Remake Set for The Thing

The Thing
One such film that will be placed on the remake chopping block is The Thing. Having scared the shit out of me on multiple occasions back in the day, I can easily say that this film gets the job done. Remember when that guy's hands go through the other dude's chest? His hands went through his chest! And then a mouth closed and cut off his hands! That's the scary shit I am talking about! Why remake it?
Remake for The Thing
Strike Entertainment and Universal Pictures will team up to remake John Carpenter's classic frightener The Thing.
Battlestar Galactica exec producer, Ronald D. Moore, will write the script based on an Antarctic research facility that is terrorized by a shape-shifting creature from outer space. It just so happens that this creature hates humans, and dogs for that matter.
Though most didn't realize it, Carpenter's The Thing acted like a sequel to Howard Hawks The Thing From Another World. The film, released in 1951, told the story of an alien that wiped out an Army radar station. The Thing kicks off with people hunting down a dog. Guess where the dog came from. The research team in The Thing also encounters the wiped out station from Another World.
Though The Thing is on of the few old horrors that don't need a remake, Strike Entertainment has made a hobby of doing so with their last foray Dawn of the Dead.
Stay tuned for updates.
