Default The Thing (2011)

Hi all,

What is the general consensus about this -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_(2011_film)

I, for one, am quite excited, though I have not read a whole lot about it.
It's got a pretty low-key cast, and I would hope that those involved have had a fairly free reign over the film.

Whilst everyone hopes it will be good, and stand up as a companion piece to the first film, what do you guys think so far?

Also, will they be speaking Norwegian? I'm guessing not, given that there are several English/American actors involved.

This film can go fuck itself. Waste of time and money. I pretty sure they will fuck it up Big time.

A back story that doesn't need telling from John Carpenter's masterpiece, some stories don't need to be told.

A prequel to a remake of a remake!

I heard talk they were going to remake 'They Live' as well, shameful.
