Any kid seeing THIS version would not be able to sleep for the rest of their lives! Even some adults too! Really cool. Would love to see a version of “The Thing” like this.
No, "The Thing" was good on it's own. But this should have been a good script for Prometheus. A story how the "Engineers" are testing a alien type virus on humanoids. As the alien virus becomes stronger, the alien part take the upper hand more and more.
The Thing, directed by Ed Wood. Popcorn (snow) on the floor of a Culver City warehouse.................Petey the dog in a worn gorilla costume chases an out-of frame steak.
Looking at all this horrific (and also quite interesting) imagery, I have to wonder: what kind of story would tie all of it together? Marrying up tenets of Alien and The Thing, I'd like to think that R.J. MacReady and co. were deep space longhaulers who stumbled upon an alien signal and, under contractual obligations, set down on an ice world, with their ship getting damaged in the process, then discovered an alien ship. Then, after investigating said ship, various members of MacReady's crew begin to slowly and painfully - or in various cases, violently and catastrophically - morph into humanoid abominations, all bent on assimilating the rest before fixing and relaunching the ship. The rest, faced with death or assimilation, fight to stop them with what's left of their dwindling humanity. Needless to say, body horror and rampant paranoia would be utterly ubiquitous throughout the movie. Sounds kinda badass, in my honest opinion.
@@DekomposerMusic Just imagine, Species, Species II and Species III if directed by Ridley Scott, Steve Jablonsky, Guillermo Del Toro or James Cameron.
