Last January, Jason Blum announced the development of a new film adaptation of the The Thing from Another World (Who Goes There?, 1938), racconto lungo a cui sono già stati dedicati l'omonimo film del 1951 diretto da Christian Nyby e il cult horror The Thing (1982) by John Carpenter.
La scorsa settimana, al Fantasia International Film Festival, proprio quest'ultimo ha svelato che Will collaborate on Universal Studios/Blumhouse project. but without specifying whether it will be a sequel, a prequel or a completely new film.
In 2018, an expanded and unpublished version of the the film of the same name under the title Frozen Hell and apparently the new The Thing si baserà anche sui capitoli aggiuntivi della celebre opera letteraria di John W. Campbell, per una visione completa dall'autore di fantascienza.
The first film adaptation of the short story the film of the same name thus dates back to 1951, with the eponymous title, while in 1982 John Carpenter directed the second transposition entitled The Thing. Instead, in 2011 Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. signed on to direct the prequel (The Thing).
