  • I miss Kurt Russle and that black dude...

  • horrible remake. boring, role reversal. the original is still the gold standard.

  • OMG,  An 80's film filled with cliches! It looks LAAAAME!!

  • What a shame the bastard fuckers who produced this felt that they had to give into politically correct insanity and have a woman in it.  The original Carpenter had great stress because a group of blokes were trapped and angry.

  • THE EAR RING GIVES HIM AWAY AT THE END

  • @MrAlkapone92.. What?.. Snow?

  • hey FilmsActuTrailers, why does it say remake instead of prequel?

  • don't open "I Am Legend 2: Awakening - official" it will fuck ur day!

  • It reminds me AVP 1. I mean the scenery.

  • ain't gonna watch dat shit

  • I don't think the original was written with a female lead character?

    why does hollywood always do this?

    I don;t think I'll be going to see this shit.

  • @charliewhisky111

    Have you ever seen the 1951 version "The Thing from Another World", THE original Thing movie and it had women in it

  • @Johnlindsey289 no -- haven;t seen it -- I thought the Carpenter version was the original? Not complaining that women are 'in it' of course, more so that cinema appears to be re-wrting many classic stories, by way of erasing male lead roles and replacing them with female leads. I expect we'll have Sherlette Holmes before long, with a bumbling, incompetent male side kick.

  • @charliewhisky111

    Watch it here on youtube and see why 1982's movie was NOT the original. 1951's movie is a very loose adaptation of the John Campbell 1939 novella "Who Goes There" and 1951's movie was kind of a campy adaptation that had women in it included because no one in the 50's would be ready for an all guy film. 1982's movie was a very faithful and true adaptation of the novella.

  • @Johnlindsey289 cheers -- will do.

  • Carpenter's The Thing was a great movie... Lest's not call this a remake but a recrap.

  • I was here because of the Ditto

  • who is this girl? some nobody lead role? first one had kurt russell for the lead, why change it with a female character?

  • I saw the first movie when i was 13 i think ill see this one just to scare my friends, i feel a movie night is coming up >:3

  • new horrors are all alike and completely gay...

  • Ramona Flowers? O.o

  • Like if you have A torrent website opened in the other tab.

  • And now we wait.

    But the first Thing is still one of my favourite movies, and this one has to be really good to match the previous one.

  • @Tarenaccount - why so serious?

  • @Tarenaccount - well i just saw it i said. pwfewwttt...

  • @Tarenaccount - hahahaha. Youre a wonderful troll. Anyway, i know now, cause ive just seen it at a test screening in burbank. Its before russels team arrive, its the building of the settlement. Alot of effects. probably too many for fans of the old one. its like war of the worlds meet planet of the apes. Tiny story. Standard fright/action. forget it.

  • It's a prequel

  • I kinda think that if the research team was Soviet and not Norwegian they would have pwned that alien.... :D

  • press 7 .  dude? Did you just fart?!

  • I hope they don't have any of that bullshit CGI and show some respect to the first movie and put some effort into it.

  • RULE NUMBER ONE: Do NOT remake a masterpiece.

  • @horrorflesh its not a remake son, it takes place before the first movie

  • @StuntChickenAu - its a remake to me nomatter what. The storyline in "The Thing" is not rocket science. i hope this flick suck, cause i love the old thing so much.

  • @horrorflesh

    1982's movie was NOT the original! The original was made in 1951 called The Thing from Another World and it was a black and white creature film, 1982's movie was a remake but a true faithful adaptation of John Campbell's novella "Who Goes There" which inspired the 1951 version. Do your research.

  • Hey, Sweden!

  • John Carpenter's is a classic!!! So many great shock scenes and enough script and good acting to keep it afloat. I'm glad this is a prequel....the original would be hard to beat. This one is looking good...but I'll reserve comment until I've seen it.

  • the old the thing sucked

  • @supernintendogames1 So do you on your fathers dick.

  • @Soviet20 aww come on no hate comments if i was born in the 70's i would have liked it but i wás born too late to get scared of it. i understand why you got mad at me sorry

  • @supernintendogames1 It wasn't that bad. fuck it was way better than the shitty Alien vs predator shit.

  • OMG Ive been saying for years they should remake this film! :D

  • The Ditto o_o

  • i've seen prequels and movies who are shittier then this movie

  • 30 Days of Nightflash back 1:03 0.o

  • 1:36 What is this ?

  • Lik den for Artige.no :D

  • Guys! The beginning of the original are Norweagin dudes shooting at a dog in a helicopter .. . thats' how this movie ends. = PREQUEL.

  • Prequel: Things that happened before the real Story

    Real Story: Real Story

    Sequel: Things that will happen after the real Story

  • Wow...wow...

  • Hey, I'm back! Just got back from checking out The Thing Remake. I enjoyed it. I appreciate how they kept with the original theme. Great surprise at the end; I won't ruin it - Go See It! Later!

  • Just viewed the trailer. I would think they'd make a sequel. This movie is a remake. I feel that it needs Kurt Russell involved sense he was in the original. I'll let you know what I think, not that it maters! :-)

  • Is it already out?

    

  • EH! Troll fight going on...Can't people just stick to the Video??

  • @MultiSonikku Oh believe me, those words will go through one ear, and out the other of the guy I'm arguing with... or at least getting trolled at. It's the inanity of this guy that's gonna make me stop fighting, unless he proves he's the better man by quitting first.

  • So they all die in the end.

  • How many creatures are there? The "Thing" just can't seem to die...Damn!!!

  • This story did not need to be told and not by a bland talent.

  • I think the casting of and bringing in a woman to be the main protagonist (and a bland one at that) is a major mistake. What made the 1982 film was the group of grizzled, character actors. The director/studio decision asks of us to maintain our disbelief in that the Norwegians were adamant in not wanting anyone in their base and a woman is the exception. It destroys the subtext built up in the JC's premise.

  • i like The Ditto trailer better...

  • It's kindof unrealistic if it's a prequel because since when did Russians let woman do things?

  • @TheJoeshmoer Oh sorry that I get my facts fucked up. I hate people that do that too.

  • First Fright Night, now this? ugh!

  • @MrCommanderData

    Have you forgotten the 1951 version?

  • NO YOU DIDNT

  • im expecting mutch of this movie

    the original is very good!

    i hope they dont fk up such a good movie

    like other remakes

  • i justed watch the original and i did wonder what happen to the guys at the beginning, maybe the ending of this movie will be like the beginning of he original

  • Lame and gay

  • *Norweagin sorry

  • girl's acting obviously sucks

  • Urgh i hate Hollywood, wonder what tripe slides off there shit remake/prequal/sequal conveyor belt next :/

  • Hope this aint a shitty CGI borefest that ends up looking like a computer game

  • Swedes with flamethrowers...

    Dear god.

  • @donbionicle FUCKING NORWEAGIN!!!! GOOOOD, DONT MIX US WITH THEM!!!!

  • @RobinHestadNilsen I've always wanted to be from Iceland.

  • Okay, so if this is a prequel...

    ...why does this look like the exact same story as the original, but with new characters?

    I'm giving this a chance for now, but come on Hollywood, let's start making some new shit.

  • LOOK AT THE TOP COMMENT!!!GRRR NOT REMAKE!!!!! GRRR PREQUEL!!!!!

    P-R-E-Q-U-E-L!!!!

  • @Lynchotype Get over yourself. It's a remake sold to us as prequel to avoid comparisons with the original. Sure it's the Norwegians but everything that happens in it is the same.

  • @satanicpustule

    Which is the superior film? 1982's movie was NEVER THE ORIGINAL

  • Uh Uh Oh I smell bullshit !!

  • I saw the origional The Thing when I came into the TV room, where my dad fell asleep while TV, and right when I entered, The Thing was starting. I thought the title was cool, so I stayed and watched it. It was one of my first Horror flicks, and it was incredible.

    Now that this prequal is coming out, I can't wait to put my nerdy feet in that theatre on October to see the grand masterpiece being reborn!

  • @Trekiefreak777 Make sure to send me a reply when you come out disappointed.

  • @killerzboy010 Just saw the movie, and all I can do is lawl at your ignorant comment.

  • @Trekiefreak777 So you're admitting to having shitty taste in films?

  • @killerzboy010 Nope, it's YOU that has a shitty taste, especially since you are judging a movie when you haven't even seen it.

  • @Trekiefreak777 But you're still admitting to likeing dull characters and CG monsters, this movie blows and so do you.

  • @killerzboy010 No I'm not admitting to liking dull characters, since the movie I saw didn't have dull characters, and their is nothing wrong with CGI. CGI may be fake, but so are puppets.

    Seriously, you 80s people are so ignorant these days.

  • @Trekiefreak777 No it's because we realize what is shit, while your little fat body and you can't seem to realize that everything of late has been watered down and is garbage. Fuck CGI fuck you and I hope you die from your illness.

  • @killerzboy010 Ha, you are mad aren't you? Besides, I've seen several fans of the origional who have accepted that it's a great movie. Seriously, you can't even come up with a good reason to hate the film either.

    And to tell you the truth, I way 90 LBS.

  • @Trekiefreak777 Don't lie you fat cunt, I can hear you breathing heavily as you typed out those words. Oh and John Carpenters The Thing wasn't the original, It just goes to show you know nothing about the other movies. Enjoy watching shit like Transformers and The Smurfs and being easily impressed. I bet you have assburgers to you faggot? Lol Diabetes and a Trekkie, yeah you're a virgin I can tell. Maybe instead of watching shitty movies you should go on a diet.

  • @killerzboy010 First off, I am not a fan of Smurfs, and Transformers was average.Also, the only breathing is the laughter coming out of me when I read your vain comments.And I know that JC's version isn't exactly the origional,it was based off of a movie called "The Thing from another World",which is based off the book,"Who goes There?"I only called it origional because I'm refering to how it relates to this prequel.And insulting me of diabetes is only gonna make an ass outa you,rather than me.

  • @Trekiefreak777 What the fuck is an origional? Way to google all that stuff just to back up your claim,dumbass.You have diabetes which in my book makes you fair game to laugh at, hey don't blame me because you can't stop eating. Here's a pro tip from me, eat less and exercise more.

  • @killerzboy010 I googled nothing, I already knew it before. And me mispelling original is nothing compared to how you have Diabetes totally mixed up. It makes you eat less, not eat more. I weigh 90 lbs, probably less than you. And I exercise plenty. I'm on a cross country team.

    Your knowledge on Diabetes earns you the IQ of a "Dumbass".

  • @Trekiefreak777 There is no such thing as an IQ of a dumbass, look it up it doesn't exist you muppett, and don't lie you are fat and a basement dwelling virgin. You still live with your mother. So Why do loads of fat people have diabetes? Just face the facts and then get yourself to therapy. You'll feel better fatty

  • @killerzboy010 So your assuming that based on the amount of fat diabetic people you see, all diabetics are fat right?Wow, no wonder this world has idiots these days.And using things against me,like me saying dumbass as an IQ, is showing that you are fanatic now.I obviously meant that you don't have a big IQ, which is proven by your views on Diabetics.Thats another thing.You are trying to demean me by insulting me of being a diabetic over an opinion of a movie.While its not working, it's immature

  • @Trekiefreak777 You never did deny the virgin, basement dwelling part which means I'm right. You really are a worthless fat piece of shit. Now shut the fuck up because Im the daddy round here bitch. I gotta ask do you feel bad about having a small penis? How does it feel no girl/boy will ever touch your tiny little cock?

  • @killerzboy010 I didn't deny the virgin part because I'm in my late teens, and last I checked, it was illegal to have sex with a person at that age. It's called rape.

    And the rest of your comment proves your just fanatic. Seriously, I'm laugjing so hard, that I can't breath!

  • @Trekiefreak777 The reason why you can't breath is because you're so fat, may I suggest exercise and diet. Perhaps you should look up the word rape dumbass, clearly it doesn't mean what you think it means. If it did then technically you're a rape baby. Which makes you an even bigger faggot. Let's see, small dick, rape baby, can't spell you're properly, dumbass, diabetic (lol), virgin and shitty taste in films, also you're clearly a furry. Yup you're stupid alright.

  • @killerzboy010 Let's check your cons then. Overreacts on my opinions, thinks diabetics are fat, obviously hates gay people (Cause you used "faggot"), ignorant, horny, fanatic, doesn't have an open mind, thinks every new movie is gonna be shitty, knows nothing about diabetes (lol), doesn't know that having sex with an under 18 women is rape, blunt, has a problem with diabetics, thinks 90 pounds is fat, and your clearly immature. What does that make you look like, compared to me?

  • @Trekiefreak777 A fucking God, what the fuck did you think? No matter what I say or do I will always be a better person than you because I don't have Diabetes because Im not fat and I know when to stop eating. Maybe if you got yourself some friends you wouldn't be so depressed, thus you wouldn't eat as much. Hey maybe you'd even get a girlfriend but then that would be incest. Whoops.

  • Comment removed

  • @killerzboy010 You know,I never knew that not having something that was caused by an attack on your pancreas by your body, which has nothing to do with food, makes you a better person.And I had no idea that trying to demean a person about that thing that they couldn't help getting over some fucking movie makes you a god.And you know what?I really don't care, because all it does is make a fool out of you, and will show the world the nazi you truly are. Have fun with your opium!

  • @Trekiefreak777 I knew a stupid faggot like yourself would eventually break Godwins law, you lose fat boy. Enjoy being a sad fat virgin for the rest of your miserable life. Hope the Diabetes kills you, if it doesn't your own depression will.

  • @Trekiefreak777 I'll chalk this one down as a win for me fatboy, enjoy your Diabetes loser. Also you like Fred, plus 5 retard points for you, faggot.

  • @killerzboy010 I feel like I'm reading a statement by Michelle Bachmann. It's amazing how you even say such ignorant things to me, when you could just be calling a diabetic fat in his face. But oh, your the better person aren't you? And for starters, your so called "win" is really just gonna make you look like a prick to everyone. Don't bother replying to me, because I'm not coming back, because I, unlike you, am mature. Good day to ma'am!

  • Not sure but lot of scenes from the original? Its a remake, how can they remake the original music and the outstanding atmosphere, you cant

  • Wait I'm confused, is this a remake or a prequal to the original movie?

  • @firetools It's a prequal. It's about the norwegian crew that was on the station before the beginning of the previous movie.

  • remade this? You cant out do the original, not a chance, sick of remakes gawd

  • @808burt

    1982's movie was NOT the original

  • A banjo? Really? that whole "everbody getting along" scene reeks of a teen massacre flick. In the 1982 film it seemed everybody more or less tolerated each other which upon discovering the aliens ability to disguise itself as those it kills that already existent tension increased. The original knew exatly what tone it wanted and stuck to it all the way through. That... that banjo has me worried.

    *checks clip again*

    A nevermind I was wrong it was a ukelele. False alarm movie'll be great.

  • How is this supposed to be a prequel if many of it's scenes are exactly the same as the original's? Such as the flamethrowers and the dog in the kettle?

  • How is this a prequel if many of the scenes are exactly the same as the original's??

  • cool

  • i actually really want to see this, dispite its a remake it looks pretty true to the origanal. plus i like the way the end music sounds, really 80s synthyness to it

  • From the Creaters of Der! and durpee doope der , brings you a der pee doope tittly tum,

  • Why do we need a prequel to the thing..

  • @thomashood10 because they want to show how the thing ended up there

  • based on this trailer,i say this wont be as good as the original

  • @xxxblacknightxxx0 i probably wont be better but doesnt mean i will not be good it looks pretty decent

  • @DIGyourMAN yes indeed,im not suggesting it will be horrible,it does seem decent.but i starkly doubt it will be great or better than the original

  • This is total bullshit! The song they play in the background that you guys probably think is a typicall "Norwegian" song is infact a song by the indigenous people of Norway called "the sami people". The Sami people are NOT known for being part of any leading sienceprojects for Norway, because they are simple people that values the hunter-gatherer society and lives in the north of Norway. The sami people came from the east through Russia and look different than typicall Norwegians. Bullshit song

  • @Larsen6969 cool story bro

  • <3 d game!!..XD...itz betta dan d movie

  • So are all those americans supposed to be the Norwegian guys who couldn't speak even one word of english?

  • Question, is this like the before to the story? Like, in the beginning of the original movie the other base is chasing the "dog." Is this based on that base or is this an actual remake?

  • i hope they dont tone down the gore

  • @MegaFUZZYDICE Well, there wasn't actuall much gore in the first one. It was mostly animatronics. Too much gore just cheapens it.

  • ok if its about the norwegions its not considered a remake but what do I now?

    but if its a remake its probably going to suck & its not worth it

  • this feels wrong they should be speaking norwegion and by facts from the first film they should all get killied feels like its begging it!thanks hollywood!

  • this feels wrong they should be speaking norwegion and by facts from the first film they should all get killied feels like its begging it!thanks hollywood!

  • Dipshits it's suppose to be a prequel, remember the Swiss guys at the beginning of the original, it was these guys.

  • @FlamingYoda339

    They weren't Swiss they were Norwegian. 

  • @FlamingYoda339 EHRMMMM NORWEAGIN.....

  • @FlamingYoda339 They're Norwegians, dipshit.

  • Comment removed

  • @FlamingYoda339 Norwegian

  • Unfortunately there's almost no way it can be as good as the original. Still....... must watch

  • where the hell are these people getting flamethrowers?

  • must watch..

  • Guys, Mary Elizabeth Winstead is in this movie. Everything else is irrelevant.

  • is this movie gonna be about the norwegions that were all dead in the original movie

  • @christian0314 yes ,this is not a remake its a prequel

  • @christian0314 yes.

  • @christian0314 Yes Christian it is, it's a prequel.

  • Hm, the trailer is boring...

  • wow, what a great way to ripoff one of the most chilling, uncomfortable horror film of all time. Copy the name,but abandon the ballzy vision of a passionate director. Good job!

  • a remake of a remake woow how creative and i like how its looking nearly exactly the same as the john carpenter's version besides having a woman as the main character, saying that ill prob go see it cos (the thing) is a sweet movie i just wish they would of made a sequel instead of this crap.

  • @MickeyP91

    Misconception, 1982's movie was a faithful re-adaptation of the novella "Who Goes There" by John Campbell

  • mac wants the flame thrower! MAC WANTS THE WHAT!

  • joik har større kraft enn kruff fukkers :-)

  • and and for the ending....the main character(s) are going to kill the fuck out of it in some god-awful explosion and the sun's going to come up and there's going to be a cheesy line at the end and the camera's going to cut and roll credits...

    and post-credits ending...BOOM! Another jump scare...the monster's actually still alive.

    THE END (HAHA! WE HAVE YOUR MONEY!!! ~with love from Hollywood :) )

  • @RStudiosPrimo yep indeed this will never touch john carpenters version. hollywood makes me sick! to many asshole executives basterdizing brilliant films

  • @jester26uk

    Have you forgotten 1982's movie was A REMAKE of a 1951 black and white movie and a more faithful adaptation of the novel "Who Goes There" that inspired 1951's version?

  • If a video game spawns from this (which of course is going to) becomes worse than the "The Thing" video game from before, I better not hear "I'm locked and loaded and ready to make shit gay!"

    ...

    Terrible video game aside, this movie looks the similar to all the "horror" flicks of today...Hollywood's just made another ripoff of a modern zombie where there's nothing but gore-tastic kills and only jump scare thrills.

    Oh joy...

  • the original's from 1951... John's already a remake ... So this is a re-remake ...

  • @adamlinks

    1982's movie was a faithful adaptation of the novel that inspired the 1951 movie

  • Seems to have captured a bit of the atmosphere. Fingers crossed. We'll wait and see.

  • Lol, derp, they already gave away the identity of The Thing in the trailers, how tarded. GG Hollywood remake. Good thing about the old Thing was you didnt know who it was until the end

  • @scoutlab1991 Did you even see The Thing from John Carpenter? Because then you should know, that it was more then just one who was infected. Looks pretty much the same here.

  • @MrKumbao Oh fuck off, I know that, dont have to be so anal about it. My point is The Thing's original trailer didnt reveal who were the assimilated crew members.

  • 0:48 Macready (from The Thing): They thaw it out, it woke up. And probably not in the best of mood.

  • hope this movie have lot of gore n bloody scene, i like that...

  • (SIGHS) It is always the americans that are the smart ones and survive an out broken alien disease! And always the norwegians that are to blame! WHY?

  • this is not a dam remake!!! this is da prequel!

  • Utter shite. The Thing was my favorite movie, but I'm sad to see modern hollywood get at it. :/

  • Lame. The Thing has no reason to have a prequel, sequel, or remake. It's a classic and no movie, no matter how good, could live up to the outstanding acting, atmosphere, and (for their time) special effects of the original. I have little hope for this movie and expect it to be as bad as the Nightmare On Elmstreet remake.
