Moore as writer. In March 2009, Moore described his script as a “companion piece” to Carpenter’s film and “not a remake.” “We’re telling the story of the Norwegian camp that found the Thing before the Kurt Russell group did,” he said. The prequel is due to be filmed in Toronto, Canada on March 15, 2010 until June 17, 2010. Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Joel Edgerton will play the lead characters of Kate and Sam.

Thing was scariest movie of my childhood.
Although John Carpenter's re-make of Thing From Another World was gory, I believe that the director had every best intention in mind during the development process. With the "New Hollywood" leaning so heavily on film productions to turn a quick profit, I'm worried that many creative corners will be cut. I am hoping for the best. I really love this story.
