The Thing 2 Story Revealed By Director After Failure Of 2011 John Carpenter Prequel

The Thing prequel director Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. reveals what the story would have been if he had gotten to make a follow-up to his John Carpenter prequel. Released in 1982, The Thing remains one of Carpenter’s most beloved movies, chronicling an Antarctic research team’s battle against a shape-shifting alien monster. Heijningen Jr.’s prequel starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead was released in 2011, but the film ultimately wasn’t received well by audiences or critics.
