The Phd And The Pilot

Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Smokin' Aces guy Joel Edgerton are to star in the new prequel of The Thing says the Heat Vision Blog.



The film directed by Matthijs Van Heijningen from a script by Ronald D. Moore and Eric Heisserer, will explain how the alien was first discovered by a Norwegian research team in the Antarctic-as detailed inJohn Carpenter's 1982 horror classic.

Winstead will play a PhD candidate who joins the research team after it discovers a spaceship in the ice. When an alien organism escapes and goes on the rampage, she teams up with a blue-collar mercenary helicopter pilot (Edgerton) to stop the creature.

Winstead has plenty of genre experience in the remake of Black Christmas, Final Destination 3 and Death Proof

We can expect more casting to announcements to happenm soon as filming is set to begin on March 15.
