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. [...]
Welcome to another instalment of our regular section in which members of the HeyUGuys family discuss a variety of topics concerning all things cinema. We’ll pick a topic inspired by what’s happening in the world of film and invite our writers to voice their opinions, an invitation we extend to you. If you want to [...]
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 [...]
The Thing hits UK cinemas today and if you missed it, you can catch our review of the prequel to the John Carpenter movie here. The movie stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Eric Christian Olsen, Joel Edgerton, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Ulrich Thomsen, Kim Bubbs and our friends from Upbeat caught up with many of them at the [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Although I’m tempted to say that John Carpenter’s The Thing needs a prequel like a hole in the head, the upcoming prequel (due to reach us in the UK in December, but washing up in the US in mid-October) is actually looking pretty good from what we have seen so far. The Thing 2011 will [...]
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, [...]
That’s a terrible pun and I’m actually genuinely sorry. But hey – it’s gets better because we’ve finally got a clip from the prequel to The Thing, called The Thing. Following the creepy as heck poster and a trailer which did a good job of teasing Matthijs van Heijningen Jr’s film and this new clip [...]
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 [...]
In fine marketing tradition a few days ago we had the first poster for the prequel to The Thing, confusedly called The Thing, and now there’s the first trailer for Matthijs van Heijningen Jr directed film. It is the same as the leaked trailer which found its way onto the internet last year and it’s [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) has been cast as Mary Todd in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, a role that had reportedly been awarded to Robin McLeavy (The Loved Ones). Winstead will star opposite Benjamin Walker (Kinsey), Anthony Mackie (The Hurt Locker) and Dominic Cooper (Tamara Drewe) in the adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith’s mash-up novel. [...]
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 [...]
A teaser trailer for The Thing, which was shown at the New York Comic-Con over the weekend, has leaked online and can be viewed at the bottom of the post, courtesy of Bloody-Disgusting. The quality leaves a lot to be desired so it’s up to you if you want to watch it like this or [...]
