‘The Thing’ Mashed Up With Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Hateful Eight’ Trailer
YouTube user and longtime io9 contributor Paul Garrison Dean couldn’t help himself. Hell, he even writes, “I’ve never done a straight mashup before, but… The Isolation. The Snow. Dudes. Kurt Russell. I had to.”
Because of these similarities, Dean mashed together the visuals of Quentin Tarantino’s newest trailer for Hateful Eight with the audio of John Carpenter’s The Thing, creating “The Thing Rides West”, a glorious trailer that actually, in my mind, looks FAR more interesting than what Tarantino’s latest film seems to offer.

‘Kong x Godzilla: The Ride’ Theme Park Attraction Opens in South Korea This Summer [Trailer]
Legendary’s Monsterverse is a multi-media empire at this point, and the brand’s first ever theme park attraction is on the way. Fans in Seoul, South Korea will be able to enter the Monsterverse with Kong x Godzilla: The Ride, launching at Lotte World Adventure this month.
Kong x Godzilla: The Ride opens up for business July 24 in Seoul, South Korea!
Head over to Variety for an in-depth preview of the epic new attraction.
Legendary’s James Ngo previews, “This is going to be Lotte’s biggest investment as a ride in the park. It’s going to be the marquee ride and really the main attraction for everything. From the moment guests come to line up, they are being recruited to join Monarch. That’s kind of our opening human touchpoint for the guests to be able to step foot into this world.”
“Kong really guides them through Hollow Earth and all the experiences, while also protecting them against all the dangers that they would find in Hollow Earth,” Ngo continues. “There are massive screens, a lot of amazing media that we’ve created with our partner. There are physical sets as well for our Titans and animatronics at massive, massive scale.
“The combination of real-world things with the media that works together in order to enhance the guest experience makes it extremely immersive.”
Ngo also notes in his chat with Variety, “This is the right time in the franchise for us to bring these major experiential projects to the fans so that they can experience it in real life. We’re going into our sixth movie next year; we have a TV show. So the franchise is kind of at its apex right now in terms of all the different media projects.”
On the big screen, Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. recently announced the title of the sixth Monsterverse film: Godzilla x Kong: Supernova, which is expected sometime in 2027.
