and flourish.”
Hit the jump for the poster.
