Tricky Things

Dutch director Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. is said to be circling the prequel to John Carpenter''s 1982 horror/sci-fi classic The Thing says Bloody Disgusting.



In the original an American scientific expedition to the frozen wastes of the Antarctic is interrupted by a group of seemingly mad Norwegians pursuing and shooting a dog.The team soon realizes that an alien life-form with the ability to take over bodies is on the loose and they don't know who may already have been taken over.

Heijningen sants to make the lead character in his prequel the brother of the original film's lead character R.J. Macready (Kurt Russell).

Really...

Ronald D. Moore wrote the prequel which is said to take place from the Norwegian camp's point of view.

If that's the case.. How can Macteady's brother be there at the same time?

Heijningen is also attached to direct "Army of the Dead".
