I was checking out the trailer and ended up scratching my head. I thought this was supposed to be a prequel to the 1981 John Carpenter classic, but looks somewhat of a prequel and also somewhat of a re-make. Hmmm, and why call it "The Thing" again? Why not "Who Goes There?" or a different title. Maybe something lame like "The Thing 2"

From what I can tell, that trailer is from Whiteout, not remake/prequel of Thing.

That trailer isnt the right one. Its a fan made trailer using bits of other movies.

Wolfprophet04 Sep 2011 6:30 p.m. PST

Just as Chuck said. It's in the description of the video. Fanmade. I do not like it, despite the fact he hopes I do. It's like false advertising.

Wolfprophet04 Sep 2011 6:34 p.m. PST

Also, here's the actual trailer.

This is my fan-made trailer for the upcoming movie Re-make/Prequel of "The Thing" (1982) is set to be released April 29th, 2011."

Looks like it has clips from White Out and Silent Hill the movie.

I hope this will at least be decent and not another second rate remake.

Bowman15 Sep 2011 8:42 p.m. PST

Well the Carpenter "Thing" was also a remake.

Jeroen7216 Sep 2011 12:04 a.m. PST

Ehmm, that's true but not second rate ;)

Does that mean everyone will be Norwegian(Iirc)?

Does that mean everyone will be Norwegian(Iirc)?

According to MacReady, they would be speaking Swedish.

"Crazy Swedes!"
"They're Norwegian, Mac"

I just saw the trailer on TV. I am glad it is not a remake (though whether it will be original remains to be seen), as the original has aged well.

Great opening scene!

The Beast Rampant20 Sep 2011 8:23 p.m. PST

I have seen the trailer several times. I have seen several characters speak, all plain old English. Does this mean Tom Cruise will make a cameo?

Space Aardvark26 Sep 2011 5:30 a.m. PST

If Tom Cruise appears in the movie can it be as an amputee for arm chomping effects? Ok, I know he has two arms, but I can always borrow an axe.

Well, number of the actors are Danes and Norwegians, unlike any of the actors in the 1982 version.
