Im start to thinking , the thing is better than ALien and Predator

@snake2006 Not only that, but one of the writers for Alien was a writer for Carpenter's first big film: Dark Star. That writer borrowed several elements from Dark Star when writing Alien. So if anything, Carpenter himself inspired Alien, too.

It is based on the short story.John Carpenter didn't want to remake the 1951 movie. He wanted to make it like the short story originally was since the 1951 Thing had almost nothing to do with the original story. Kinda like every version of I am Legend, not a single one of those movies comes close to following the book, with the Will Smith movie coming the closest but still far. Which pisses me off btw.

English is my first language, but it's PAINFULLY CLEAR THAT THE MOVIE IS BASED ON THE SHORT STORY WHO GOES THERE? John Carpenter has said so himself. John Carpenter was asked to remake the 1951 film The Thing from Another World. John Carpenter saw that movie as a child and was a big fan of that movie. He was inspired to film making from THAT MOVIE. So shut the fuck up. Alien has similarities to that short story which is OLDER THAN FUCKING ALIEN. It is NOT BASED ON ALIEN. DEAL WITH IT
