"This is more of a prequel than a sequel, there is your exclusive. Its going to be taking place in the same time frame."
"These are the events leading up to the 1982 film."

I love the original "The Thing (1982)" (it´s a undisputed horror masterpiece), so this (prequel) doesn´t sound that bad... Then again, CGI would ruin this in a heartbeat.. Imagine some silly computer-created creature bouncing on the walls etc. Huu, scary.
IMO we still have hope, though (for this "new" film).
Re: The Thing - prequel planned (not remake or a sequel)
To me, the 1982 film used the original (The Thing From Outer Space) as the prequel to their story, except making them Norwegions. Nonetheless, I'll wait for the DVD on this one.

Yeah, just not getting the prequel designation on this. Kurt Russel's character is born. He eventually becomes a scientist and gets his helicopter pilot's license. Maybe he flies in Vietnam during the war (uhm, police action! police action!). After his honorable discharge he's hired by an organization planning an operation in the arctic. Then...what Russell G said.
Real Name: Arthur Belling of "St. Looney Up-The-Cream-Bun-and-Jam"

There's two things that I'm sure are all but guaranteed with this movie: 1. There will be cheap CG and 2. it will be direct to video so most people won't even notice its release.
