From the company behind Slither
There have been rumours about a sequel to John Carpenter's iconic horror nugget The Thing since the day the film opened in 1982. While the likes of Frank Darabont and George Clooney have flirted with ideas and Dark Horse comics has put a story to paper, nothing even close to concrete has emerged.
But now Fangoria is reporting that a follow-up – or, more accurately, a prequel – is currently scurrying through the Arctic development stations of Strike Entertainment.
The company behind the Dawn Of The Dead remake and Slither (which has a deal with Thing-makers Universal) is said to be hunting around for a screenwriter to make the dream a reality.Can this latest attempt make it to the screen? And, more importantly, should it?
Alot of fans think they should let it be and not do another one, some in favour as there is alot to explore/origns in a prequel. It could end up closer to alien if set in space. A sequel would harm the great ending of JC version, so a prequel could take on its own identity, and hopefully not tarnish the JC version if it turns out like Alien vs Predator, weak.
