The Thing miniseries now a sequel

US cable station the Sci-Fi Channel's upcoming four-hour miniseries 'The Thing' will be a sequel to the 1982 John Carpenter film, and not a remake as had been previously reported.

Horror magazine Fangoria reports that 'The Shawshank Redemption' director Frank Darabont is producing the miniseries.

It is expected to air on US television in December 2005 or early 2006.

The 1982 film 'The Thing' starred Kurt Russell, and focused on the crew of an Antarctic research station who must do battle with an alien parasite.

Years ago, back when Forbidden Planet was still on Dawson Street, I remember they had a comic book sequel to The Thing. It started off with Kurt Russell left in the snow.

Pissed that I didn't buy it, but I think my cousin still has it.

Anyone see that Bruce Campbell Thing-Lite "Terminal Invasion"? Awful movie.

you need to sort that shit out

you can get the special edition DVD for cheap these days

 

[Maxx Stone]

Easily one of the scariest and J.Carpenters best flicks of all time.
Got it on dvd a while ago, quality extras on the special edition

 

[Cormcolash]

The Thing is totally amazing, the bit where they are doing an autopsy on the guy is class! I of course have it on DVD. The sequel better have Kurt Russell and Keith David in it or the makers will have to die.

 

[seanface]

you knows it! bring on keith david. and maxx stone, choke on yr lies. u do not own the thing. it's my copy

Speaking of sequels, well in a sense, I watched that recent Battlestar Galactica miniseries they made yesterday. Being prepared for a big pile of shite, I was absolutely amazed at how good it was. It's fuckin brilliant, best thing like this I've seen since Space above and beyond, it's just sooo well made. They are making a series of it, hopefully it will have plenty of space marine moments in there too, that would be sweet. It's game over man.

only caught the second part,so took a while to get used to who was who(still not entirely sure) Thought it was ok though.
And the Thing rules!!!!!!!!

the whole female starbuck thing is upsetting.

though i think the only person who could properly recreate starbuck is owen wilson.
owen wilson would be amazing as starbuck.

 

[Cormcolash]

Actually yeah, Owen Wilson would be an amazing Starbuck! He practically is Dirk Benedict. Starbuck being a chick is annoying, and what the fuck did they do to Boomer?
