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. [...]

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 [...]
On Saturday over at the NY Comic Con, which I attended, Universal held a panel for the upcoming prequel of John Carpenter’s 1982 film, The Thing. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make it to this panel but I can say that a handful of people did and at least one snapped a picture of the new banner [...]

With Spider-Man currently receiving the now popular “reboot” treatment, Screen Rant are claiming to have an exclusive inside scoop from Fox that another property from the Marvel canon, The Fantastic Four, is getting a fresh start and that two actors are being bandied around as possibilities for the role of Mr. Fantastic. Fresh from battling [...]
Prequels are the next big thing, with Ridley Scott going back to the future to follow the exploits of the Space Jockey in his Alien prequel, Andy Serkis and James Franco showing us how it became the Planet of the Apes, Zack Snyder returning to a pre-300 Xerxes, The Hobbit hopefully rolling before the cameras [...]
