July 18, 2011 -- The The Thing Trailer Looks Awfully Similar to Some Obscure 1982 Movie
(July 18, 2011) There's something oddly disconcerting about watching a trailer for the new The Thing movie. Firstly, it was delayed 7 months for reshoots, meaning something wasn't quite right. Secondly, it's a prequel to the 1982 version, and if you are one of the few people on Earth who haven't seen it, according to that movie the only two survivors of this prequel are gunned down in the beginning. Thirdly, it looks identical to the movie that came out nearly 30 years ago. I'll still probably see it, though. Not just because Mary Elizabeth Winstead's in it, though. I swear.
