Edgerton on The Thing

Joel Edgerton remains tight-lipped about the upcoming prequel to “The Thing” (which he’ll have the lead role of helicopter pilot Sam Carter in), essentially telling Hit (via What’s Playing) what we already know. Still, it’s something…

“Anyone who is a big fan of the John Carpenter version of The Thing knows that it starts on the American base station but the investigation of where the Thing has come from leads us to know something very bad has happened at the Norwegian base station and the prequel centres itself around there and what happened pre-Kurt Russell”.

The flick, directed by Matthijs van Heijningen Jr-and also starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead (“Live Free or Die Hard”), will shoot in Vancouver shortly.
