The original The Thing is not a remake. I just recently watched the 1951 movie and it is very different from Carpenter’s version. Both films are loosely based on “Who Goes There?” by John Campbell but they are independent interpretations of the source material.
Friend. I am not going that deep. I like both him and Jordan as directors. I know there is like a “the thing” movie before the one I am talking about with sexy Kurt Russel and Devilishly handsome Keith David, who also voiced the awesome Arbiter in Halo.
I just know that one and love it a lot and would love for a talented artist to do one or continue the story with little cgi. I like that type of horror, which is all my dude.
Are you claiming the original was a remake or the 2012 one he produced was a remake? You’re wrong on both accounts, but I need to know the answer to my question so I can tell you why you’re wrong.

Development of the film began in the mid-1970s when David Foster and fellow producer Lawrence Turman suggested to Universal Pictures an adaptation of the 1938 John W. Campbell novella Who Goes There? It had been loosely adapted once before in Howard Hawks’ and Christian Nyby’s 1951 film The Thing from Another World, but Foster and Turman wanted to develop a project that stuck more closely to the source material.
I would love a “The thing” movie by Peele. I feel he’d do justice to it.
I love the way it’s always assumed that a remake of The Thing would do some kind of service/disservice to John Carpenter.
He made a fucking remake. If someone else does a remake, it’s fucking whatever. Carpenter did a fantastic fucking remake, but it’s still a remake.
Like if someone remade The Fly. Cronenberg did a fantastic job. Is it his fucking film? No. It was a remake.

I was wondering why sexy Kurt Russel didn’t wear a winter hat, but I heard he was contractually obligated to show his flowing mullet
His sexy hair is what probably saved him. No way any alien crearure could ever copy that licious flow of human hair. It’d have driven it crazy.

I’m saying the 82 film was a re-whatever of the 51 film/book.
