thingProduction Weekly posted on their Twitter page that the long-gestated prequel to John Carpenter’s masterpiece The Thing is a go. Those involved sure have some huge boots to fill. Matthijs van Heijningen, Jr. directs the story about the mutation that attacked the Norwegian base that was briefly shown in the remake.

“Universal’s prequel to John Carpenter’s classic thriller “The Thing,” is due to begin filming March and continue till June in Toronto.”

I'm just an average man/ With an average life/ I work from nine to five/ Hey, hell, I pay the price/ All I want is to be left alone/ In my average home/ But why do I always feel/ Like I'm in the twilight zone

    Rob Bottin’s wonderful make-up will be replaced with CG. If they are smart they will combine the two like Stephen Sommers did with DEEP RISING.
