I think you see more of the newly CG thing in this trailer for The Thing Again than you see in the entirety of the real The Thing, but I’m still kind of stoked about it? It’s Ramona Flowers fighting an alien, and god the original’s good, so… yeah. I know, I know. It will probably disappoint. Still.

I have a hunch that this Thing is just going to make me want to watch the original Thing, preferably on 35mm, and preferably on as big a screen as possible. Huh. I WONDER HOW I COULD MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

  1. Carpenter’s film is “the original Thing”??!? James Arness would kick your ass if he were still alive (and he’s barely cold, so maybe he will anyway).
