Honestly to me whatever changes they make won't bother me just as long as the direction is good. If I want to see the Thing accurately adapted 1:1, then I'd just watch the original movie itself. There's no reason to really expect that out of an adaptation, and it's downright unrealistic to do so imo.Aazealh said:Jesus fucking Christ, these guys really stop at nothing.
To me I would be going to see the same story being told in a different way. 1:1 would just be boring since it'd just be material I've seen before. A lot of things Carpenter did also don't transition well to modern films sometimes. The way plotting is used in The Thing as an aspect of of character development is something only Carpenter can do, so already the movie will lose something in that respect. What I expect to see is the same story, shot and shown differently than before. So small changes like updated CG don't really bother me too much; neither does axing Kurt Russell.
