B-movies are a beautiful thing. They can be a fertile breeding ground for films and nowhere is this more apparent than deep within genre territory. You sow your seeds based on a thousand films that have gone before, you throw some filth fertiliser on top and voila, a B-movie that hopefully contains more invention than it does ‘homage’ and, [...]
It is tempting to believe that at some point in the late 1980′s, a minion of Dr Evil’s travelled back in time and stole John Carpenter’s mojo. Up until that point he was in a purple patch of epic proportions, churning out horror films and action flicks of superb quality, breath-taking originality and trend-setting verve. [...]
We return to the barren lands of Antarctica for another dose of bodyshock horror as The Thing offers answers to those who wondered what happened to the other base camp visited by MacReady and his not-so-merry band at the beginning of John Carpenter’s classic chiller from 1982. Billed as a companion piece rather than a [...]
In going back in time to tell the story of what happened before the fateful early moments of John Carpenter’s The Thing Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. had an already high mark to overcome and the prequel with the same name certain;y succeeded in keeping many of the same visual and thematic flavours of the 1982 [...]
John Carpenter may well be the master of horror filmmaking, but that’s not to say that someone else can’t tackle his esteemed previous work. In fact, Dutch filmmaker Matthijs van Heijningen Jr’s 2011 version of The Thing could be argued as a brave career choice, considering the 1982 film’s cult following. Not to be confused [...]
There is possibly a syntactical issue with the above title but this is a John Carpenter film and therefore bears his mark. As with most of Carpenter’s previous films his name is front and centre to ensure audiences know what to expect and to get excited about this being the next John Carpenter flick. The [...]
After an almost ten year absence from directing feature films, John Carpenter is back with The Ward. The film is a mental hospital set horror starring Amber Heard, Lyndsy Fonseca, Jared Harris, Danielle Panabaker and Mika Boorem and it’s really rather good. I was lucky enough to speak to John Carpenter earlier this year (bear [...]
Yes it’s the same as the Russian version that we put up a week or two ago but it IS different as it has English writing of The Thing! Here’s the UK poster. If you missed the new featurette that I put up yesterday, you should check that one out too and it’s a good’n. [...]
This morning has been full to the brim of new UK exclusives with a new Tintin trailer, the new Wuthering Heights poster and now Universal Studios have released this great new featurette from their movie, The Thing. In the featurette, we get to find out exactly how the new prequel to John Carpenter’s 1982 movie, [...]
I really don’t know what to make of The Thing. It’s a prequel with the same name as the film it is supposed to precede, John Carpenter’s sci-fi/horror classic casts a loooong shadow, yet the trailers and clips so far look pretty effective and the creature effects in particular leave me cautiously optimistic. Certainly what [...]
Liking this a lot!! Here’s the brand new red band (seriously freaky) trailer for the brand new movie, The Thing which is a prequel to John Carpenter’s 1982 version which starred Kurt Russell. The 2011 movie is directed by Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. and stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Eric Christian Olsen, Joel Edgerton, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, [...]
Apparently the UK is going to have a longer wait for Matthijs van Heijningen’s prequel to The Thing, which is also called The Thing, as a new release date has been announced of the 2nd of December 2011. The film’s Facebook page served up the bad news but did offer us a few images of the [...]
Anyone out there who is feeling thoroughly fatigued by the number of remakes (or “reboots”) of popular, past cult favourites may be pleased to learn the Snake Plissken will not be making another rescue attempt to retrieve the president from a dystopian New York in the near future. Deadline are reporting that current property holders [...]
UPDATE BELOW We’ve not heard that much about the forthcoming prequel to The Thing, the Matthijs van Heijningen Jr directed The Thing (more on this later…), but here’s what purports to be the first poster for the film. AICN posted the image which isn’t the best quality but it’s an appropriately stark effort nonetheless. The [...]
THE WARD creeps onto Blu-ray and DVD on 16 May and marks the return of legendary Godfather of slasher horror John Carpenter after nearly a decade and evokes the classic finely crafted horror of Halloween and Village of the Damned. Pre-order yourself a copy here to be one of the first to enjoy John Carpenter’s [...]
It’s been a while since we saw anything from the Matthijs van Heijningen Jr directed prequel to The Thing. Let’s remedy that shall right now, shall we? Here’s a picture of Joel Edgerton who plays Sam Carter in the film alongside Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Eric Christian Olsen, and Kim Bubbs, and Edgerton has [...]
After a ten-year absence, John’s Carpenter’s return to feature films with The Ward is one of two exciting releases this week, including the 2010 remake of Meir Zarchi’s controversial I Spit On Your Grave. Both thrillers go head to head, but both offer a horror helping of differing proportions and for different fan bases. After [...]
Earlier this week, a partial version of the new John Carpenter directed movie, The Ward hit the net but now, Warner Bros. have just sent us the brand new trailer for the movie which sees Amber Heard play a troubled young girl in this psychological thriller. The movie also stars Lyndsy Fonseca, Danielle Panabaker, Jared [...]
Universal have mysteriously pulled The Thing from it’s original release date of April 29, 2011. Directed by Matthijs van Heijningen Jr., The Thing, a prequel to the 1982 John Carpenter film of the same name, stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Joel Edgerton, Ulrich Thomsen, Eric Christian Olsen and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje. Universal are actively looking for a new release [...]
With new film The Ward (his first in almost 10 years!) currently doing the rounds at various festivals, it look’s like John Carpenter is already planning to get back behind the camera again. /Film is reporting that the director’s next feature will be a comic book adaptation Darkchylde. Created by Randy Queen in 1996, it’s the story of [...]
