Del_Duio Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 (edited) I'm surprised nobody's been talking about this movie prequel seeing as how beloved John Carpenter's 1982 movie is (myself included here!) So it's supposed to be what happens to the Norwiegens, right? Funny all the people in the recent trailers on TV don't sound foreign at all. I hope that's not a bad sign of an upcoming needlessly-made suckfest Edited September 30, 2011 by Del_Duio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I don't know if I'll see it in theatres but I'll most likely rent it especially for Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astromancer Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 No...I feel that the Norwegians' predicament is better left unfilmed. It's better left to the imagination. They drug it out of the ship and examined it, it thawed, they caught it in the act, tried to kill it, ect. From the TV spot I saw, it looks like their changing the nature of the creature to be more easily digested by a modern audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presto-digitation Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (tick @ Sep 30 2011, 08:39 PM) Is nothing sacred? Well, it's not a remake but a prequel, which is no worse than a great film with a litany of shitty sequels when you think about it. But it's not the same "characters" played by different actors, like Van Sant remaking Psycho. (It only appears that way).
