The Thing: A Prequel

[Nathan]

You're welcome. Now crack us open a couple of Bud tallboys! Yeeeee-haaaaaw!

An idea that has no right to exist.

We already have the original. What else is there to tell in the creature's past?

Did he lose his job at the Thing plant and leave his wife and kids for a galaxy that understands him? A mid-Thing crisis?

Because if that was to play out on screen I'd say "count me in", but a prequel involving the Weegees? FUCK YOU Ronnie. And your magnificent beard.

EPIC sir. I would rep you but I can't. Beg your pardon.

I repped him for the both of us, Nerdious.

Holy shit. I wish they would have made that mini series. That sounds pretty fucking cool.

If Frank Darabont ever got involved with a Thing sequel, I'd be camping out to see it. Too bad this never happened.

Maybe they'll get John Carpenter to direct a remake of the remake of the Thing.

It'd be so meta, and he'd HAVE TO get Brimley back. Only this time, he'll shill oatmeal and Life Alert badges while he's on-screen.

Then Carpenter can get his remake of the remake of the remake of the Fog off the ground.
