John Carpenter's remake of The Thing is sublime.

The original isn't much cop though.

Is John Carpenter's a remake? I thought the one with Kurt Russell was the original? (That's the John Carpenter one isn't it?)

Yep, the orginal was called The Thing From Another World

there are rumors there is going to be another remake of The Thing :eek:

so it would be a remake of a remake

MookJong · 25 Jan 2007 at 12:29

They remade The Fog so I wouldn't put it past them.

I adore the The Thing please leave it alone.

Pigeon_Killer · 25 Jan 2007 at 12:40

They've already remade The Fog and Assault On Precinct 13 and filming begins on the Halloween remake at the end of the month

They're also supposed to be doing a remake of the Evil Dead movies

Whats the remake of Fog like?

Remake of assualt isn't a bad film, its not in the same league as the org version but its worth watching and is in the cheap piles for Dvds

Wouldn't buy it for 10p tbh. Very poor, no suspense, no nothing.

Evil Dead II

Defiantly the old wicker man is best.

They are also remaking the classic movie Near Dark! Why must they destroy these good films.

Near Dark isn't even that old either is it.

EDIT: Just checked and it's actually 20 years old this year!

You need the directors cut though with Britt Eckland dancing round naked to fully appreciate the film

Rear shots are not Britt, but front ones are. The director thought she would be upset about showing her rear, so a body double was used (she was snuck in as Britt was leaving the set). Turns out Britt was far more upset that they used a double...

"The Thing" is a good sci-fi/horror and the Hammer Horror films can be amusing. To be honest there's loads of good horror movies.

I remember 'the thing'. Must have watched that ages ago.
