Guest Wall Bird Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 God, what ever happened to mystery? Isn't there a better way to construct trailers in which they don't have to reveal which characters have turned or how they die, not to mention all of the effects shots?

Rubin Farr Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 found this buried in the trailer, pretty fucking cool. i've read continuity with the original is priority one when making the new film. 1982 2011 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide all signatures Positive Metal Attitude Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/68196-the-thing-2011-prequel/page/4/#findComment-1665117 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cryptowen Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 ^Bit different. TPM had no real reason for mimicking shots besides that silly "rhyming moments" thing Lucas tried to pull, put this Thing prequel takes place three days before the original so being consistent is a good idea. Not saying the dude having the same beard & funky glasses guarantees a good movie, but I'll give the costume department an A for Affort.

Rubin Farr Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 There are some other details already discussed, the ax in the door, the face split in half. Also remember Russell found the VCR the Nords used to film their entire find, as well as setting charges to blow up the ice covering the ship. That seems to be the big set piece in this prequel.

Caretstik Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I'm happy I never saw the remakes of Assault On Precinct 13 or Halloween, so I'll be happy to ignore this inevitably offensive effort as well (forget the 50s version which was a bit crap, JC made it his own).
